    Macros are listed on your food diary next to calories. They are: protein, fat, carbs,sodium, and sugar. Some people track other things on here like-fiber. They help your weight loss by keeping you full, if you eat the right combination. MFP gives you a daily alotment for each one based on your total calories. Many people up their protein and that helps them stay full, especially if they're exercising heavily.

    Thanks for the help, I think I see if I can add fiber.
