Does anybody use this app to track macros for a keto diet? Does it count carbs accurately?

    It counts everything accurately if it's entered into the database accurately. If you want it to count net carbs then your out of luck unless your using a desktop computer

    You have to add fiber to your MFP food diary in order to keep track of net carbs. It won't do it for you automatically on here, unfortunately.

    I find MVP is pretty accurate on carb % protein% and fat% . I e seen used this to keep my weight loss goal .. I've loss 55lbs it does happen overnight. It it works.. I stick to 5% carbs 75%fat healthy fats and 20% protein. It's worked for me ..

    Hi Everyone, I am just new to this and starting the Keto diet. Is there a way to set up MFP to match what I should be eating? I used a keto calculator based on my weight and the percentages are different the MFP. Just curious how to change this. Any help would be appreciated! TIA

    Go to your home page, then click "Goals" - you can customize your macros there.

    FYI everyone, you'll have more luck finding people eating a similar way on the main boards. There's a lot of discussion about keto in the Getting Started, General Diet and Weight Loss, and Food and Nutrition forums, and there's a couple of active LCHF/keto groups.
