    IIFYM tends to over estimate your protein needs.

    yes, you can track fibre

    Well those certainly aren't MFP estimates. I suspect it's a IIFYM calculator.



    OP, what are your stats? Also, use the link below for the diary settings.

    If youre not used to eating that much fiber I suggest kind of gradually increasing it and increasing your water or you may start to feel backed up and gassy

    I could have sworn that said MFP tends to over estimate protein.. I need more caffeine apparently.

    Is the ability to track fibre only available on available on premium? I have only started tracking meals. I generally use Kettlebells 3 days a week and I'm active with m Thai the
    2 a week. I have used habit based coaching but I suspect I'm over eating as I'm gaining. Fat. Body fat is about 18% I'm 6 foot 2 and I'm 15.5 stone. I'm not concerned about weight but I want to strip off body fat. Would I better to stick to oops MFP cals to follow this??thanks
