So here is the deal, I’d like to customize my nutrition goals to see if that will help with improving my overall health and continuing my weight loss. I know where to change them, …. But not what to change them to (I am really only looking at Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat). I have been here since March and I have lost about 60 pounds and looking to keep the momentum going and improving my health (so losing more weight is a part of it). I am going to start lifting weights again so I want to increase my protein. Any advice would be appreciated. Current weight 200, goal weight in the 185 -190 range.

    I know a lot of folks do 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. That's what I do. It's doable, and should help with the muscle building. I'd say give that a try and see how it does for you.

    Thanks for the information, I may give those settings a try for a few weeks and see what happens. In the past I just accepted the default MFP settings, guess it is time to mix it up!
