No, you don't need to upgrade to premium to track; you would need to upgrade if you wanted to create custom amounts.7 -
You can change your macro percentages without upgrading to premium (My Home / Goals / Daily Nutrition Goals - click edit box), unfortunately you can't set macros in grams which many people prefer - that is a premium feature.missiontofitness wrote: »operationmeltdown wrote: »Do I have to upgrade to the premium to track my macros

Gah; that's what I meant, but I worded it wonky. Thanks for the clarification!5 -

For most people the 5% increment will be close enough.6 -

Happy new year. I am 66 kgs and looking forward to gain muscles and toned body.3

Hello! I am looking forward to this journey, but I am a self-saboteur. I will drop about 30 pounds, and for no reason whatsoever.. quit, and gain it all back. This year needs to be different. I am looking to surround myself with people who will call me out and set me straight. I have about 100 pounds to dispose of (not loose - I don't want to find them again!). If you are that type of people.. Friend ME!21

Sounds wonderful. I can use all the help I can get right now. And hopefully someday, I will be the one helping the newbies!!!4 -
Hi all I’m JoY red to drop 50 this year. I lose and then gain back at an alarming rate. Last few days have been good. It’s my 25th anniversary in September so I have a
Good incentive to aim for that.12 -

Hi every. I’m new to my fitness pal. Started off the year right healthier eating and got into a bet with a few co workers on who can loose the most weight and body fat. Most of all body fat. I got 6 months to do so and already have started off right. Cardio and strength training and working on my core also of course better eating habits. Any help helps out a lot motivation is the key. Add me so we can help and motivate each other out with our goals9

Hi I'm Donna, and 21y/o trying to lose the 30lbs I've gained since graduating high school. I'm tracking my diet and exercise and hoping to stay consistent. Feel free to add me if you are in a similar situation!11

Hi everyone. Like some or most of you I've battled my weight since childhood. As an adult I continue to struggle with up and down weight and poor eating habits. I am at my highest weight ever this time at a whopping and depressing 330lbs. I want to get to a point where I am losing and keeping it off. Need accountability and motivation to keep up with healthy eating. I will eventually add exercise but I want to take this 1 step at a time15

Hello, I'm Laura and I'm finally getting serious about weight loss. I got a fit bit and a digital scale to weigh myself and a small scale to weigh my food and I have started to lose weight and that feels good! I've been going to the Y and taking classes and walking the track. I am feeling ok overall but have some unaccustomed muscle soreness at the end of the day. Should I just pop an ibuprofen and power on?7

You should be eating some of your calories back if you are exercising. Your deficit to lose weight is already built in to your daily calorie goal by the site; you risk netting too few calories if you consistently don't eat back some/all of your exercise calories.2 -
Hi all! I am new and looking to lose all the weight I have gained back again and again over the years. I am hoping to lose 40-50lbs.
I just started the Intuitive Eating book/workbook and am feeling very positive about it so far.
I am very open to any and all support as I trek on this fitness and healthy living journey.

Howdy to everyone. I'm Doni, soon to be 59yo, I live in East Texas & grew up in Chicagoland + WI. I have serious cardio & pulmonary issues. Through very poor eating habits, being 3/4 sedentary, meds, fluid retention, etc. I have 100 lbs or more to take off. I am going to set up to do this in 10% increments, that is if I can figure out the iPhone app. lol1
