Hello Keto Peeps, I have started Keto but I can’t quite figure out how to get my settings to work to track my macros. I have changed it to be macros but the percentages won’t cooperate or align with the calories. Any quick tips would be great! I have been tracking with CarbManager which I prefer way more (for The way is shows me how I am tracking), but had bought the premium version of myfitnesspal.

    Welcome to the world of KETO!

    Not sure about the settings. I like you changed my percentages of macros. Low carb & higher fat & protein...

    KETO really works BTW... :)

    Check your food entries, they may not be accurate (database is user entry) which may be why your calories don't align.

    I had trouble with the settings at first as I wanted them to be exact, as in carbs at 20 grams. The macro percentage did not get me there. I started out finding percentages as close as I could to my calorie goal. It was a great lesson for daily logging. I rarely hit my percentages on the dot. I look at week long trends, weight loss and how I feel physically and emotionally to gage how I am doing. The calculator is just a tool - don’t sweat the small stuff😁
