    Hi! I've just started too! Or should I say, I'm in the process of starting. I'm learning as I go - it's a lot to take in when it's so opposite to what I've known before. I've set my target nutrition percentages to FAT 75%, CARBS 5%, PROTEIN 20%. This is my 4th day, but first day tracking. Boy! tracking is a real eye opener! Already I can see I need to eat more fat & less protein, and, it's very time consuming trying to figure out the balance & recording everything! Please tell me it gets easier soon! Anybody any tips on starting Keto & on using this app?

    There's a low carb group that has tons of info about keto https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum

    And a less active keto group that should be useful as well.

    I’d love to join this group. I am on day two of keto.
    I am having difficulty adjusting my macros. I guess it will be trial and error at first

    Your responses confused me. Did you go to https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum and ask to join?

    Hey. I’ve been doing Keto for 3 months and lost 27 lbs. I was using a different app but didn’t like it too much.
    I’m new on this app but can’t figure out how to show net carbs vs total carbs. Does anyone know how to fix the settings on here?

    Subtract fiber from total carbs= net carbs. Unless you pay for premium, you'll have to make that calculation in your head

    Hey I'm back :( gonna piggy back on your thread a bit... sorry.

    trying keto... do I actually need to worry about calories. I'm finding on this diet I'm almost never hungry. I eat maybe once a day... is that bad? Feel great otherwise.
