So I am trying to set calorie and macro goals in the app and it just doesn’t want to play ball.

So I want to set my total calorie and protein macro at a set point - this is all I want to do but the app doesn’t like that.

I have tried the various options in my profile but when I increase one set point it effects the others or vice versa and goes out of whack.

Eventually I managed to set protein and calories but then the main count down stat at the top goes all out of whack after exercise or something prompting me to check the settings only to find they are still the same as I have set?

I just want to simply set to figures and have them count down and up according to intake and expenditure of energy?

    Is there a help desk or app support email?

    In the free version, you can only set your macros by percentages -- not sure if your problem is that you want to set your macros by grams? If that's really important to you, you can do it in the premium (pay) version. You can also disable the feature that increases your daily calories when you log exercise in the premium version.

    MFP is set up so that the calories associated with your macro goals have to add up to your total calories. If you change one, the others have to change to stay in balance.
