Hi everyone,
Just wondering if you find mfp accurate for tracking macros, more specifically protein?

That's up to you.
If you select the appropriate entry from the food database and check that it has the correct data for proteins, and if you use a food scale to weigh your portions, it is 100%.
If you pick an item from the database that only has calories and no other nutrients, it will be very inaccurate.1 -
Its close enough to be very useful. Use MFP and track everything accurately and see what the scale says. If you are hitting you calorie/macro goals and the scale is doing what you want it to do then dont stress. If it’s not try and figure out where the issue is whether its MFP or not you tracking correctly and make adjustments
