Hi all,

Anyone having issues where their macro % split goal keeps altering itself?

I’ve been set a fixed calorie goal and a % split across my macros which is consistent day by day (2198 calories, 55% carbs, 25% protein and 20% fats) however looking through my days the goal keep changing on its own from the above to 45% carbs, 30% protein and 25% fats and my calories goal changing to 2230.

I’m having to keep resetting it every few days otherwise the diet I’m eating is out of sync with what my PT has set me.

    Usually I would assume this is due to adding exercise to your diary, which would then affect your macro and calorie goals for the day. If this is not the case, you will want to reach out to our support team so they can take a closer look.

    Yeah. I'm having the same issues. My nutrition goals keep changing back to some sort of default settings. I'm having to resety macro goals and my fitness goals almost daily. For a couple weeks now. Very frustrating. I use the free ios app. Not sure what your using. The advice I've found is to make sure your running the updated version of the MFP app and if so to delete and reinstall. 😬 that's anxiety inducing. But I think I'll give it a try. I've used MFP for many years now without many issues, this just popped up.

    Yes, mine too. Goals reset most days to default. Also recipes not saving edits, and recipes won't add checked to daily diary. I too have used for years without a problem.

    I'm having the same problem of it resetting to default values every day or so.

    This is a bug that's been ongoing for almost 3 weeks now. See this thread: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10888683/daily-goals-change-to-what-mfp-thinks-is-correct#latest

    Basically, if you update your weight, your goals get reset against your wishes. There is a work-around in the linked thread, but the bug hasn't been fixed.

    This is happening to me. Set macros keep resetting themselves to much higher value for some reason when I update diary - when I start the day it’s the set values then jumps to some CRAZY level. I paid money to have this feature added - what’s going on???

    Add me to the list of this very frustrating problem, If it doesn't get fixed soon, I'm dumping this app and will find one that works.
