I feel confused about what an ideal day on MF looks like. I've heard between 80-100 for carbs but that seems high. Protein is a bit all over the map for me depending on my L&G from 80 on low days to 150 on high days. Fat kinda lurks around 20-30. What do you all shoot for and does anyone have actual details on this? I'd like to set my MFP preferences to be in alignment with a great day on MF!

According to MF, the ideal carb range for fat-burning is 80-85 per day, but you can have up to 100 if necessary. I try to keep my protein around 100 or more. I more or less let fat do whatever it will, but try not to have lots of high fat days in a row. Calories I try to keep in the 800-1000 range.
You can go look at my diary to see how I have my targets set up. It works pretty well for me!

I have mine set on custom to 1000 calories; 30% carbs; 45% protein; and 25% fat and it seems to work for me. But I don't always lose 2-5 lbs a week either - but then again I don't always follow it 100%. Life just gets in the way.0
