Calculating Macros
In the past I have liked high protein macros. A few years back I went to a bariatric doctor, where I also spoke to a dietitian.

Besides using protien supplements, how can I reach 117g of protein a day?
My dietician and physician set my macros, and while I am seeing some good change in my health, I am getting very tired of protien shakes/powders. I tried to reach my goal of 117g of protien without it several times, but I struggle to even get close. Any advice on creating meals with 35g to 40g of protien without some kind…
How important is it to hit your Protein macros?
So I've tracked Macros from time to time, and it is generally very effective for me. However, I've never been able to hit my Protein goals. For example, right now my goal is 163g - but even with protein powder and trying to super high protein meals, I'm still short close to 40g. I've always had this issue, and never had…

Hi Friends! Help!!
Hello lovely people! I started Burn Boot Camp in Georgia and they suggested using MFP to help make changes. The only thing is…I’m absolutely horrible at tracking anything.

Confusing Macros
Hi all, I'm a 58 year old female and need to lose 50 pounds. I saw a dietitian last week and he said I need 73-80 grams of protein and 90-135 grams of carbs. Those were his only instructions.

Water
Is there an water tracking iOS app that integrates with MyFitnessPal?
Why isn't the scale moving?
I eat at a calorie deficit and exercise 6 days a week. At the end of every day, MFP tells me in 5 weeks I will be down at least 10 lbs, but my weight never goes down. I’m tracking macros and hitting my goals daily. Not only do I do circuit training 3x per week, I walk daily and do yoga most days. Why can’t I lose weight?…
