First time using My Fitness Pal
Hey everyone! I’m new to My fitness pal. I have been using the Lose it! app and been pretty successful in tracking my calories to lose weight. I dropped from 231lbs in August 2023 to 210lbs today. I want to try this app as well! So far I’m liking it! My goal weight is 180lbs. Only 30 more pounds to go! Nice to meet you all!

Add tracking option for Total Carbs
Since you cannot always trust manufactures to be truthful about net carbs, it would be good to track total carbs. I follow both Gary Brecka and Mark Sission and both suggest that you keep your total carbs at 50 or under a day for a keto diet.

Protein Snacks
Hey, I'm doing macros and always struggle to get my protein in and not go over in fat. I've upped my fat, but still it's an issue. I need some lower fat, higher protein snack ideas. I really don't care for chicken or really any meat, but I do it when I must.

Fix the app for those doing Keto! Don't reset goals just to update weight
I tried to update my weight today. And it warned me that by changing my weight, I'd have my goals reset. Why would I need my macro levels reset just because I weigh less? I understand that calorie intake and grams will change. But why change my percentages?! Every time I weigh in I have to reset my macros?

Macros totalling more than calorie goal
My calorie goal is 2500 so if you divide that up that's 281g for carbs, 218g for protein and 55g for fat split 45/35/20 accordingly. But on the Macros tab for "today" it shows carbs 331g, protein 258g and fat 66g which adds up to 2950 calories. Have I done something wrong?

Best macros for weight loss
I'm tired of fad diets that drastically reduce carbs, fat, sugar or whatever. They don't work for me ... I get really cranky and cheat. I find I am more satiated and less likely to cheat when I eat a balanced diet. I read online that the most effective approach for many people is eating a range of 5 to 15% carbs, 25 to 35%…
