Snack Ideas Anyone? Macro ratio Thx!
I have about 200 calories = 23g carbs and 46g protein ratio left in my diet plan’s “budget” for the day. Maybe a gram or two of fat. Wish this app could suggest food/ recipe ideas based on such ratios (maybe it does and I overlooked it?) so asking here if anyone has ideas thanks so much!!

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?

Hello, I'm considering to changing back from fitbit. 1. What macro nutrients can you track? 2. Can I track Vitamin C 3. Can I track Folic acid 4. can I track Omega 3 fatty acids 5. Can I track iron 6. Do I need a premium membership to track these and how much is that?
Macronutrient Dashboard
Hi, I track macros so I use the macronutrient dashboard but I HATE how in my food diary it shows "Nutrients Remaining: at the top. I don't want it to count down, I want it to count up. I keep having to go to "Nutrition" and then to "Macros" to be able to see what I've eaten. I also set my goals for the day to "1" for each…

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?
Help Please....

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%…

Meal macro % math problem/issue
Has anyone noticed any errors in the math of the meal macro numbers? I just logged 3 items (eggs, cheese and avocado) to see how much fat is in an omelette. The individual items are correct, but the "meal macros" are completely wrong. This is a HIGH fat meal, but MFP says it's 75% protein and 23% fat. Again, if I add up…
Reading meal macros
Hi Everyone! Hopefully this is a quick answer! I thought I knew how to read the numbers above each meal but when I do the math they don't make sense. For example, my breakfast *looks* like my fat content is high for the entries. But when I go into each food and add up the total fat, it's not even close! The carbs add up…
