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....
How do I turn off Fitbit calorie adjustment? I just want to see the actual calories/macros I intake each day.

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%…
Advice for transition off Keto?
I’ve been on a Keto program for 6 months.

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…

Moved here from Noom
Hello I just recently left Noom. Was part of it since 2019. But jumped ship. Landed here and I have to say that this App has a lot more to offer. I’m not here to complain about Noom.

Replacing “breakfast, lunch, dinner” with “meal 1, meal 2, etc”
As a lot of people are turning away from the traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner diet structure and moving towards having smaller, more frequent meals, it would be nice if the app gave you the option to ADD meals and to also change the names of meals (for example, “post-workout meal, meal 5”). As a competitive…

Introduction
I'm 65, retired and I was recently diagnosed with 'prediabetes' from a raised HbA1C blood test. I knew I was about 30% overweight and in the BMI 'obese' category. Not a good look.
