Lock a macro
Maybe I am missing something but I can't seem to find how to lock a macro. As an example, no matter how much or little I exercise, I want to get 150g of protein. That's my goal, not more or less. Currently, any time I exercise a lot it suggests a lot more than 150g and when I have a sedentary day protein drops a lot. This…

Asian Recipes That Fit Macros - Survey
When I was weight lifting regularly, I found myself hating most of the recipes that were recommended on weight lifting forums. I love cooking and could be described as a “foodie” so eating chicken and broccoli variations with little flavor was incredibly depressing. I ended up creating a huge spreadsheet of my favorite…

Chart for reviewing historical Marco trends to help review/set percentages easier
As a new user, I love how easy it is to track calories, and so much other stuff about MFP! The one areas I do not have a good handle on yet is what % to set my macro targets at.

A feature that allows a user to cycle their macros (carb / calorie cycle)
Currently a user can customise their daily nutrition goals by setting custom daily goals, this is ok, but it would be very useful to be able to take this customisation one step further by setting custom goals based on the workout intensity for a specific day. For example, to be able to set macronutrients for the following…

Goal Setting
Hello, I'd like to set my goals to a specific protein, fat, carb independent of the calories. When I change the macros, the calories change as well. How can I bypass this to get what I need. I am a premium member. Thanks.

Will going over my macros speed up my weight gain?
To make a long story short, I reverse dieted after a very long and restrictive diet and accidently ended up losing more weight in the process, making me mildly underweight by the end of it. Since the end of said reverse diet a few weeks ago, I've been eating in a calorie surplus in an attempt to bring myself back up to a…

Difficulty achieving Macro Protein intake.
Macros baffle me, and I cannot hit the mark! I usually manage not to exceed my 1200cal daily food goal. (It is a challenge, but I am pretty diligent). I enter all my food into MFP. I try to combine this calorie focus with MFP macro goals... but, my protein always falls short (I usually only eat between 30-60g protein). My…
