Weekly cal goal or daily
Do you watch your overall weekly goal or just daily? Because I started watch my weekly goal so sometimes I've got like 900cal to spare on the last day of the week. I'm wondering that'll actually make me gain weight. I started the weekly goal thing and I've been gaining weight so I'm wondering if that's the cause.

Confused.
I used to maintain while eating 1300cal + fitbit cal but then I decided to try upping it to 1400cal + fitbit cal.

Because sometimes…

Carbs turn into fat.
hello. I'm wondering that since carbs turn into fats then I can just ignore the nutrition composition in MFP and displace some calories for fat with carb right? Since carbs will turn into fats anyway. That way our body may even uses more energy to convert one into the other. Can I do that?

Is diet composition essential in maintaining weight?
hi, since I've read so many articles that says maintaining weight, losing weight and even gaining weight is all about calories in versus calories out. So can I maintain my weight if I eat,let say, 60% carb 25%protein and 15% fat? Does the composition matter? Or it's just really all about calories in versus calories out?
