I've been on IP about 5 weeks and just started using My Fitness Pal after reading about it on this forum. (Thanks for all the diet tips, recipes, success stories and motivation on here, BTW. You guys are a godsend.)
Here's my question for those of you using My Fitness Pal: Right now the program is showing the default "guided" nutritional & fitness goals on my page, which for me are showing 1200 calories, 165g carbs, 40g fat and 45g protein, which are obviously not my goals on IP. I'm assuming that most folks on here who use MFP customize their goals to reflect the calorie, fat and carb counts that we are shooting for, but I'm not actually sure what those are. My coach didn't really spell that out for me. I understand the reasoning of not having us get too hung up on numbers and that if we follow the protocol we will lose the weight without having to track it all, but seeing those huge (wrong!) numbers for calorie and carb goals will probably drive me nuts. So what did you guys do, and how have you customized MFP to make it work better for the IP dieter?
Thanks!!
