Macronutrients in MyFitnessPal
For MyFitnessPal to count your macronutrients, you’ll need to set your target calories. It all depends on your body type, activity levels and goals. MyFitnessPal automatically sets your macronutrients to 50 per cent carbs, 20 per cent protein and 30 per cent fat, but it’s up to you to decide how to divide your calories. Adjust them according to your preferences in the settings. Choose Update Diet/Fitness Profile to see and edit your goals.
Once you record your meals in the app, MyFitnessPal calculates the number of grams of carbohydrates, fat and protein, making it easy for you to monitor the distribution of macronutrients in your diet.
Tip: The longer you use MyFitnessPal, the easier it becomes to find a good balance in your diet. Planning your meals in advance can help you to stay on track and reach your goals.
