Anyone know what the percentage settings should be in myfitnesspal for Carbs, Fats, and Proteins?

Hi there

Try looking at this site. If you enter your details, it will tell you the calories you need to maintain weight (sometimes surprisingly low!) and it will recommend protein/fat levels once you have entered carbs – many people do really well on BSD on 50g of carbs or less per day, but you can set it higher if you like.

You can then enter the resulting percentages in MFP

This was very helpful for me, hope for you too. 🙂

MyFitnessPal 800 cal percentage settings –

Latest version of MyFitnessPal allows you to enter 800 cals as a daily goal and to split that goal up with percentages for Carbs, Fat and Protein.

From reading the book and some amateur assumptions and calculations I have come up with
carbs 25% = 50g, fat 50% = 44g and protein 25% = 50g and I’d really like someone to verify this is correct?

Can someone verify that this is correct? or alternatively suggest others?
Thanks in advance!
