x-post. question on my fitness pall
I just joined it because it seems a popular tool. I added my intake today and it's telling me I'm not eating enough. (I am for where I am) It also tells me how much protein and carbs I should be getting. Is there a way to change the settings to a more bariatric friendly setting.
(It also adds calories to my total by my workouts) Can I stop it doing that too. If I was listening to it as it is set up now, I'd be eating about 15-1600 calories and I'm only 4 months out.

Myfitnesspal isnt designed for WLS users. But it is a useful tool for tracking. Go in and edit your profile. You can put in whatever calorie goal you want. I just ignore the extra calories it adds when I enter exercise. When you enter your weight, it asks if you want to adjust your goals. I always say no. I also ignore the "you aren't eating enough.....". I mainly use it to see how much protein I have , to track my water, and as an accountability tool for exercise. It is also nice to look back and see what I was eating when I was losing better, etc.
