Modifying Info in My Fitness Pal

Oct 06, 2014

This information was useful for me and I know I see other people struggling to modify their daily goals in My Fitness Pal. This is probably the most used food tracker for us WLS patients. That's what the consensus seems to be. The database is massive and you can add your own recipes and modify things as required.

In any case this is useful. I thought I'd post it here for others to refer to, if needs be.

On my profile, I elected to modify and track calories, carbs, fat, protein... as well as fiber and iron (two things I have trouble with, personally). I changed the recommended daily amounts and percentages, and while MFP still tells me on occasion that I'm not eating enough calories, I ignore that a$$vice. But it's such a useful tool to keep an eye on things on a daily basis.

To change your daily targets for protein, etc., do the following in MFP:

My Home --> Goals --> Change Goals (button) --> Custom (radio button)  and input your amounts there.

Additionally to see what items you wish to track on your Food home page, do this:

My Home --> Settings --> Diary Settings --> Select from the drop down fields up to five additional things you would like to track on your Food page.

I hope this helps you. It certainly helped me! Good luck!
