Love using MFP to track what I'm eating but am still a bit confused as to how to set my daily goal values. The doctor wants me to have 30 grams of carbs (or less) so I set that number at 15% and MFP set my daily calories to 800. Then I get a message that I'm eating too few calories.

How are your numbers set? Or do you just ignore the message and number of calories?

not sure where you are at...but my nutritionist wants me to eat 1200 calories a day, but I suppose that varies with providers...but to make changes here is what you do:

1. go to goals

2. change goals

3. change to custom

4. you can change anything you want to there

Hope that is what you are looking for...best wishes to ya darlin'!

Mine tells me the same thing everyday. I eat anywhere from 900-1000 calories a day as per orders. So I just ignore that when it comes up. Best of luck to you.

I ignore that message also....... Some days too few, some days too many, some days right on target....... It's LIFE!

I have been using the app called "Lose it" which seems to better integrate with Apple Health Kit. Apple health is a database that is included with IOS, apple's built in software. The advantage of Apple Health integration is that the apple watch and other step and exercise data are automatically fed into the app. Plus any other app that queries the Apple Health Kit database can pull up your nutrition intake that you have entered into Loose It. This app has a bar code scanner and has a huge database of products. Really easy to log food intake, set weight goals and monitor calorie consumption and burn levels.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
