What do you guys have your MFP nutrition targets set to?

The best I can jigger is

Net Calories Consumed* calories Carbohydrates 50g (25%) Protein 100g (50%) Fat 22g (25%)

... but we definitely shouldn't be getting 22 grams of fat a day, should we?

And what about this stuff?

Cholesterol mg Sodium mg Potassium mg Fiber g Sugars g

I set MFP primarily for the grams of protein and carbs and let the MFP program calculate the fats. I use olive oil regularly and butter when I want it. I'd rather use butter than manufactured margarine...I don't care who makes it....it manufactured!

80 g protein, 60 g carbs, 30 g fat and 10g fiber. At 800 calories it's 40/30/30 % I don't think healthy fats are bad, they keep your skin and hair nice and keep you full longer. I love avocado, nut butters, olives and olive oil and my new favorite, rice bran oil.

This is what is from my surgeon

It has taken some fiddling but my body does better with 30%Protein, 45% carbs and th difference in fats. but it is very good carbs, no Pasta, no potato, no corn, only a tiny amount of whole wheat bread products, and only the sugar that is in foods.

still i need 1700+ calories a day so that is 150+ grams of protein--and it is a challenge to get it all in each day.

if i drop below that amount i stop losing weight ( go figure).

(of course i do exercise 8 to 10 hours a week now that my knee doesn't hurt.)

experiment around a bit and see what works best for you.
