FitnessPal Nutrition Goals

[GingerLeAnna 14]

I am trying to setup my FitnessPal Nutrition Goals and I am curios as to how many gram of Protein, carbs, and fat we should be getting each day.

My Fitness Pal won't really let you set up goals the way we as bariatric patients need it set up. You just have to kind of fudge the numbers. I just make sure I get under 50 grams of carbs, 80 grams of Protein, and I don't keep track of fat only calories. I keep my calories between 900-1000, but I'm almost 6 months out. Hope that helps!

I've actually been able to customize the MyFitPal goals to fit what is needed. When you go to set the goals, you can hit the custom button, and enter exactly what you want. (On the computer/web based version....don't think I can do that on my phone app.)

If you set the calorie total you want, it then it lets you set a percentage for carbs, Protein and Fat, along with anything else you've added (sodium / Vitamins, etc.)
I used 950 calories, with 40% Protein, 20% carbs and 40% fat. That works out to 95g protein, 48g carbs and 42g fat as a daily "limit". I really only pay attention to the protein as a measure, to be sure I'm getting in all I need to. The carbs and fat calorie/ totals: I find I do not pay as much attention to them, but I'm always "under" at the end of the day anyway for those.
