does anyone else feel irritated that we can't complete a day of logging in food if you don't have more than 1000 calories? let me know if there's any way to get around this

Yes I hate that too, no way around it that I know of.

One way to avoid it is to not click the "complete" button.

Another is to make an artificial placeholder entry (example: make an entry for 200 calories or whatever with no Protein, carbs or fat.

It, just ignore it.

I just ignore it now ......

I also just ignore it

Customize your calorie amount. In the menu option go to goals Under nutrition goals "Calorie and macro-nutrients goals"

Chang the default goal to what ever number you like I had mine at 600 but changed it to 800 now.

It drives me crazy too.

Great advice! Thank you.

I discovered this too (just a while ago), and now I am reading your post re customising under Goals

I changed my calories, and also had to change my Protein, Carbs and Fat percentages, as under my New calorie goal, the automatic readings for Proteins, etc were not right for me at this stage.

So, it can be fixed!

I made my own nutritional sheet in my computer. As I eat something new I enter it into my master sheet. It totals up all of the important information of my food intake.

I saw my NUT (Dietician today),

Told her re : MyFitnessPal

She said that she had to work out the numbers and percentages for few of her bariatric clients.

So here are My adjusted measures for me at MyFitnessPal.

So for me these are the recommended Daily measures:

1. 800 calories
2. Protein 40%, which is 60-70 g
3. Carbs 35%
4. Fats 25%


Now, for the shock of hers ideal weight goal for me ...... 68kg! Up to 74kg with the sleeve .....
OMG!!!

I am willing at this stage to downgrade my goal of 60kg to 65kg.
I will adjust my weight ticker to 65 kg.

Grrrrrrr ......

I forgot to add that these measures are for me for Now,

I currently started the Phase 4 post op: Minced/Mashed Texture for 2 weeks.

So, the above measures may need to be adjusted again, later on.

Couldn't find the Edit button after posting earlier .....

You need to go on the actual website to adjust the calories. You can't do it on the app. I did mine last night and I have it set at 1000 calories.

Yes, I mainly use the website for the MyFitnessPal. Adjusted everything on their website.

I have the app, but find it easier to use on my Mac.

I just couldn't edit my earlier post here, on this forum .....
