Let use choose our total calories in automatic macro ratios

Quack66

When selecting Macro targets, we can use automatic ratio. This is fine but should let us choose our own calories amount.

MFP does this where when you select for example 2500 calories with a 30-30-40 split the amount of grams of each macros will reflect the correct value for 2500 calories.

If I select the automatic ratio, there is now way for me to manually input my calories amount.

I could select the fixed ratio value but the grams of the macro need to be changed manually.

I believe that total calories is a calculated field that is based on burned calories (BMR, activity, exercise) and on weight loss/gain goal (lose 1.5 lbs or 2 lbs per week).

Hi there Quack,

I'll pass this along to the team! It's great to have feedback on improving your energy and macro target settings.
