Extend macro targets functionality
I'd love to be able to use the functionality of the "keto" macro target setting (where the daily fat target changes according to the calories burned) for carbs instead, maybe by providing a function to lock individual macros in the fixed or ratios settings. My goal with this is to lock my daily protein to 120g and my daily fat to 100g, and automatically adapt the carb target according to the calories burned of the day.
This would be a valuable addition for (non-keto) endurance athletes, where the burned daily calories can vary by 1000kcal or more, and during a training cycle I'd like to make those additional calories up with fruits and oats etc. rather than fats and proteins.

I just sent in a feature request for this, exactly! Guess the forum would have been a good place to start … anyway, here’s what I put in the feature request:
It would be great to set a minimum for a macro (e.g. grams of protein per lb/kg body weight like keto) and set ratios for the other two. Basically like keto mode but have all the controls interchangeably for each macro.For me, personally, I do a lot of endurance exercise and usually scale pretty much only carbs to accommodate exercise calories.
Another thought I just had would be to have a separate set of macro ratios apply to activity vs base calories?
Anyway, love to hear your thoughts or if you have something in the pipeline.

actually, the more I think about, compensating via activity ratios would be really cool, especially if you could set ratios for activity types. E.g. for running or cycling, I might do 75% carbs, 15% protein and 10% fat to compensate, but for strength training it might be 40-50-10. Not sure the answer to “how hard would it be” is, but would be a really powerful tool for managing exercise nutrition and fueling!
