Protein target calculated by body mass.
I have Apple Health integration turned on, and I weigh myself daily, so my current weight flows into Cronometer in the morning.
What I'd like is to be able to set my protein target as a multiple of my weight in kilograms--say, setting it to "1.6 g/kg/day" or "2 g/kg/day"--and have it calculate that day's protein target. Then for fat and carbs, set a percentage to apportion the rest of the calories between those two remaining macronutrients.
I sort of do this in my head now; I've set my percentages so that protein works out about 1.8 g/kg/day. But it'd be helpful if the software could do it instead.

I'd like this too. I might try and switch to MacroFactor as LLMs tell me they have the ability to set g/kg.
Dr. Milo Wolfe just made a video about this, and I'd like to set a minimum of 2.35 g/kg of bodyweight for protein, minimum of 1g/kg for carbs, and 0.5-1.0 g/kg of fat.
Please add g/kg of bodyweight to targets.

I agree, nearly all experts talk about protein in g per Kg/lb bodyweight. I'm surprised this hasn't been in there for ages.
