Make sure you at least have carbs, fiber, fat and protein selected. You also need to add Fiber as a column to track so the script can calculate Net Carbs for you:Īdd Fiber to your list of nutrients to track. You can set your calories to whatever you please – I ignore calories anyway. I have mine set up as 70% Fat, 25% Protein and 5% Carbs. Next you’ll want to set up your “macros”: HOW TO SET UP MYFITNESSPAL FOR THE LOW CARB DIET If you’re looking for good Atkins apps, or an app to track carbs on a chart easily, this is the IDEAL setup! 😉 What an eye opener! I lost 6.4 pounds the first week I dramatically increased my healthy fats! My goals are: Net Carbs 5%, Protein 25%, Fat 70% (I don’t track calories). I decided to set up, specifically with the Keto Configuration (see below), as I’m working hard on switching my carb/protien/fat percentages.

Except in the beginning when I tracked on paper until I figured out my “safety zones”. I’ve been eating low carb for more than 3 years and used to just “eyeball it”.
