Your daily calorie target is the number listed in your current MacroRx+ prescription.

That number has been personalized for you based on your starting information, goals, activity level, and how your body has been responding to the program. As we collect more information from your actual results, your coach can adjust your prescription when appropriate.

Use your MacroRx+ calorie prescription—not the calorie goal MyFitnessPal calculates for you.

MyFitnessPal may generate its own calorie recommendation based on the information in your profile. It may also try to increase your available calories when you log exercise or when it receives activity data from a connected device. Those numbers are not your MacroRx+ prescription.

Don’t add calories to your prescription because MyFitnessPal says you’ve “earned” them through exercise. Your normal activity level is already considered when your MacroRx+ prescription is established.

Likewise, don’t reduce your calories on your own because you’d like to lose weight faster or because the scale hasn’t moved for a few days. Your coach reviews your progress and will determine when an adjustment is appropriate.

You also don’t need to hit your calorie number perfectly. Aim to finish reasonably close to your prescribed calorieswhile following your other priorities:

Calories → Minimum Protein → Carbohydrate Target

If your activity level changes significantly, or you’re consistently having difficulty eating near your prescription, let your coach know rather than changing your targets yourself.

Your MacroRx+ prescription—not MyFitnessPal’s suggested goal, exercise calories, or a number from another calculator—is the calorie target you should follow.
