Your daily goal lets you configure your daily nutrition targets (protein, carbs, fat, and calories), the recurring meals within your goal, optional meal-level macro targets for those meals, and the weekly schedule for the goal.
During new account setup, you are guided through the process of creating your first daily goal. In this article, you will learn how to edit and manage your daily goals.
Tap Goals in the bottom navigation (the mountain ⛰ icon)
Tap into your goal to access the "Edit Goal" screen
On Edit Goal, you can rename your goal, set new macro targets (either manually or by clicking the "Calculate My Macros" button to be guided through the macro calculator), and update your goal schedule.
When entering your macro targets manually, MacrosFirst will automatically calculate your calories from the macros you enter. You can also set your own calorie target, independent of the macros. This is useful if you only want to set a daily target for some nutrients, like Protein and Calories, but not all.
Edits to a daily goal apply to your daily log on today’s date and empty days, that is, days where no foods have been logged.
You can edit your daily recurring meals in More > Daily Meals
Daily Meals
Build a recurring schedule of meals — and foods — that appears on your Journal automatically
Creating multiple daily goals is helpful for carb cycling, setting different goals for rest days vs. training days, or uniquely managing cutting and massing phases.
To create a new daily goal:
Tap Goals in the bottom navigation (the mountain ⛰ icon)
Tap the + button in the top right corner
You can also copy any daily goal from the "Edit Goal" page by tapping the copy icon in the upper-right corner. Copying a daily goal is helpful if you wish to adjust your daily targets without having to also rebuild all of your goal meals from scratch in the new goal.
Tap Goals in the bottom navigation (the mountain ⛰ icon)
Tap into your goal to access the "Edit Goal" screen
Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap the red "Delete Goal" button
Goals can be scheduled for each day of the week. Premium members with multiple goals can override the goal schedule on their daily log by tapping the ... button next to the goal and selecting a new goal.
For example, if you have a "Training Day" goal scheduled on Tuesdays but this Tuesday you couldn't workout, you can use the ... button to change today's goal to "Rest Day" or anything else.
