# Maintain macro goals with Smart Macros

If you have a [Premium subscription](/docs/subscribe-to-carb-manager-premium), turn on the Smart Macros feature to automatically adjust your macro and calorie or kilojoule goals as your weight changes or if you [change your activity level](/docs/update-your-activity-level) in [your profile](/docs/en/create-your-profile). With Smart Macros, Carb Manager recalculates your goals each time you [log a weight measurement](/docs/en/log-weight). When you reach your [weight goal](/docs/en/set-health-goals-for-weight-activity-fasting-and-more), Carb Manager changes your goal to a maintenance goal to help you maintain your weight.

**Note:** When the Smart Macros feature is on, your recalculated macro goals appear in a [chart in the daily log](/docs/view-progress-charts-of-daily-nutrition-goals-and-totals). The [goals you initially set](/docs/set-your-main-goals-with-macros-calculator) cannot be changed while the Smart Macros feature is on.

1. Go to [Embedded object](https://cdn.document360.io/39f753db-7167-486f-a297-e9dee7536f7d/Images/Documentation/avatar-menu-settings.svg) **Settings**.
2. In the Goals section, select [Embedded object](https://cdn.document360.io/39f753db-7167-486f-a297-e9dee7536f7d/Images/Documentation/calculator.svg) **Macros Calculator**.
3. Go to the My Macronutrient Goals section, and turn on the **Smart Macros** setting.
4. Go to the bottom of the screen and select **Apply Macros Goals**.

**Tip:** For best results with the Smart Macros option, be sure to completely set up your [profile](/docs/create-your-profile), [energy (calorie or kilojoule) and macro goals](/docs/set-your-main-goals-with-macros-calculator), and [weight goal](/docs/set-health-goals-for-weight-activity-fasting-and-more) first. Later, [update your activity level](/docs/update-your-activity-level) and [add weight measurements](/docs/en/log-weight) as they change.**Tip:** To view progress toward your goals, see [View progress and gain insights toward goals](/docs/view-progress-and-gain-insights-toward-goals).
