How do you count calories for takeout food? Specifically Indian
I ordered in today because I wasn't feeling well to cook. Specifically I got Chicken Makhani and Dal Makhani. I weighed everything on my scale - 3 oz of chicken, 50 ml of the sauce (Im assuming its made of heavy cream and butter, spices) and 50 ml of liquid dal, that had some oil on top. I had one half piece of a large…

When do I create a Food? When do I create a meal?

Why is MyFitnessPal saying I will gain weight when I am under calorie goal?
Hi there. I’m not sure if this is a silly question or if I’m misunderstanding the app’s calculations. I have been using the app to count calories for over two weeks now. For the past couple of days I have been 146 and 418 calories under my 1500 calorie daily goal respectively. Yet when I press “complete diary” at the end…

Potential Feature: Using Logged Food Data to Create Shopping Lists!
This should be a feature available for premium users. If I am in error, and this feature already does exist, I would love to know how to gain access. I have tried exporting a printable version of my Diary and using AI to analyze and generate a list, but the text of the exported file is not OCRed, which means it is not…

Why isn't the scale moving?
I eat at a calorie deficit and exercise 6 days a week. At the end of every day, MFP tells me in 5 weeks I will be down at least 10 lbs, but my weight never goes down. I’m tracking macros and hitting my goals daily. Not only do I do circuit training 3x per week, I walk daily and do yoga most days. Why can’t I lose weight?…

Kitchen Scale
Is there a kitchen scale to track nutrients/macros that sync with Myfitness pal that anyone can recommend?

Pregnant and tracking- for health reasons.
I’m pregnant but I’m 40 lbs overweight. I am so overweight I have been informed I should actually not gain weight, but at most 10 lbs. There is no medical need for me to gain weight. I am trying to at least maintain. I started at 187, and was 194 by 10 weeks. My Dr. was concerned. I have been tracking now (my Dr. is aware)…

Today needs to be my day 1
I weighed myself this morning, I knew that I was gaining but my jaw dropped when I saw that number. I thought to myself it's no wonder why 4 year old asked me if I had a baby in my belly. I am carrying around my middle mostly, but I have extra inches all around, nothing fits like I want it to and I gaze at my closet in…

I am also being prescribed Mounjaro, which is a weight loss injection. I am morbidly obese and constantly had problems with my weight for 15+ years.…

Coming back to weight loss, need friends for tough talk and support.
Hi I lost over 5 stone about 3 years ago using a rival food logging app (take a guess which one) but let myself slip massively and put back on 6.5 stone since then, i made an active decision to start losing weight and get fitter after being barely able to walk due to altitude and lack of fitness on a recent ski holiday, so…

Disappointed that the News Feed is being discontinued
Two years into my lifestyle change journey, I am so discouraged that MFP is shutting off the newsfeed feature. I have learned so much from my MFP friends and because this code is old and buggy, it's being removed. As a former IT manager, I know that there's always the calvary to the rescue! Come on, MFP! Please don't…

Weight loss progress not updating?
So I’ve been on plan a week… in a healthy deficit all week and as a result I’ve lost 2kgs in my first week - you best believe I logged that drop so quick I almost tripped up running to the app. I added it feeling proud! When I nipped on later to log food I notice that my newsfeed updated the change for my friends to see…

Not New… but returning ♥️
Well it’s been more than a hot minute since I tracked every morsel that went in to my mouth… and at my fittest and healthiest when I last embarked on a weight loss journey I was 5stone lighter than I am currently. Sadly life and the horrible events my partner and I have endured has caused my weight to spiral. Since I have…

Beans and nuts. HELP!
So lately beans and nuts have been really messing up my calorie count. I'm cutting right now and have been eating at 1700/day for the past few weeks, but I need high protein to feel full and like eating at 100g protein a day. The problem is, a lot of my protein intake comes from beans and nuts, which are VERY high in…

Have meal type change automatically depending on the time of day.
Hello! One thing I was thinking would really help speed up the process of adding food would be that the meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack) would change based on the time of day. I do know it’s easy to change, but it would be the cherry on the cake for a feature like that to be implemented. Maybe the users can set…

Scan nutrition labels
It would be nice if the app let you scan nutrition labels. Some foods, and pre-made meals do not have a barcode, but they all have nutrition labels. The app should be able to read those labels.

Hi everyone
Hi there I’m new to MFP and am trying to lose weight. I’ve just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and high cholesterol. I’ve been overweight for a good few years and have always wanted to lose weight but the more I wanted to lose it, the more I actually put on!!! It’s amazing how hearing that you’re Type 2 Diabetic from…

My basal metabolic rate is 1238. My workout burns approx 400 calories. Will I lose weight?
On a 1900 calorie diet? When I adjust my protein fat and carbs goal myfitnesspal tells me to eat 1900 calories. With my exercise burn it's gone up to about 2300 calories. Will I still lose weight with this deficit?

Should I worry about a plant fat heavy diet?
Fatty foods are the only foods that really satiate me. I used to eat a lot of garbage, but over the past year, I've switched to mostly plant-based, unsaturated fats (nuts, peanut butter, avocados, high-quality olive oil, etc.). I eat a moderate amount of cheese and eggs (maybe every other day?) and meat when I can afford…

Trying again
Turning 50 this year and need to do something about all this extra weight. I have a hard time tracking consistently - I know all the things I should be doing but actually doing them consistently is hard. I hate when I go to doctor and it says "obese" on the form. I know I eat when stressed and eat when sad and eat when…

How many calories should I be eating
Hi, I’m 29 and weigh 211. I’m curious to get other opinions, MyFitnessPal app says I should be eating 1450 calories a day. Do you think that’s low or should I be eating a little bit more? I tried to Google more about calorie counting, it gets confusing
