iOS iPhone 14 & 15 barcode scanning improvements
I've been frustrated that the barcode scanning is so much worse in my iPhone 14. There is a solution. On these phones, the app developer must switch the camera to "Macro Mode" when entering the bar code scanning option. This is because the focal length of the default camera is much longer than prior models. Would you…

Measurements out to 2 or 3 decimal points, and fix rounding please
Love the measurements, especially how (in Premium) you can define your own. However, having only one decimal place is leaving potential "motivation power" on the table! Some measurements change in very small increments; for example, neck circumference, or calf circumference, or Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) mass. Also, the…

Logging caffeine and all vitamins
Would be a game changer to be able to log and at least be able to add our own values for caffeine and vitamins (supplements or natural). In the UK and EU caffeine is on the labels and micronutrients are often included too.
-
Recipe Share
I make recipes a lot, and would like to be able to share the recipe and nutritional data with my husband or anyone on my friends list, so that they can pull the data and use it to add to their food log. So far, I am unable to see a way to do this and it is frustrating. Don’t want to just copy a meal, but the actual recipe…

Naming Quick Adds
Hello. There are times when my husband or I would like to do a quick add for various reasons. It would be great to be able to add a title instead of just seeing ‘quick add’ when we look back at our food logs. This would help with seeing what meal it may have been that we used the wick add for.
-
Syncing with Coros
Anyone know if there are plans to have Coros watches sync with myfitnesspal? As it stands now, I either have to do a manual entry or make sure it's in strava.
-
Net Carbs toggle on/off
I'm Type 2 diabetic. My dietician won't let me deduct fiber from carbs in a meal unless I eat 6 gms of fiber in that meal. Your "net carbs" measure is useless to me and may be harming Type 2 diabetics who haven't worked with a dietician to understand their numbers. I need to see my carbs by themselves. I would love to be…
-
exercise database
I feel like there needs to be a lot more different exercises in the database because if it isn't something completely generic like walking or running, you're not gonna find it. and I don't know how many calories I burned while doing my timed workout, its on time intervals and not on set amounts or reps.
-
Option to change the time daily data resets.
I'm sure plenty of other people have mentioned this, but tracked data resetting at midnight when you work overnight makes using the app difficult and inconvenient. Personally, I would be happy with a simple slider that changed the reset time from midnight to noon, but other people might like the option to change to a…
-
Nutrients
Would like to see more nutrient detail specifically phosphate, Vitamin D, B6 and B12. Would be helpful to Pre Diabetic users also those with CKD.
-
Change minimum allowable calorie goal to 1,100
I am very petite, only 4'10" tall, so 1200 calories per day is too much for me, and I can't use "Logging Progress". I think it would be more inclusive to lower the minimum calorie requirement for us short people.

Water saved to Apple Health
Please consider separating fluids into their own category, estimate the actual water content and import into Apple Health. Look to the Apo Water Reminder for a model. Dislike having to use another app to track my water consumption.
-
Symptoms tracking
Would love to see a feature where you can report a symptom or how the food makes you feel. Or at least an app integration for a app that does

Allow one to Define Daily Macro goals using nicknames or labels
I have been using MyFitnessPal for several years and a Lumen Metabolic Tracker for a couple of years. The Lumen Metabolic Tracker creates daily macronutrient plans based on your individual caloric needs (maintain, lose, or gain weight) and your CO2 levels in the morning. Lumen breaks down the macro nutrition plans into…
-
New Section for Vitamins and Supplements?
It would be handy if there was a separate section in the diary to log my daily vitamins and supplements. Right now I add them to the Snack section, but that just makes that section too busy. Thanks!
-
Weight Per Serving for Imported Recipe
Once a recipe is imported, the macros are divided by servings, so I have to estimate my serving size to determine my macros. It would be nice if based on the ingredients in my recipe, I could still choose grams or other measures. This way I can cook my recipe, weight my portion, and input based on weight.
-
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.
-
Capturing nutrition info from a photo
I'd love to be able to just be able to take a photo of a nutrition label and have MFP automatically add the information when creating a new food rather than having to type everything in manually. It would function similarly to a reverse image search or text recognition in a PDF. MFP could automatically map the data to the…
-
FDA Nutrition Facts Scan option to create new food
By now, Premium users should be able to scan standard FDA nutrition facts labels to create a food that doesn’t exist in the MFP database. To not allow it, discourages members from taking the time to add full, accurate documentation of foods to the database, and allows for typographic errors when entering which both affect…
-
Nutrition label scanner
Are use a prepared meal plan for weight loss. And none of the foods are logged in your database. I don’t have a problem adding these manually, but it would be so much easier if I could scan the nutrition label to get all of the nutrition information logged in.

Ensure non-alcoholic “beer” isn’t tracked as alcohol
I have been working very hard to not drink alcohol, so I was surprised to see that I had 2 alcoholic beverages in my weekly summary. Very disappointed about that. Perhaps a check box could be enabled by users when logging an alcoholic beverage to get around needing to figure out how the system would know that a “corona”…

Add sodium information
I'm a diabetic with heart failure so carb values are not enough 💔
-
"My Pantry" section for saved foods
I often find myself searching through much of my history just to find one item that I had several days or even weeks ago. I'm always worried that it will fall off of the "recent" list and then I'll have to do lots of searching to find it again. It can be difficult to find my regular known items -- the ones that I actually…
-
Quick Add
I wish we could type in what food item we are adding when using the quick add feature. There are times I ate a whole buck of different snacks/appetizers/hor d’ourves at a party or whatever and just want to quick add an estimate of calories using the quick add. Being able to quick add calories is fine but it’d be great to…
-
💡- more clean up or moderation of community boards
Many of the community categories are clogged with 1 post wonders with no photo, no investment who never stick around long enough to reply or engage and 12 yr old posts that are revived because newer users don’t understand they are replying to someone who has been long gone and a post that is irrelevant, would it be…
-
Fasting log
Hello. I frequently fast for several days but currently cannot log that in this app. It would be helpful if I could add a “all day” fast everyday or choose a multiple day fast to log. If I could do this I would use this app so much more.
-
Non exercise active calories not being tracked
The calories earned by being active during the day which are not part of an exercise activity are not being added to your daily calorie allotment. They show up in my Garmin Connect app but not the Myfitnesspal app. Please fix.
-
Set Macros/Calories for specific # of weeks at a time for cut/maint w/o affecting prior entries
Ok so would like to be able to set macros for a number of weeks at a time. If I do a 6 week cut those set macros should not be affected when I end and go into maintenance this way I can go back and see where my set macros were at the time.
-
Intermittent fasting
I suggest you are allowed to finish fasting when you want. The most MFP allows is 16 hours. Some of us want to be able to see our progress past 16 hours.

AI Meal Plans and searchable recipes
Hi I Love mfp I would really love to see a refreshing update with AI done for you meal plans with macros and all diets considered eg. meat/veg/keto/vegan ect. And please increase the recipe section and make it searchable. even if it's an optional add on with a free trial it would just make following a healthy diet more…
