Copy yesterday to today
As a creature of habit, I would love to just duplicate my day and then tweak what I need to.

Allow custom recipes in premium plus meal planning
I’m new to the meal planning section, but I’m frustrated that I can’t add my own recipes to the choices given for meals.

Print the recipe and add a QR code or barcode
Why is there no possibility to print a receipt and add a QR code or barcode to it? Especially my favorite recipes are easier to cook without always having my phone at hand. And then simply scan the code to record it in the diary.

Disable streaks
Why is there no way to disable streaks? I’m so sick of casually using this app and each streak, I get popups after the first entry. It gets soooo old. I’ve had 180 day streaks before, IDGAF about these little ones

Ability to Favorite a food item
When logging foods, rather than waiting for an item to be considered one of your most frequent items, it would be great to have a way to favorite that item - thanks for the consideration!!

Track "added sugars" like you do sugar
its recommended to keep added sugars to under 25g/day, having the app pick up added sugars from foods logged would be a fantastic help to not have to track this offline

Ability to set the Diary tab as my default "home" screen
Currently, the app seems to default to the Dashboard tab. If I switch to Diary, then go to another app and come back, it won't change. But if I leave MyFitnessPal for a while and come back, it'll open to the Dashboard tab. I'd like to be able to set the Diary tab as my default. I prefer the day view because seeing what I…

Recipe Serving Size Yieldings
Hello, I was wondering if you could tell us exactly how many cups, ounces, etc. are in a serving for each recipe. For example, instead of just saying “serves 4” can you break it down to “each serving yields 1 cup.” I need to know exactly how much of something to eat. TIA!

Nutrients tracked
add oxalates, phosphorus, and GI amounts

Add Capacity to track All micronutrients
Not just calcium and iron and the ones you currently have. If you could put all of the nutrients on there with the RDA’s the app not just about weight management, but also health management so you ensure that you’re hitting all of your and consistently overtime. Add the capacity to read micro nutrient numbers when you scan…

Actually track potassium in foods
I have been placed on a medically necessary low potassium diet. So I was glad to see I could track the amount of potassium in my meals- until I came to lunch. It seems your program recognizes the potassium in coffee with 1%milk, but nothing else! I tried takeout Chinese fried rice- I got a calorie count but it showed 0…

Modern, Intuitive UI/UX
Hey team, I have recently started using myfitnesspal. I am quite new to food tracking apps. In recent weeks I have tried multiple food tracking apps like Yazio, Lifesum and a couple more popular ones. Feature wise I like myfitnesspal better, which is why I chose to stick with it. However, I want to highlight one major area…

Active Calories directly from the HealthKit / App on iOS rather than using steps
I would like to simplify the calorie adjustment, rather than having MFP read steps and specific activities from HealthKit and then do its own calculation I would like if there was an option to simply take the active calories total as is in the Health App for iPhone users. I use different trackers sometimes and MFP doesn't…

Setting measurements for recipes
hello, I noticed that when I create a recipe it only allows me to select serving for measurement. Is there a way to add other measurements to this? Like tablespoons, cups, etc like for other ingredients? I feel like that would track the calories better than a flat serving size that isn’t specified. Thank you!! Katt
-
Tracking more nutrients
Hello - I love your app. However, I also need the ability to track magnesium, vitamin D, and omega 3 intake. As far as I can discern, your app nutrients don’t allow me to do so. Cronometer, for example, does. I really don’t want to use another app but need that capability. Do y’all have a workaround or another way I can…

Vitamin K tracking for Warfarin users
I am sure this has been suggested already but I have recently had to start taking Warfarin following a heart valve replacement, I agree with a lot of the posts here that Vit K is important and you should continue to use, the important thing is being consistent with amounts. For me, being able to track daily/weekly vit k…

Notes
some kind of notes would be a good addition to the Diary logging. For example, today I had to go a meeting far from home, so logging was not easy as I had to eat what was available. So, basically I guessed weights and calories amounts! To have a note on this day about it, would be great to remind me that this was not a…
-
Add to settings the ability to set a default home page
Although I like the Dashboard, I would like the ability to set the app to open to my Diary. I find it a bit annoyingly that every time I open the MyFitnessPal app to log meals and snacks, the app flips right to the dashboard rather than staying open on the diary page.

Weed out the incomplete entries in the Food database especially those missing Potassium content
I've found a lot of the entries in the food database are incomplete but marked with a green badge. Nutrients like potassium are often zero for foods that have a significant amount of it. I really need to watch my potassium and have trouble finding the right green badge entry listing it. I do vote that those not containing…

Carts - Add All Time Option
When I go to Reports → Charts the max time frame I can look at is the past year. As someone who has been losing weight for almost 2 years now this does not give me a full picture of my weight loss. I'd really like to be able to see more than the last year, and dont think it would be that hard to add an All Time option.…

Drag-and-drop in the Food Diary
It would be great to be able to drag items from one meal to another. E.g. I logged a kiwi in the Lunch section, but I ended up having it with my dinner. To do it now, I have to delete kiwi from the Lunch section and add it again to the Dinner section, which is frustrating and takes a lot of time, when it could be solved so…

Net carbs/total carbs
I log meals daily on my Android phone & laptop PC. One gives net carbs & the other gives total carbs. Can this be fixed to show total carbs on both devices? I find I need to go back & re-enter numbers in my blood sugar chart often.

Stop charging me for a subscription I canceled
Here is an idea. How about not charging me for a subscription I canceled already. I have followed the steps to cancel it again, but the subscription no longer shows BECAUSE I CANCELED IT ALREADY! BUT YOU CHARGED ME AGAIN! I WOULD APPRECIATE HAVING SOMEONE CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS. I don't appreciate having my money taken for…

Please add magnesium tracking
I don't want to have to enter in my daily diary to Grok or other AI's to figure out if I'm getting enough Magnesium. A lot of us clearly want to track it! Thanks for reading!

Update (R)/(L) swipes to change tabs instead of dates.
When under Nutrition, swiping Right and Left should take you to Calories (L), Overview (L,L), and Macros (R) instead of the previous (L) and future (R) dates for ease of use.

Meal Planner - editing the schedule
Just want to say I LOVE the Meal Planner!!! This is incredibly helpful to plan out the week not just for me personally to hit my nutrition goals, but to also plan meals for the rest of my family who I also have to feed. The whole process is pretty good, it will ask you preferences for nutritional goal, diet styles,…

Pairing with Nike Training Club
I have been doing multiple workouts on Nike Training Club but they have not been recorded on the app because it CAN’T pair. I am having trouble connecting NTC to apple health too. Can we just a make a direct method?

I wanted to suggest a feature that I believe would enhance the user experience: the ability to customize or…

Net Carb Tracker?
Could net carbs could be incorporated into Macronutrient Goals that we can set?

Poop Tracker
If you're already tracking your food, exercise, and water intake, it's incredibly convenient to also have a record of bowel movements (especially for those who may be trying to track and/or identify IBS triggers or similar issues). This correlative data can show you if/when you're dehydrated, potentially more about your…
