Recipe Serving sizes/amounts and ability to make notes
I really enjoy a lot of features about MyFitnessPal, but it would be so helpful if we could specify serving sizes when we create recipes. I hoped being on the computer compared to the mobile version would allow it but I didn't see where that was available on my computer either. A spot to make notes about recipes would also…

More fasting options
I am sure that fasting should be much more updated. Like adding options like 24h fast or atleast custom fast option. Maybe incorporate fasting phases or estimate calculations of what is happening with your body depending on how many hours you are fasting. In that way updating calorie goals etc etc.

Search Diary for Text String in Foods
It would be nice to have a search box for the diary. The thought is to be able to type in a text string, and have MFP show me (from my diary history) the line items where the food name has that text string in it. I'd like it to have a link to jump to date(s) in the diary where that text string appears. The point would be…

Nutrient Dashboard
Can you make it so you can add more than 3 nutrients in the dashboard?? I want to see the carbs, fats and protein but also want to glance at my sugar, cholesterol and fibre without the extra clicking.

Grams of the way to go
I wish that more of the foods had the option of recording the number of grams that you are using. Some do, but some do not as well. Whenever I can I set the unit of measure to 1 g. That I use my kitchen scale to measure how much I am eating in grams and I record that. This tends to give me a finer level of control.

50% Exercise Calories Add
When I walk calories are added to my daily goal. It has been my experience that it is a wash. The calories added equal 100% of the calories burned. Not a good way to lose weight. I would like to recommend that the AP have a 50% calories add button. That way, I am adding calories from exercise but only half the amount. This…

Maintenance calories
By reading your weight and body fat from Apple health, the app should be able to calculate your current maintenance calories and estimate calories intake to gain or loss weight according to the user objective. Example, your average weight has been 70 kg and you have eaten 2000 calories daily without gaining additional…

Add "Duplicate Recipe" (and Meal)
I often bounce between a couple of recipes that differ in only one component or two. Being able to duplicate an existing recipe then change only those elements would be a time-saver. Same for meals. Thanks for your consideration!

Track Salt
Sodium and salt are not the same thing, people incorrectly write the salt details under sodium. Salt is one of the main things written on packaging colour wheels, and as someone who is now trying to reduce salt intake due to health reasons a salt nutrition section would be ideal.

Easier Viewing
Many of the screens can be viewed in landscape mode, but the main screen won't rotate. I cannot read some of the information because it's all squished into a small area and the writing goes on top of other writing.

Delete Duplicate and Incorrect Foods
The number of duplicate and incorrect entries across all food types is staggering, and the problem continues to build, making it more and more difficult to log food accurately. It would be great if MFP would make moderating and/or cleaning up duplicate and incorrect food entries using an algorithm a priority.

Collapsible ingredient options for recipes/meals while in food diary
I've noticed some suggestions hinting to something similar, for me personally when I'm cooking sometimes I would find it easier if I want to check items in a recipe while in the food diary for a collapsible ingredient option. I.e. to check what's in the ingredients without needing to change anything. Alternatively for the…

Food Database / Ingredient search
I know other people have mentioned it (and you have a need to make money as a company) but having access to barcode scanner as a free user would be extremely helpful and probably cut down on the multiple incorrect and duplicated food entries helping to resolve issues with the current crowdsourced food database and reduce…

separate servings from nutritional information per xx and trace amounts
I've noticed a lot of people tend to put in the serving size as whatever is stated as the nutritional information per weight i.e. 100 grams when a serving is 25 grams so having a separate serving size from what the nutritional informations is stated in i.e. per 100 gram would be useful i.e. being able to input the…

Add a One-click Maintenance Day Option to the food log
Even when working toward my general goal of weight loss, there are days where I switch to maintenance calories (sick, special occasion, plateau, whatever). Most people I know who are working on a weight loss goal do this as part of healthy and sustainable approach. The only way to do this right now is to update the goals…

Frames????
Could you please get some web programmers that 1 actually use the site and see how the ads (which I understand the need for) should be in a non-dynamic frame or load them before everything else, so the webpage does not jump when I go to click. make the advertisers comply with a dimension and not frustrate the users that…

Newsfeed refreshing, ect
When viewing the newsfeed, if you click on a post to see the comments then back out, it refreshes you to the top of your newsfeed so you have to constantly keep scrolling back down to where you left off. The blogs come in one big chunk, making your other newsfeed posts less visible. The comment text box blocks part of the…

Question:
If I scan a bar coded item that is not already in your database, do you, or would it be possible to add that item to your database? Could I add that barcode when I type in the details?

Compare Food Tool
I want to compare two foods in your food database side-by-side to more easily decide which item to purchase or eat, so that I can quickly compare macros and other key nutrients. You definitely do have the largest nutrition database of any of them -- so this is the natural place I want to use to compare foods. You have at…

Reporting Water to Apple Health
Just moved to MFP after using Livestrong MyPlate for 10+ years. I like it so far. One of the things I track in Apple Health, along with nutrients, is water. MyPlate reported this but it does not appear MFP does. There is good exchange for all the nutrients but water. Hopefully it is an easy enhancement to write this to…

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…

Electrolytes

barcode scanning on PC
Hi, Just an idea. I have a barcode scanner connected to my laptop/desktop. This allows me to scan codes in applications. Also, I can use my webcam to scan the barcodes in some applications for processing? Maybe not a bad idea to add it, so it also can be used from the PC/Laptop? Also searching for items based on the…

I weigh myself every day on the Withings smart scale purchased at an Apple store. Would be GREAT if that very elaborate health info got immediately transferred to Fitbit!

Macro Goal Templates
I'm an endurence biker, which means that I can easily burn thousands of calories a day extra. If I know I'm going to do a bike bike ride I'd like to start eating differently throughout the day already with the right Macro's, according to the theory on days that I exercise I should focus more on carbs where on rest days I…

Personal Meal Plan Weekly Prep
My challenge is not planning my meals and snacks ahead of time. I know what I like. I have all my foods and labels to scan etc. There are “reminders” in the tool now for simple things like “lunch” to remind me at “noon”. There are all the fully built out formal meal plans. BUT what would make it so much easier to stay on…

Community/FRs/Msg intergration
The community forums seem separate from my actual app. The ability to send a FR takes several steps. The community is not easily accessible. It should be more streamlined from one function to the next

Email Threads
Instead of one-by-one messages that only show the latest message you are replying to, I think it would be better formatted in a thread, such as an email. Also, being able to click the users profile from the message would be helpful!

Alphabetize Recipes
It would be helpful if the recipes were listed in Alphabetical order on the web version. It is awkward scrolling through all my recipes when trying to find one to reproduce. Or even if they were searchable on the recipes page (I know they are alphabetical on the food diary). And I don’t use the app version.
