Ask before enabling some nutrient goals
When I first started using the app, my goal was to reduce my calorie intake. I was hitting my goal but the app was doing its best to put me down with "too much sugar", "too much fat", "too much sodium". I never signed up to these goals! They weren't *my* goals! These days I do also make sure that I get enough protein, the…

MFP Website Update
I was wondering if there were any plans to update the way MFP looks and operates in the web browser and the app? Just feels like it could use a face lift :smile:

Nutrients expressed as percentages
When I look at my daily or weekly nutritional numbers, I have three requests: 1. Reorder/rename the columns to average, remaining, and goal. 2. Use percentage instead of the actual numbers with green, yellow, red to indicate progress. 3. Rather than express the overage amount as a negative number show it as a PLUS to…

Add " Arabic" language to your language list
Therr are hundred of MILLIONS of arabs in the world. Its crazy to think MFP has no arabic language in its system yet. Not all of us arabs can read or talk english. Its the time to think about this seriously. I am happy to take a part in this project if you need someone expert in using this app who is arab.

“Create a food” etc icons too big
The clickable icons, scan QR code, create a food, quick add etc. take up too much real estate on an iPhone, it means you can only see at most 2 items in the food list below (never mind the big adverts making it worse), which makes scrolling through the list much slower. Put them back to the size they used to be please!

Preview Intake
I would find it helpful to be able to “quick preview” a food’s nutritional info without having to use the add food option to know what the impact might be should I choose to eat it.

Recipe Apps
We use Paprika and Recipe Keeper to store our recipes. It’d be great to be able to import from them into MFP recipes.

Headings under daily totals
You list the various headings , calories , carbs etc above the top of the daily meals. I suggest that you copy that heading to the bottom of the daily sheet so that when you look at say the last column ( sugars) that title is displayed below the totals and you don’t have to scroll up to confirm the column title. Simple fix…

Entries with hidden calories and macros
I am trying to switch over to a kind of passive calorie counting, where I would journal during the day and then later log in everything to see if I am hitting my goals in macros, calories etc. if I am over- or undereating. I have only started doing this for 2 days but I see positive changes already in my mindset. (It's…

💡 Archive zombie threads
I’d like to suggest archiving threads that have gone inactive over a year. It cuts down on wasted time responding to people who are inactive or originally posted an eon ago. Archiving allows members to read through old posts but not reply. 🚫 🧟♂️

Grams option on every item
I weigh my food in grams. I hate that I can’t have a simple option to create gram tracking from an already inputted food. At least give me the option to switch it to grams and weigh it

Do you know how to code a search box or how to alphabetize????
Yeah, I know you're sick of hearing it, but man, how I miss Sparkpeople. They knew how to do this right. I have been BEGGING for months for MFP to do simple things like enable me to alphabetize or add a search box to my custom recipes. I have to scroll through page after page after page trying to find a recipe. It's the…

As a MFP user, I would like to see my meal's photos on myfitnesspal.com
My smartphone (iphone) app for MFP displays photos of meals. However I don't see those photos on the website, when viewing those same meals. I would like to be able to see those photos.

Add a Details Section to Recipes
For whatever reason there is a details section when I add new things to the meals section of the app, but not for the recipes section. This is very odd considering people are more likely to need to add notes to recipes they create more so than when grouping foods into a meal. Can a details section (just like what is…

Thread Ignoring
Currently, posters have the option to ignore all posts from specific users. (Or at least the option existed prior to the recent upgrade...does it still?) I recommend an option to allow users to ignore specific threads: the thread thereafter will not appear in the list of available discussions, the user will not be notified…

Link Apps like Home Chef
We use Home Chef every week for over a year now. They send us fresh ingredients and a recipe. Included is also the nutritional information. We do 3 meals a week but you can pick more. It would be super convenient if the information was connected.

Allow us to view pals profiles
Seems simple enough. I click on a pal to go to their profile without getting an application error every single time... Something to think about.. Thanks alot MFP.

Make Quick Links Available at Group Level
Please make the Quick links (e.g. Groups, My Groups, Bookmarks, etc.) available at the group level. For example, if I am in the Biggest Loser Monthly Challenge group I have to enter one of the discussion threads in order to access my Bookmarks.

Feature Parity: Search for food by UPC on Website/App Without scanning barcode
On many occasion, I've found myself at work or home, using the website to log my food. Nine times out of ten, it's easy, straightforward, but sometimes, especially with community-powered databases, I might find a bunch of variations on a specific food. On the app, I know I can scan a barcode without any issue whatsoever.…

Better visibility of 'post under review' notices
On mobiles the notice for a post being delayed until it has been reviewed is not very noticeable. It is small and appears at the bottom of the screen. Making it more visible (like move to top or red color or something else to provide high contrast) will help it be noticed by posting users, and cut down on duplicate posts…

Search titles only?
Ever since the update, I can't figure out how to properly search for things. If I want to search for say, cornbread, but only want to search in subject lines/titles, how do I do it? The old system let you check the box for just that, but the new one seems to search across the board. Is there no way, or an I just dumb (you…

Stretching
I've started a personalized exercise routine that includes cardio, strength and stretching. I can track the first 2 easily, but MFP has no stretching section (like yoga). I have to use Notes. I appreciate stretching isn't a calorie burner but it's an important part of a rounded routine. Good strength training includes a…

Tiny bugs noted in the new forums
Just thought this could be a place for people to list small bugs noticed in the new forums. Not major issues, but little things. For instance, in the iOS app, the “Notification Preferences” page is typed quite large and doesn’t fit on one screen, could be typed smaller so it isn’t necessary to slide over to the tick-boxes.

Poster's name cut off in first new response
Would it be possible to include the first new responder's name along with their post when viewing new responses? Right now the first "new response" has the poster's name cut off so I have to scroll up to see who posted it.

Allow members who participate in a Challenge Group to edit their posts at any time
Our group is a team competition and one part of it has each member track their weight over a 9 week period. Group leaders then transfer this info to a spreadsheet. It would be a lot easier if each member could edit their weight post each week without having to copy & paste to a new thread (which is the only way our leaders…

Discussion Search Option
Previously there was the capability to search within a discussion and with the update that capability is gone. In Challenge Discussions we frequently copy, add to the previous status and repost to show our progress. Being able to search back for the previous status is essential and now trying to go back through a busy…

Why not possible to register low carb diets like 2:5 or 1:1 or a day of fast ?
There are diets that are founded in research and science but if you try to register f.ex. one day of fast, myfitnesspal raises their big brother/mother finger and tells you: "You are not eating enough" I have even found, with my sedentary lifestyle I gain weight if I stick to 1200 calories a day, as set as min. by…

Reactions
Like many others, I read a LOT here. While "like," "hug," and "disagree" are helpful sometimes, there are two emojis/expressions missing that would so much more accurately convey my feeling/reaction: "Funny" and "Agree." Very often, when reading, I either laugh or think to myself "Yeah, I agree," but the only option is…

Show date thread was started (restore this feature from the old boards)
Before the update, the boards would show both the user that started the thread and the most recent comment, both dated/timestamped. Now, it still shows those usernames, but only the most recent comment has the timestamp. It's common on several boards to see users asking the same questions over and over and over (how do I…

Restore top bar navigation aligned to MFP Home
The new layout essentially extracts Community out of MFP. I can't toggle between Community back to my Food Diary and have to have separate browser tabs to check community and update my food diary (computer access). Would prefer if top bar navigation (Home, Food, Exercise, Reports) was retained when user is in Community.
