Option to Pin / Sticky foods in the 'add food' menu
It's frustrating as hell to scroll through a list of individual ingredients to find the coffee I have every morning. Even the "frequent" menu contains entries I haven't used in weeks. If there was a 'pin' option I could lock my daily coffee, my protein shake etc to the top of the list.

Make it easy to search past meals for particular foods
I sometimes want to either find a particular food that I ate before because I remember the category but not the brand. If I put the category in the search bar, I get a very unhelpful list when I'm looking for the particular food that I ate before. I should be able to pull up a list of the meals in which I ate the item I'm…

Bring back container serving size
There was a container serving size before. For example, 600 calories per bag/can/tray. It was just the total calories in a container of food. This was helpful when you do meal prep and use half a bag or can for each meal. You can just put 1/2 container instead of calculating the serving size separately.

Close old/dead threads
Just saw a thread resurrected from 12 years ago. I think it's great to store old threads for search purposes, but please turn off commenting after a set length of time. If a thread hasn't seen in action for a year, turn off commenting. People create new threads with the same topics over and over anyway. Heck, I'm probably…

Recommend food to eat next based on daily calorie budget, nutrition goals, time of day, etc
Recommend foods to eat next based on several factors: - Calorie budget. How many calories have I consumed so far today and how many remain to stay within my calorie goal? - Time of day. More carbs in the morning, more protein for dinner, etc. - Nutrition goals. What am I lacking today? What am I close to having too much…

Plan Out Day & Check Off When Eaten
I'm sure I'm not the first to request this. A feature that allows me to plan out my day so I know exactly what to eat and I can check it off when eaten. Currently, I can plan out all the food I'm going to eat for the day, but I can't check it off once I've eaten it. I've used this feature in one other app (Vision PT app)…

Total, Natural, & Added Sugar
The reason I joined this site was to watch my glucose via carbs and sugar, but the food tracker doesn't distinguish between types of sugar. The way things are, I can be super strict about my sugar intake, but having an orange and an apple in a day will still read on the tracker in the negatives, as if I ate dessert all…

Why did I eat
Add a way to track "why did I eat this meal" with options like: Hunger Stress Social Craving Bored Maybe we could put our own values - but then could graph or report in this... so you can see the patterns of why and help tackle the ones that sabotage

Sodium / Salt errors
Foods will list Salt but not sodium. Can you list somewhere that Sodium is 40% of a salt value? Users/creators need to enter the correct values to be helpful to other users otherwise it is pointless. 1. Too many foods entered into the diary have 0mg for sodium because the creator doesn't know the relationship 2. Too many…

Exercise Sets
In the Exercise section, it would be nice to batch exercises together like Meals under food. When we do a program with multiple strength training exercises, it's a pain to add each one every time. (9 in my case) I could create a general title indicating that but it gives no information about what I'm actually doing. Also,…

Report a Duplicate Food Without Listing All Nutritional Data
Reporting food data is fantastic to help clean up the database, but a lot of the foods that I see aren't accurate need to be combined with another verified food rather than just get their data updated. Is there a possibility to Report a Duplicate, and then search and select the food that the entry should be combined with?

Minus Food for modifications
It would be helpful if we could use a "Negative" or "Minus" Calorie function from when we make modifications to food. For Example. Let say I order a Spaghetti Bolognaise from an Italian restaurant, however I ordered it without cheese. I can see on their website the total calories in the spaghetti including the cheese, and…

Acknowledge intermittent & extended fasting
Currently how MFP is configured, if we don't consume anything over a 24hr fast, when we submit our day we get a warning that we are not eating enough food. With all the reasons etc on why we are being bad. I really want to keep using the app to record my daily water intake. There are fasting protocols that call for only an…

Pull weight data from iPhone Health app
I attempted to link MyFitnessPal to my VeSync app, but it’s not working. If MyFitnessPal could pull weight data directly from Apple’s Health app (like it pulls steps data), the link to my digital scale (and its malfunction) wouldn’t matter. It could also pull BMI, body fat percent, and other related data.

Indicate which contacts I’ve already sent friend requests to
After sending friend requests, the button on that contact says “Sent”, but if you leave that page and go back to it, the app doesn’t remember which friends you’ve already sent requests to. Update the app to remember who the user sent friend requests to. Consider also placing that data under the Requests tab, so that it…

Nutrients Remaining Bar: add target macro and cals
A small bother on the helpful Android Diary bar for remaining macro grams and calories is that there's no display of the target totals I'm trying to meet - don't always remember especially after modifying them, so have to click to an empty page or Goals to see. Could be in different type or color e.g. "Protein 40g of 160g"…

Affiliate Programs for Private medical or fitness professionals
With Keto or whatever nutrition diet tracking you may be working on, often the professionals overseeing this recommend MyFitnessPal. Others recommend others. Why not create an affiliate link for fitness and health professionals to get a little back for sending so many your way.

Add body fat % to weight
It would be good if you could add body fat % to weight for several reasons. Most home scales do fat % now. A lot of fitness and gym goers use this app for comps and it’s another metric that would be useful as weight alone isn’t doesn’t aways inform. Lastly, for people trying to reduce body fat but can only track weight…

Sharing recipes with friends
I am the main cook in the family. Both my husband and I are trying to loose weight and so I am adapting recipes to be lower calories. I create them in my profile and then I add my portion, he then has to copy it across as a meal and adjust for his portion. It's clumsy. It would be much easier if my friends were able to…

Help in finding the recipes that we have entered
It would be very useful if there was a way to keyword search just my own recipes. The only way I know how to find a specific recipe is to scroll, scroll, scroll, which is tedious. It would also be useful if, when entering a food, our own recipes would appear in a different color print or some other way to distinguish them…

Calorie Density Indicator
Did you ever think of adding a calorie density indicator? Calorie density was developed by Barbara Rolls, PhD. She called it Volumetrics and wrote a book by the same name. Its basic assumption is that a nutrient-dense, calorie-dilute lifestyle will lead to healthy, permanent weight loss. This approach recommends consuming…

Weekly Adjustable Calorie Goal
I saw in Lose It app that they allow for users to adjust their daily calorie allowance. Eat less on some days and more on others, for example have less on weekdays and a bit more on weekends. This also could be used for planning for a meal out or a party and would be very useful feature, I think. Sometimes, when you go…
