I would like to have the ability to copy ingredients and move them to different recipes
Similar to how I can copy foods to different days, I would like this feature with recipes. I often am experimenting with slight variations on recipes, and when it involves several ingredients that change slightly every time, having to go in and find the specific ingredient and enter the quantity time and time again can get…

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…

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…

Sorting of search results for ingredients to be added in recipe
Please add sorting option by name, by calorie, or by created/updated date after searching for an ingredient to be added in a recipe. Alternatively, add user option to either add ingredients from personally created/added food or through search from ingredients added by other users. This suggested feature is not yet in…

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…

Inviting Fast food places & Restaurants
I have made this profile, just to make our menu from "Flip The Burger". I think it should be made easier for companies and places to make their menus in here. That would make it much easier for people to eat out, and not feel bad about not tracking the calories.

Change advertisements to be fixed-height even if not yet loaded
This is more of a technical suggestion on the UI side of things, but for those of us who use MFP for free, it would be nice having dedicated ad space that doesn't make the main page content jump around. Oftentimes I'll be about to click on something, and it jumps down (or up) because an advertisement - either the smaller,…

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…

💡- 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…

Water!
It’s disappointing that there’s no option to set a water goal and that water cannot be added to the dashboard. This is a significant gap compared to other high-end tracking apps. I’m now reconsidering my recent switch to MyFitness Pal and thinking about returning to my previous app because of this.

Splitting Added Sugar out from Sugar counts
I am tracking on MFP, and find the macro tracking usually useful. However, my diet is high in fruits and vegetables that have a pretty high sugar count. So I am consistently warned that I go over my daily sugar intake, then recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables. It would be really helpful if the app could…

New web home page
I like the new home page for myfitnesspal but amount of weight lost is no longer displayed. Can you add it back to the home page?

Magnesium
Is it possible to add Magnesium as an item to track?

Shopping list feature
I think it would be great to have a shopping list feature where we can add in our favorite recipes and it itemizes our ingredients, taking the thinking out of grocery shopping.

News Feed
I think someone might have already mentioned it, but it would be nice to include pictures in our news feed posts. In all honesty, I’ve been using WW and while I like it, I’m focusing on calories rather than points at the moment. But I really like their Connect. It’s a bit like instagram in a way. Right now, I think all we…

Push Notifications for Group Activity
I have contacted MFP for support for our groups requesting the option to have push notifications of member comments but I have not submitted the request here so other MFP members can see it. We already have push notifications for messages & likes to activities and profile posts as well as the option to turn them on or off,…

My Recipe Box Display
Can we PLEASE have a way of sorting items in My Recipe Box. Either Default or by Name would be fine. As it is now, the default is by most recently added. I can't imagine this would be very difficult to do. Thanks for considering my suggestion.

IBS & Stool Tracker
This could be a feature where you log your stomach pain and stool consistency/composition (I know this is disgusting but it’s just something that we need to keep track of). It could be on scales from 1-10 or it could be image-based (like emojis showing different levels of discomfort). The latter feature would also be…

Share (Text) food and meals to friends
My wife just got the 30 day trial for MFT and it is frustrating for her trying to get started, finding all the right foods, etc. I have been using it since February and find it easy. To help encourage people to share and make it easier to use, I would LOVE to see a feature where I could go to my Diary and SHARE either a…

Show Net Carbs on Desktop App, Under Nutrition Macros
Sometimes, it's easier to add food to the diary using a laptop, but I have to go to my phone to see accurate nutrition macros breakdown. The phone app reports percentage of net carbs, the desktop app shows percentage of total carbs. I'd like to see consistent reporting between the apps.
-
Manual glucose entry
I was so delighted to see the announcement that glucose monitoring will now be included alongside nutrition tracking. But I would love to see the option of manually entering this as part of the diary - I have no plans to move to a continuous monitor because I swim a lot and this brand at least of continuous readers is not…

would like to enter minerals and trace elements
I would like more of these: + Want more vitamins, minerals (such as magnesium, ...) and trace elements to track - in mg so you can set your own individual nutrient goals, but not in % + List salt and sodium separately (they are not the same and often there is only salt listet) + Being able to enter medication would also be…
-
More meals
Even paid members are only currently allowed a limited amount of meals. I would like to see the ability to add as many meals as you want without having to blend it with other meals. For example on an average day I eat 9 smaller meals plus take supplements, so I wish I could have 10 separate meals on the app.

Search Filters for Food Logging Database
I have been an intermittent member since 2017 and feel the biggest bugbear that drives me to fall off the wagon is the lack of ease with daily food logging. Firstly I’d like to say - this is not just MFP daily food logging is frustrating and time consuming. MFP has come along way since I first started using it, I…

Micronutrients
It would be great if the micronutrients were displayed along with the macronutrients. This would really help with managing deficiencies or excesses.

Show items in grams only (have the choice)
I've been tracking religiously for over 2 years now but the ONE thing that irritates the hell out of me is the MFP setting where most items show as ounces first - if they show as grams at all but that's another story. Does anyone know if I can default the search results to show items in grams only? I don't mean record it…

Magnesium tracking
Is there any way to add magnesium tracking as a nutrient option? In apple health, there is an entry position for it, but MyFitnessPal doesn’t populate.
-
Put salt instead of sodium
Because 99% of the foods have indicated the salt and not the sodium it should be useful to substitute it with the salt. A lot of foods have in the sodium the grams of the salt that is absolutely a mistake.

Save Favorite Foods
I love tracking my food intake with MyFitnessPal. But there should be a way to save favorite foods/condiments. I'm glad there's a section to save meal combinations, but I tend to not put in single items (say like, for me, I use Hienz Ketchup No Salt Added, due to me watching carbs and having diabetes). But there are so…
