Just delete the user entered database of food, and put it out of its misery.
It is frustrating at best, and useless at worst. You can type in a product name, get 100 variations, and every single one of them is wrong. You find one that at least has the right calories, use that, and the macros are wrong. So then you end up manually entering your new variation of the food anyway, adding to the mess…

"Frequent" and "Recent" should save any and all foods and the system should auto-retire items
When a user goes to "Add Food" on the website, there is a default tab, "Recent" and another option "Frequent." I notice that some foods will never show up in the list. For instance, I use honey almost every day, not a lot, but just a drizzle. I always log it accurately but "honey" never shows up in my "Recent" or…

Return progress section to app
Most recent iOS app update (the one that added the dashboard) removed the progress section of the app. The section that tracked your weightloss with graphs and tables. You know, a really useful part of the app? Could it be brought back?
-
Correct the glitch that affects friends and newsfeed
New friends’ updates aren’t being included on the individual newsfeed on iOS app, and deleted friends’ updates are showing up on the newsfeed even though they don’t show up on my friend list anymore. Could MFP look into the newsfeed and the friends add/ unfriend options? They aren’t working properly. Thanks.

Quick access to adding food to diary
I'd like to see either a quick link on the dashboard to add food, or the ability to change the default screen when opening to the diary, rather than the dashboard. the vast majority of times I open the app, I am doing so to log some food that I have consumed, rather than just generally checking my overall progress. If I…
-
Supplement Section in Diary
Similar to the Snacks and Water section, I think a Supplements section would be great to track all the supplements and vitamins we take.
-
Supplement Tracking
It would be awesome if I could track supplements (vitamins/minerals.) Maybe even scan the barcodes. If micronutrients were added then these values would be very helpful to show where you may want to supplement.
-
Weekly/Monthly all time calories spread.
I first discovered this feature on another calorie counting app. It allowed you to see a large spread of your calorie intake on one page going back weeks. Here you must click the arrow to see the previous days which is time consuming and doesn't allow you to immediately see trends.
-
Nutrition label scanner
Are use a prepared meal plan for weight loss. And none of the foods are logged in your database. I don’t have a problem adding these manually, but it would be so much easier if I could scan the nutrition label to get all of the nutrition information logged in.
-
Add time stamps to foods in my diary
I’m on a high protein diet for resistance training, which requires that I eat at least 80g of protein per day. Because the body can not absorb more than 20g of protein per meal, I need to eat these of over the course of at least 4 meals, spaced at least 2 hours apart. I love the protein tracking feature in MFP! However,…
-
Additional functions for a whole meal
You can Save Meal and Copy Meal. Please add "Delete Meal" or "Clear Meal" for if you accidentally Copy Meal to the wrong day (right now, we have to delete each component one at a time) and a "Move Meal" in case you enter everything in Lunch and want to move it to Dinner. Thank you!
-
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.
-
Closing out the day with less than 1200 calories
Please allow us to close out the day with less than 1200 calories. I calculated my TDEE, and because of my height( and probably age 🙃) my TDEE is low. I'm trying to stay in a 500 calorie deficit a day to loose a pound a week. That puts me at 1000 calories.

Easy way to add same items every day
Is there an easy way to add the same thing without having to do it every day? For example, I eat 1 banana,1 apple, and 1 orange every day and add this in the snacks section. Everyfay I have to add these items, is there any way to add these so it does it automatically rather than having to add the same items every day?

Page layout all wrong in Chrome browser
@Betty, @Nova, @durden I use the Google Chrome browser. In the Google Chrome browser, the sidebar content appears not to the right but at the very bottom of the page. The first image below is an example of what I see in Microsoft Edge browser. The sidebar to the right contains Welcome!, Quick Links, Categories... This next…
-
Spoiler support for media links
In the old interface I could put the [spoiler][/spoiler] tags around a media URL or pasted image and it would be inside a spoiler so that display of the media/image could be toggled on/off. I used this occasionally, and noted that a number of other users did as well. The new interface provides a spoiler paragraph type, but…
-
Bring back "woo"
There needs to be a way to disagree with people in the forums. The smugness is overwhelming sometimes. Alternatively, let us silence people.
-
Food/calories logging from pics
In 2015, Google once tried to analyse photos of food and determine the calories contained in the food depicted. The app was called "Im2Calories". Unfortunately, there was never a public product. Would be also great to have this functionality in MFP. AI has continued to develop...
-
Add "Time Eaten" to Food Logging
I would like to suggest adding an option to include 'Time Eaten' when logging food for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner or snacks. Over time, tracking would reveal good or bad habits. Recording time eaten would also be helpful for people who do IF.
-
Enhance community boards
It's seems like it could be more user friendly. I think if the layout was different, it may encourage more use. I can't figure out how to friend someone either.
-
delete meal
Add the feature to delete a meal (delete all entries under a meal). It is cumbersome to hold down on each entry under a meal and select delete for each. It would be easier to press the three dots symbol (...) and press an option to delete meal.
-
Bariatric Macro Tracking and feedback fixes
Hi - it would be GREAT if there were a workflow set up for bariatric post-op users. Features: - Let me set goals and calculations that apply for those of us who have had weight loss surgery (basically Protein and fluid intake, Supplements - Bariatric multi, Calcium, Iron) - Turn OFF the feature that scolds you for low…

Upload Penzey's Spices Catalog into Food Database
Recently, I suggested that MyFitnessPal upload the Savory Spice Shop product catalog into the food database. Savory Spice Shop (www.savoryspiceshop.com) is a family-owned and run Denver-based spice business with 29 locations nationwide. Penzey's Spices www.penzeys.com is another family-run competitor with stores…

Why did you take away weight progress monitoring????
I must tell you how disappointed and unhappy I am with the "new look" My Fitness Pal app. The worst thing for me is that you've taken away my ability to log in my weight on a daily basis. I used the app to help me lose 40 pounds about 10 years ago and to monitor my weight since then. Now I've lost the ability to do that…
-
'Save As' for recipe creation
I like to have multiple versions of the recipe's I create. For example, same recipe except for a different meat. It would be great to be able to create recipe's by saving and editing an existing recipe rather than having to create from scratch.
-
Scales-Countdown
I loved the icon of the scales with kg countdown. I can't see it after the last update. That was an encouraging tool. Bring it back, please.
-
my recipes serving size
when adding my own recipes, it ask how many servings. this is usually something i can't answer. would there be a way to add a serving size that calculates nutrition. exp. my meatloaf, instead of serving 10 it would be helpful if a 3oz. option was available. exp. my potato salad, instead of serving 5 it would be helpful if…
-
Time Tracking
I'm probably anal, but I'd like to see tracking what time of day food intake occurs. I think this would be helpful.
-
Name for each Quick Add
Hello everyone, I have been using this app for about a year. And scanning those barcodes is very helpful. But sometimes I have food without barcode on it (because I have thrown it away etc). So I Google it up and see how much calories it has, Quick add is pretty easy but there is a problem! If I use it very often and at…
-
Bring back and improve the confetti
On the phone app, there used to be a lovely bit of confetti if I entered a lower weight at check-in. What happened to this? Please consider reviving this feature, and make it so that you can set whether confetti goes off for gaining or for losing weight (assuming that some folks want to gain weight, though it seems likely…
