Have You Tried an Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan? Has It Helped?
Have any of you tried an anti-inflammatory diet plan? Not a weight loss diet, but tailoring your diet to reduce inflammation and joint pain? Did it work? What did you do? When did you see results? Has it helped on an on-going basis? I’m planning on consulting with my hospital affiliated gym’s RD when she returns. She’s…

Why Aspartame Isn't Scary
Hey everyone. I've seen my fair share of posts on the forums with regards to the dangers of aspartame and how it is a poison or a toxin or a carcinogen. Wanted to clear some things up about aspartame if I could just to explain why I personally believe there is absolutely no reason to fear aspartame. What is aspartame? For…

A Week of Fiber-Rich Meals as a Runner: Not! Deplorable advice
I just looked at the article entitled, "A Week of Fiber-Rich Meals as a Runner." I was shocked that this is promoted as a worthy week of eating. Every breakfast included instant oatmeal, redeemed by blueberries and a banana. The rest of the meals also included a disturbing amount of ultraprocessed food. They included subs…

Food group logging
Hi, What do the numbers mean on my food group log? They make no sense, and there's no explanation anywhere. For instance, I apparently logged 3 vegetables last week. I had 200 grams of sprouts with dinner everyday, so I don't understand why it says 3. I had three good sources of protein everyday, but MFP has logged 7 Can…

Micronutrients are not being tracked!
Hi everyone, So far I'm very please with the MFP app and it has helped me a lot since I started using it. There's only one major issue I have. Some micronutrients are not being tracked! I'm talking about especially Potassium, Calcium and Iron. I'm everyday way below the limit. And I'm positive those are not the real…

Favourite snacks?
Looking for more snack ideas. In the 100-300 cal range. High protein would be great but not necessary. Preferably something quick and easy (store bought or just take a couple mins to throw together), or something I can make a batch of and freeze. I’ve been stuck on protein bars, lunchables, popcorn, fruit, yogurt/smoothie.…

Day 3
Day 3 I followed the guidelines today, which included eating only whole foods—things that originate from the ground or have had a mother—and drinking half my weight in water. Challenges: Cravings: I missed packaged snacks like granola bars and chips since they were so convenient. Being hungry between meals made it…

I prepared a salad for lunch that had purple cabbage, kale, maize, carrots, and red bell peppers. The supper consisted of roasted orange sweet potatoes, green broccoli, red tomatoes,…

What are some tips you would have for someone switching to a pescatarian diet?
I have always struggled with eating enough protein and grew up not really paying attention to the quality of the food that I was eating. I have decided to switch from an omnivore diet to a pescatarian diet due to finding out the benefits of seafood and how it seems more sustainable for me than being a vegetarian. I would…

Getting recommended foods based on macros.
I was previously using noom where foods fell into categories (red, yellow, green) and calorie goals were broken up by category. You could also easily see types of food in each category. Obviously MFP is more advanced and tracks goals by more detailed things, like fat, protein, and carbs. And foods contribute to all…

Sodium
I heard that if you drink a glass of water directly after eating a high- sodium food, that it will reduce the amount of sodium in your blood. Can a nutritionist confirm this?

Need to be able to enter quantity of the food or weight
The main frustrating thing I find with this app is best illustrated with an example. Take a packet of polos. I've scanned the barcode and have got my polos and then I have to enter a serving size which defaults to 1 packet. Now I want to enter one polo, so I find myself having to divide the serving size by 21 polos in a…

For the love of Produce...
I’ve been a produce *kitten* for years and years. My ‘Apple thing’ is notorious among friends and family. That’s the one enduring phase (current obsessions are Koru, Pacific Rose, and HoneyBee apples)- in addition to my squash fixation (kabocha, mostly, but a well roasted spaghetti squash also makes me swoon.) I love…
