Missing meal data in export
I noticed over the last week or so that meal items have been dropping out of my data exports. It seems to be completely hit and miss, some days I get no dinner data. Even if I move the items from Dinner to Lunch and try to re-export the data it doesn't show in the CSV file. I've submitted a support ticket but never heard…

Who says dieting can be boring???
When I first tried losing weight I really hated it, it felt like a complete punishment. “You cant have food until you’ve lost weight!” is what I told myself, so I ate a consistent diet of Chicken Salads, Chicken Breasts and greens for months; and I detested it. Well, 60lbs+ lost and my perspective has completely changed.…

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…

Mediterranean Diet - Before &Afters?
Hi there, I’ve recently started the Med diet, I’ve quit Diet Coke and am drinking lots of water. I’m down 8 lbs in a week and it’s obviously water weight and inflammation but that’s okay- it’s good to feel less bloated, for my energy to be higher and my stomach to feel a bit better. I have IBS and I’ve seen the start of…

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…

Why did you use mfp?
I’ve just ordered a new Fitbit and decided I wanted some new tracking features. I spent about six hours today looking at different tracking sites and came to the conclusion that MFP was the best option for now, after all. What a waste of time. Most of the sites had locked access to the Fitbit app behind a paywall. I wanted…
