Vegetarians and Protein
I have started working with a personal trainer. (I'm in maintenance now but really need to recomp.) She suggested that I have 100g of protein each day. I told her that's what MFP has suggested, too, but it's really hard for me to achieve that as a vegetarian. I find myself adding protein powder to everything and still fall…

Creating a Recipe
I absolutely hate the new way the MFP has to create a recipe so I'm trying to use the old calculator that's provided. After successfully entering all ingredients, I tried to "save" it, but there was no "save" button or any way to save the recipe that I could find. Anyone else have this problem?

Potassium Is one of the most important minerals in the body, and yet many of the foods on your app do not include the potassium count; so I am having to track potassium manually on my phone notepad.

Paprika integration
Like Strava, Wahoo Fitness, Garmin and other apps on the exercise side, is anyone aware of an objection to, or compelling business reason against MFP integration to the recipe app Paprika? Others have asked, but I’ve not seen any MFP responses. Could be lack of sufficient Paprika users who also use MFP. My reason for…

I usually measure my raw chicken and then measure it again after it’s cooked. But I just bought a grilled chicken steak and I have no idea how to input it into my diary. It’s cooked weight is 123 grams but how much would it weigh raw? I always stress out when I decide to eat precooked food because I know I’m going to have…

Oats & Phytic Acid ?
When I was googling overnight oats, I stumbled upon an article about why we shouldn't eat raw oats. I was curious, so I clicked on it. The writer quoted Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions "seven hours of soaking in warm acidulated water will neutralize a large portion of phytic acid in grains.". There is another artice…

Correcting Database
Hi fellow MFPers I've seen lots of posts about database inaccuracies and I am sure this has been asked before but I haven't seen a clear answer.

Servings Per Container on food labels
Are they really accurate? I'm not talking about serving size... i'm talking strictly the amount of servings it claims to have.

Estimate your total calories for an unlogged item
Play along if you want. I never log mustard but I use it almost each day. So I decided to weigh what I believe is a typical amount that I would use. There will obviously be some days I didn't have any, although they would be rare, and some days I would have more. I am heavy-handed with it so 5 servings at 3 calories per…
