Business owners close bakery after changing eating habits
I’m fascinated by this story of a Canadian couple who ran a successful chain of bake shops for a dozen years but felt compelled to shut down because they no longer want to promote unhealthy eating habits. (The story includes some audio that people can probably listen to even if you’re not in Canada.)…

Low Protein Diet
I'm wondering if any one else is being asked to go on a low protein diet. I found out last week that I have the early stages of Kidney Disease. This can be handled by nutrition, but I'm having a hard time getting any good low protein recipes. I've ordered a cookbook, but I'd like to know if anyone has any tips for me.…

Conflicting calories with Steak
So Im trying to work out calories of a steak for dinner. I have a 208g raw beef Fillet Steak. MFP says 291calories "Beef Fillet Steak, Raw, Lean" ✅ Then I cooked the steak and thought I'd weigh and see how much cooked. The same steak now weighs 114g. MFP says 369 calories for "Fillet Steak"✅ (Im guessing this option is…

MFP did something odd to my account today
Well, MFP did something very odd today. A long time ago, I changed the settings for what I call my meals. Well, I went to log something, and it had reverted to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Uh... And that also meant that some of the data were now hidden. I set it back, but have no idea what happened. If you have…

What should my target daily calories be?
The app set my daily target at 2,800 calories based on the information I filled out during the onboarding process. I’m not sure if it is correct for my situation so wanted to see what others suggested or general thoughts.

Night Shift
Hey guys! I need some advice as a night shift nurse. I know many of y’all work the graveyard shift and I work from 7pm-7am. And I get hungry at midnight and after usually. How can I keep the calories low so it doesn’t add up too much as I go home and have my regular 3 meals? Do they count for the previous day? Does anyone…

Stir Fry

What's going on with 'recent' and 'frequent' foods?
Something's really wrong there. My diary doesn't export to Fitbit properly anymore for one, for two... all the 'recent' foods show things I haven't eaten in days, and the apple I've been eating 5x a week and has been on top of the frequent list for years is just gone. I'm not sure what has changed since Thursday but it's…

Can this app count fruits and vegetables?

I can't update nutritional information
I can't update nutritional information anymore. What's happening? I get an error message every time I try. This has been happening for two months now. I need to update as people don't understand that salt needs to be converted to sodium and will list salt as 0 because they don't understand how to convert or will enter the…

You need not deprive yourself over the holidays
Instead of spending time remaking every Thanksgiving dish to be “diet friendly “ just eat less. A spoonful of potatoes is more satisfying than mashed cauliflower and you don’t feel deprived. A spoonful of dressing with a drizzle of gravy. Pie? A couple bites of pie and skip the crust or share a slice of pie with someone.…

Cranberries and traditional Thanksgiving.
Although we are neither diabetic nor pre diabetic, we’ve watched our added sugar. I really like cranberries. This year as an experiment this year I strew raw cranberries in my dressing, mirepoix and a steamed green bean salad. It worked. The other food present dampens the sourness of the cranberry. We can eat our favorites…
