Discontinued products you're still mad about
I recently learned that Honest Tea was discontinued. I was really craving it yesterday and couldn't find it at the store, I looked it up, and sure enough, stupid Coca-Cola decided to end the product line because they had "too many iced tea lines." The founders of Honest Tea started a new company, Just Ice Tea, that is…

Question about Recomp and Diet
Hi everyone, I’m onto my 4th week of body recomp and I’m honestly seeing very minimal results. Im pretty disappointed to be honest. Anyway, my question is: every body recomp YouTube video and website talks about figuring out your daily calories then subtracting 20% to work out how many calories you need a day to stay…

Calories in rice

fasting and calories
I hope I can explain this, it's in my mind, but not sure I can convey it. LOL (52F) "1200" calories seems to be some number I hear alot in the diet world, it's kind of a go-to number that I've heard for years when dieting or trying to lose weight. But, many people will say that 1200 calories is too low (in general) and…

Join the #MFPSugarSwap challenge for Heart Month this February!
Globally, people want to cut the cubes, slash the syrups, and forgo the granules, as sugar tops the list of must-ditch foods this year. According to our new research, more than half of people are actively trying to reduce their sugar consumption. Despite our best intentions, the average person is consuming more than double…

Any other pescatarians?!
Hello! New member here. Wanted to start a discussion about struggles in getting enough protein as a pescatarian. I primarily eat plant-based with some seafood. Main sources of protein right now are tofu, beans, lentils, chia seeds, and vegan protein shakes (my filler). Any other protein recommendations I’m missing or…

Need more food ideas
I’ve been using MFP for about two months now and I’ve been really struggling to consistently eat enough because I don’t have a lot of time to prepare food and I also have a couple food allergies so it cuts down on the foods that I can eat which gives me less options. I need more protein in my diet, I’m 5’6.5 and weigh…

So easy to overeat!
It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to overeat. Take this inexpensive trail mix bought at a gas station mini mart. For $3, it contains more than a days worth of calories for someone like me. (I bought it just for that reason for a long trip by air, but other food choices became available.) Yes, I could easily eat…

I have been trying to do keto and will stick to a strict keto for several weeks and my ketones on my blood reader show I never reach ketosis. I wanting to try just a low carb diet (50g carbs) but I do not know how many…

Best Ice Cream Alternative
Currently I am obsessed with taking a tablespoon of coco powder and mixing it into a low-sugar yogurt. This is under 200 calories and has a decent amount of protein. It is also very thick and creamy. As someone who refuses to pay $$$ for halo top, I vastly prefer this hack. You're welcome! <3

Autoimmune diet - what is it?
Side-tread for not wanting to steal a tread from someone else. TO is eating an autoimmune diet for possibly autoimmune arthritis and avoiding gluten, dairy and sugar. I'm just assuming TO is in the US, but not sure. This is quite the opposite to what doctors recommended my central European mom, and my sister for autoimmune…

Throat gets sore after drinking protein shake
For some reason, whenever I drink plant-based protein/nutrition shakes, like Vega and others, my throat gets sore afterward (even ones without artificial sweeteners). I use a shaker, so it's still kind of grainy when I drink it. Is this an allergic reaction, or is it due to the graininess? It goes away after a few hours.

MyFitnessPal
I have used this app for a very long time and to my dismay you started charging for the meal scan feature. In my opinion, this is a feature is needed for meal accuracy and should be included for basic membership like it was in the past. I feel forced to either purchase premium or leave the app. Unfortunately, I am going to…

Fizz Stick Replacement
Hi all, this is NOT an MLM add before anyone gets excited! I’m sure many of you know about Arbonne’s Fizz Sticks, they’re like a water supplement/enhancer with citric acid (the fizz), flavourings, and some caffeine. Back when I was weak-spined and didn’t say no to my poor brainwashed MLM selling friend, I used to enjoy…

Ignore Weight-loss forecast
The "in 5 weeks time, you should weigh XXX" message is simply rubbish and unnecessarily time-consuming. I have diligently completed food consumption and exercise details most days and have noted the estimated weight loss in 5 weeks time with some scepticism. I attend a local gym maybe 5 times a week and today went on the…

Does any body lower there daily calorie goals?
Calculated automatically My base goal for calories was 2190, I think this is too much to meet my goal of losing 16 lb in 60 days, I am 200 right now adjusted this to make it 1600 as I feel sure that will be enough calories for me per day. It was easy to do and I was wondering if anyone else did this. I lost .6 lb in 2…

Best way to log Active Energy and Exercise Totals
I am a Premium subscriber and MFP is recommending a kilojoule intake of 10,000KJ per day, which sounds about right for my height and goals. Apple Health tallies my Active Energy but only part of that figure (the KJs I specifically log as exercise) is synced with MFP. In other words, my Active Energy might be 4000KJ but the…
