Really long post, my meals today
Ok first off I'd like to say I'm 17 and I work at a fast food restaurant, Sonic, so it can be kind of tricky to eat healthy considering the shifts I work which is 11am to 10pm 3x a week and a 4pm to 10pm on Sundays. Usually (before finding this site) I would eat something for breakfast, then around 2-4pm at work I would…

Upping Calories
*This may or may not go under Food & Nutritrion* I remember reading a post here about how some people upped their calories. I see where you can do that if you do it manually, but my question is, how do you figure up your sugar/sodium and others intake? I.E. MFP said that I should eat 1200 calories a day, I am thinking…

Nutrient tracking question
I recall that when I made my profile, MFP popped up with my target calories per day, as well as a very cool looking daily nutritional target. Is there something I'm missing as far as tracking your nutritional intake as compared with that target? I am able to pull up each category individually, e.g. potassium, vitamin c,…
