Unable to log entries for previous days
I’ve been getting back into the habit of tracking my food, but I missed a few entries yesterday. When I tried to go back and log the rest of my food, the app added them to the current day instead. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to record past entries for the correct day. Has anyone ever experienced this before, and have…

Does anyone here do them? I am interested in the ones you just microwave - no cooking. Any suggestions, are these good, why are they always a…

Should we Think like Parents of Toddlers about what we Eat?
I once heard some good advice that I've since passed along to anxious parents I encounter. The advice was: Don't necessarily worry about what your toddler eats in any given meal or single day. Think about what they eat over the course of approximately three days to determine if they're consuming appropriate calories and…

Lowering LDL through diet alone?
Has anyone been successful in lowering their LDL to within normal range, without medication, but doing this strictly through nutrition? Due to my family history, all my doctors are insisting that I take a statin as a preventative and they say that LDL can NOT be lowered to within normal range through diet alone. I get very…

PlateJoy (2022)
First I did try the search and the most recent post was a year ago, so I'm making a new one. Has anyone used PlateJoy? I'm on a free trail. I decided to cut out dairy for my skin/digestion and see if it makes a difference. So I told it to avoid dairy and added sugar. It's my first week of meals, I'm overwhelmed and it's a…

Gallbladder and digestion problems since
So, here I am, 67 years old, pretty healthy, but would like to lose weight (about 20 pounds) which I gained since I met the new guy in my life 5 years ago. Then 1 1/2 years ago I had pancreatitis and they removed my gallbladder. Since then I had an overproduction of bile and mostly diarrhea. Talked to a new friend just a…

Recipes vs ingredients
I added a recipe to MFP, and it calculated 30g total carbs. However, when I look up each individual ingredient in MFP using the same measurements as the recipe, my calculations total 20.3. Anyone know why this discrepancy?

Fage is not the same. Now seeking suggestions for a new plain 2% yogurt, preferably organic
I nearly missed a significant change in Fage yogurt. I thought it was just a packaging change. Then I noticed that the yogurt that I loved, Fage 2% plain no longer would take me through my morning to lunch. I had been eating Fage 2% plain yogurt in the 7 ounce cup almost daily for more than 30 years. Now, I kept finding my…

Finding recipes
Does anyone know if there is a search function to find recipes? I have literally 25 pages of logged recipes (it's been 6 years) and I find myself looking for a dinner that I have put into the recipe builder, but I have no idea when, or what "page" it's on. I can search on my phone (but I'm getting an error message), but…

According to my body composition analysis, I require 1,650 calories and 124 grams of protein (30%) per day, assuming I'm a lazy bum and don't exercise. I soon discovered that’s a lot of beef! As a pescatarian/vegetarian, it would require consuming, in one day, 6 fish…

Strategies for curbing a sweet tooth once its been activated.
I generally don't eat sugar or crave sugar (or flour, I actually despise pasta, and I'm picky about bread). But there's an exception, once I do eat something sweet it's like I become an unhinged monster looking to devour the cosmos. It is important to be able to eat the occasional treat without eating a 2nd or 3rd (4th or…

Protein Powders
