Trouble looking up foods to log when away from home
Hey y’all, I have no trouble logging foods at home on the app when on wifi, but out in the wild I can’t look up food to log, it only lets me choose from foods I previously logged. It’s been this way for forever for me. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

For those that like to ponder
I am doing a Bible devotional titled "Food is not the enemy" and came across this tidbit: Imagine what life would look like if… … your appetite was proportional to your physical needs and you ate from a place of contentment? Can you imagine??? How different my life would have been, how much mind space would have been freed…

Eating more with Keto?
Hello has anyone noticed that they could eat more with Keto and still lose the same amount of weight as maybe a more strictly calories in vs calories our approach? Just curious how true these claims of weight loss on higher calories are.

Injury weight gain
This morning I stood on my scales for the first time in a couple of weeks and looked at a number that was almost exactly the same as it was previously. This isn't exactly a huge surprise as I have had a (mostly planned) up and down couple of weeks, however the last section of which involved me throwing my knee out playing…

Question about calories
So I am curious to know if anyone has tried calories swings for weeks and have lost weight? What I mean is some days you go by the calories mfp gives you if you want to lose 2 lbs a week and other days you go by maintenance calories. What were your results doing this? And how long you went through this trend?

I stop taking my blood pressure medication
Hydrochlorathizide (?) because the doctor says my BP is stable now... 110/70. I stopped for almost 1 week now and everyday I seem to gain 1 pound. I went from 154 last week to 161 2 days ago. Then yesterday I was 159 and today I'm 158.8. What is going on here? Am I retaining water? I'm drinking at least 80 oz a day and I'm…

Is it normal to put on 7 pounds after a weeklong vacation?
I have been dieting for about a year now and have lost close to 80lbs (prior to my “vacation”). One of my goals with my weight loss journey is to learn to adapt to life, recognizing that there’ll be moments in my life where careful scrutinization of my meals won’t be possible. I found myself without any appliances for a…

12 hour shifts?
Hello, I do 12 hour shifts and usually walk around 18,000 steps a day, 3/4 days a week. (I clip the mini Fitbit onto my knickers so it doesn’t take into account heart rate etc) and I think it over compensates my calories back as they’re not strenuous steps but rather just walking between residents etc... I eat a lot on my…

Exercise and calories
MFP always adds the calories burned due to exercise to the calorie "goal" but I always ignore it and stick to the same 1800 per day. One of the reasons I do this is because I have no idea if those calorie burned are accurate for me - one person's vigorous is another person's moderate I figure. Does anyone else do this?

Calorie goal feedback

Getting past a plateau
Hello friends, I've lost 40 lbs since February just by counting total calories in the MyFitnessPal app. I have occasionally reduced my calorie ceiling by increasing my weight loss goal until it's now up to 2 lbs per week. That's about as far as I can go without starting to underfeed and lose muscle instead of fat. If I…
