Did your ancestors recently experience food insecurities?
So my question is about what you know of your ancestors' recent food insecurities and how might your issues be correlated? Do you have Irish ancestors that experienced famine in the 1800s?

Prediabetes or Diabetic Macros?
Hi, I was diagnosed as prediabetic and I'm trying to get my AIC/blood sugar down. I also need to lose about 25 lbs. Does anyone know what macros are good for this? It seems every source recommends something different. Also trying to figure out how to track added sugar - it seems that MFP only tracks total sugar, which…

Struggling
I went through surgical menopause in my 30’s. My Dr took me off my hormones and I’m struggling with losing any weight. My weight has been the same for the past year and half. I’m eating in my calorie deficit. To be honest I’m not a consistent exerciser. I have severe arthritis and it has caused it hard for me to walk. But…

“Projected weight loss”

"Eat well, live better" class vs. MFP
Last week, I had a phone appointment with a dietician (a few months ago, I asked my GP to refer me). It was fruitful, and conveniently my GP's clinic was just starting a four-week Zoom class on healthy eating, etc. The first session was this morning, and it was fascinating. I just read an interesting recent thread about…

Is there a weekly summary chart for exercise somewhere?
Years ago when I was shedding my pregnancy weight after each kid I used an app called My Food Diary. My favourite thing about it was the weekly summary chart that showed me how many minutes of exercise I’d put in each day of the previous week. MFP has that for steps but not for exercise, and since I swim a lot and my…

OptaVIA weight rebound!
I was so thrilled when I lost 52 lbs in 6 months using Optavia. Problem is I really didn’t change my habits enough, or maybe because I did it during the COVID shutdown, real life returning tested my habits and I backslid. 2 years and almost all of it came back. I’m now using MFP to track my daily intake and exercise with…

When using bone-in, skin-on chicken in stew
I started with 2 pounds, 2 oz (962.2 g) of chicken in chicken cacciatore in the slow cooker. When the chicken was cooked, I deboned and skinned it, and tossed this. How do I account for the fat that remained in the pot? I don't know that this will be especially helpful, but I ended up with 7.25 oz (205 g) skin and bones…

To those hypothyroid: insist on med dosage that makes you feel normal!
I've had hashimoto for ages, left untreated for a very long time, managed to lose weight because the influence on energy expenditure is rather low. Since about February I've not been feeling well. Exercising failed, the bit of weight I wanted to lose didn't happen because I didn't log and ate tons of sweets. Note:…

Eating enough fiber, drinking water- still constipated!
I just cannot seem to be able to move my bowels in a normal manner.

I seemed to poop more regularly and "normally" before I EVER watched what I was eating…

Log My Recurring Breakfast
Hi, I am new to the APP. E very morning I have about 10 ingredients I put into my breakfast. I couldn't find an easier way to log the breakfast, so I don't have to keep putting the same ingredient and amount every single time. Is there a way to save my breakfast and reuse that? Thanks, James
