How to use the USDA food Database + MFP food Database for accurate logging.
I posted this in a thread but someone requested that i move it to a thread on its own. I am going to add a bit more to it though!

50 pounds down, 35 to go but hit a plateau
I've been on a trend toward my goal at a pretty steady pace. I don't exercise all that much just because I'm on my feet all day for work and on my days off I'm exhausted.

I went to check my Net Calories for the last week and I don't recall seeing so many options there for reports? And the graphics are improved a bit, on desktop anyway. There are options for Protein per day, every other macro, Fitness Calories, etc., which I don't remember seeing before.
