Weight scale in graphs scientifically incorrect
Dear all, How do you feel about the adjusting scale in the weight graphs? It really bothers me that the graphs display the scale from the highest to the lowest weight, so that the weight axis scale doesn’t start at 0 kg. This makes weight changes seem huge, even though in the bigger picture, it might only be a 0.8 kg…

Big OverFeed Ruins Everything? Nope.

I need help with the 1240 calories daily that my profile said I should have.
I am new to MyFitnessPal, I am 73 and not active and my goal is to get rid of the 7 lbs I gained.

Exercise Calories why I don't use them.
Hi, I don't believe my exercise calories, they are estimates and I turn my off for weight loss in MFP. I cycle and it can say I burned 400 calories to 600 calories for the same ride, at the same watts. I know on days that I ride I can add a few more calories, but no where near what the exercise was. Who I am: 57 year old…
