Exercise calories
Hi all, I’m just wondering, given we burn calories from exercise and these additional calories are added to our daily allowance, should we be eating these extra calories or do we just stick to our usual daily allowance?

Newbie dashboard question
On Day one, top of the dashboard progress tracker noted how many meals tracked & grams of protein. Day two, it switched to meals & grams of fiber. Protein is my priority, how can I get that back on the Dashboard for quick reference throughout the day? Have researched the app & can’t figure it out.

New here and looking for accountability!
I am new to MFP but certainly not new to trying to lose weight.

I'm 51 years old and peri menopausal and am tired of being tired and not feeling good in my own body.…
