What's best about MFP?
I'm pretty new here, and am wondering if anyone else had some less than great experiences with similar sites before finding this one. I'm sticking with MFP because it seems it has such a large database of food items and easy to use functionality that it makes it very easy to keep up with all the inputing we end up doing. I…

Girl Scout Cookies
