    How do you like this app? Did you upgrade?

    I have been on here since 2011. Premium wasn't offered when I started out. I do use it now because the features fit what I need for bodybuilding competition prep. Most people don't need most of the features, but there are people who benefit greatly from some of the premium features.

    And do you use this in combination with a diet coach?

    Initially I did this all on my own. When I lost significant weight and started working with a trainer he set up my calorie and macro goals. It's nice that he can check out my food logs here and I can make adjustments.

    MFP's calorie goals are set pretty well. Most people select a goal that is too aggressive. People with less than 50 pounds to lose should set their goal to 1 pound per week and people with 20 or less pounds to lose should consider setting theirs to half a pound per week. The initial protein goal is a bit low, but other than that most people can do well following this app without a coach/trainer/nutritionist/etc.
