Premium membership?

illudestquodest

I've used the basic membership mostly and was curious as to whether the premium is worth it? Is it easy to use? I don't know a lot about all these different aspects of macros and this and that or whatever else the premium has to offer. What's your take?

Thanks!

There's really only one feature that seems to be offered on premium only that I would truly want, and that's the ability to "Quick Add" carbs, fat, and protein for a food. While I'm sure that the reporting would likely be useful, I really don't feel that it justifies the high monthly (or annual) cost. The ads don't bother me at all.

I use it for the macro tracking, which I find easier to track than calories alone. So i don't mind the monthly fee. Between the gym fee and MFP pro, i'm sitting at about $50 per month. Now for the best part, I am no longer spending $250+ per month on my costly and fattening beer habit, so its totally worth it to me.

I like it. I've played around with having different calorie targets per day (ie, having lower counts on the weekdays and higher counts on the weekends because I always end up eating more on the weekends). I figured I'd try it. Still cheaper than basic WW. XD (which I had also played with)

This made it worth it to me. And I paid for the full year, thru the Play store, which included a free trial month, so it averaged out to less than $4 a month, much less than I previously spent on junk food in a day.

$50 per year is a high annual cost to you? Interesting.

I use premium. It’s worth $50/year to just avoid all of the ads in the newsfeed.

I like it. No ads. I use the ability to switch between g and % a lot.
