Hi does the food entered only last for so long as all my entry's from 2017 have gone but strangely all exersice is still there? Thank you

Did you make any adjustments to the meal structure in your diary, such as removing a meal? That can delete entries, I think.

Hi don't think so, and its not just one this that has gone everything has 😭 I'm going to America and I wanted to see what I ate last time. Never mind

I have had numerous foods disappear from my previous foods list. I KNOW I have had cherry tomatoes, celery, and on and on.... I have 4 pages of foods (never any more than that), even tho I have been here for 320 days. Anyone else have a solution to this problem?

There is no solution as it’s just how MFP works. 4 pages of recent foods is the storage limit per account (actually no idea if this changes with Premium).

If you eat a wide variety of foods I guess sometimes it’s not enough because the foods you eat less frequently will decay from the bottom of the list.

I just looked at my FOOD log from September 10, 2007. Yup 2007.

So, no, food from the FOOD page diary doesn't disappear. (Web version. I have no idea about apps.)

@gaz458 you are referring to your food log, rather than Recent Foods, yes? I can go back to 2012 in desktop. No idea about mobile.

How I did it - I went back a day so there would be a date, clicked on the URL box, and changed the year to 2012 https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary?date=2012-09-19

For whoever disagreed with my above post - I was responding to the post immediately above mine, which had asked an entirely different question. I answered that question with the facts of how Recent foods lists work. Not sure you can disagree with that unless you don’t bother reading context 🤷‍♀️
