New to mfp

Hi all so I've had this app for properly over a year+ never used it I've always done sw but money has become so tight I can't afford togo so thought I'd actually give mfp ago. Any helpfully tips for a mum on a tight budget and a fussy child eater would be much appreciated and might be a stupid question does this really work? 😊

    Yes, it really works!

    Keeping close track of your calories and making sure you’re taking in less energy via food than you expend by living and moving around is the ONLY thing that does work.

    Any ‘plan’ will only work as a mechanism for ensuring the above is true. That includes Slimming World and it’s evolving ‘plans’ over the years.

    In fact, if you’re cooking for a fussy child as well as yourself simply counting your calories will be way simpler than trying to follow ‘syns’ and ‘free foods’ etc.

    Simply weigh, cook and log whatever you choose to eat.
