This new format is terrible. I can no longer set my own fluid counts.

Just today 062425 I encountered the new format for entering food. It's terrible.
I can no longer customize units of water. I used to be able to set my own, using 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz as my shortcut additions. Now I'm forced to use 8 oz, 16 oz, 24 oz, and cannot change it.
GIVE US A CHOICE OF THE FORMER FORMAT !
At least make that option for Premium members. There are so very few advantages to paying to be a premium member.

    I do not like this new format either. Please change it back.

    I came here to complain about the new look. Why do they change something that it’s working perfectly.

    Absolutely agree! New format is horrible!!! Why putting the CALORIES (Remaining = Goal - Food + Exercise) section at the top??? We know what is our GOAL, this is useless and ALL of the people will just scroll down to BREAKFAST section anyway. So you basically created - an annoyance!?

    The table should be wider not narrower. It now looks like a bunch of numbers that are difficult to read because the table is also longer so more scrolling is needed and it is not presentable as it was before.

    And yes, the choice of grams, kilograms, liters, mililiters (or whatever people are using) is unlogical.

    One more thing - my NOTES disappeared too!? Who did this insanity???

    I am waiting for years to have an option for SALT instead of SODIUM because fo us from EUROPE and the rest of the world the nutrition facts table on each product shows SALT not SODIUM. I know sodium is 40% of salt but why would anyone from Europe or other regions calculate that for each product??? We simply put SALT values (because it is already written on the product) and that creates confusion for many users, as well as for MFP. Instead, not that you didn't offer SALT option for other 7.7 billion people - but you created a narrow long messy table where nothing clearly pops out!? That's insanity. Wouldn't it be normal to have all the basic numbers clearly visible at the bottom of the table??? Just use a different color or different background so that we can clearly see the bottom line of TOTAL numbers. It's that easy!

    I am really mad about what you have done. At least give us option to use OLD format if you are not capable to make sensible changes.

    Booo!

    P.S. If anyone knows another similar website please let me know, I am willing to migrate if they have a normal and presentable table.

    The new format is absolutely horrible and frustrating. Please change it back or, at a minimum, give us a choice between this horrible new format and the much-beloved standard format.

    I hope you know that MFP staff don't read most of the posts here in the Community: This is mainly just conversation among regular users of the software like you and me.

    If you want to tell them what you think, post your comments here:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/feature-suggestions-and-ideas

    . . . or talk to them via the Help function, or email the support email address.

    The people most likely reading your post have no more power to change the software than you have yourself.

    I agree with the comments from others—the new format sucks royally, especially the change to the section for adding water. Please revert to the old format. It was so much more user-friendly.

    Long time user. HATE the new format. I am not interested in scrolling down the daily food entry page just so you can have more space to place ads.
