    Hi im fairly new also. Started using MFP on my iPhone 16th July and i thinks its brilliant. Easiest way to keep track of your allowances and patterns.
    I advise anyone just starting out to set their target daily allowance but then eat as you would normally for one week.
    This way you can see if its the foods you are eating that arent helping or simply just the portion size.
    Perhaps its both but this really helped me work out where to save calories and where to increase protein or carbs in certain meals.
    I wasnt unfit when i started so as a very active person its still helped me. Dont be put off if you think you are already an expert.
    My goal is to reach 11st 7lbs to aid with my 10K time. I was 12st 4lbs when i started this and now 11st 13lbs so its helping me for sure.
