    The best way is to just start clicking on tabs to see what's here. The Home tab has a goals tab where you can either let MFP customize them for you or make your own. Under food tab you can look up almost every food imaginable. Under the Community tab you can see posts for new members to MFP. Just explore and ask if you need help. We are here for you!/Cindy

    If you have a smartphone you can download the mfp app! its really convenient and simple to use! everyday all you do is select the foods you chose to eat and input them in the diary! little by little you will get used to it and i guarantee you will also get more involved with research, I know i did!
