When I searched for chicken, 'raw chicken breast' is the first thing that came up, which is a generic catch all for any non-brand chicken. When I searched for salmon, 'generic - atlantic salmon/farm raised' was the second result.

I know there's a way to adjust what your starting weight was (since I started using this site after I lost 20 pounds and asked for help with it) but I can't figure it out atm...

There is no pro version. This website is free.

I just went in earlier this week and updated my starting weight. I'd lost about 50 pounds before starting MFP almost a year ago, and finally decided I want my total weight loss to show on my ticker, not just what I've lost since last March.

Anyway, if you go in to Weigh-in on your home page, click on edit previous entry then it'll allow you to add a new entry. Just enter the date and the weight and it'll update your ticker.

Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to look that up for me-

I am going in to adjust it now-
