Hey ever body,
Have you seen this blog?
http://quantifiedself.com/
It s a cool website about people taking data about themselves.
I saw this post and thought it was related to myfitnesspal:
"As he explains in this post, Chris typically has a hard time tracking his diet consistently. This can be pretty frustrating when you hear about how important it is to eat this or not eat that to help with weight reduction. Rather than get frustrated Chris turned to the data to see what he could learn. When he stopped looking at the data he was entering and started looking at the missing data an interesting trend lept out. He found that fluctuations in his weight appeared to be correlated with whether or not he was logging food"

Keep on logging! I have a hard time doing it but now that I read this I agree, when I have to write it down, I eat better.
