    I would like to be able to set a separate daily calorie goal for days I work out vs. days I don't. I would like to have a 1400 calorie goal on non-workout days, and a NET 1200 calorie goal on workout days.

    ^^ this too : )

    Might be nice to have a generic weight training category in the exercise section. My routine consists of pyramids and drop sets and entering in every set (with different weight and rep count for each) would take so much time I don't bother with it. (I do separately keep track of that elsewhere so I can see my progress in lifting more weight from week to week.)

    I would like to see the recipe section be like the food section, where you can adjust the quantity of something without having to delete and start a whole new search.

    ^^^This!!! I routinely re-use the same recipes, but ingredient weights constantly vary, so I'm always futzing with my previously entered recipes, and I wish I could just adjust the amount of an ingredient within a previously created recipe. This is really my only big pet peeve with MFP.

    Yeah, this'd be handy.

    I would like an option to enter foods by weight. I weigh everything, and the MFP options are mostly volume measurements, which don't help. I quit logging foods (I keep a paper diary anyway as I don't have a smartphone and can't enter foods on the go) because it was such a pain to try to find an entry that fit closely with my weighed portion.

    I'd want to get rid of the "You've earned calories" bs whenever you log exercise. It's like trying to say you get to reward yourself with food, for working out. Which is counter-productive IMO.

    You might want to do some research on how this site that you joined works. Mfp already sets you at a healthy deficit to lose. When you exercise your deficit increases (for some to a dangerous level). Eating back exercise calories gets you to your original healthy deficit (this is why you hear the terms GROSS calories and NET calories. Not counter productive and not a reward system. People should really know what kind of site they are on and how it actually works. There is science and smart stuff behind it :).

    I wish they had some T-shirts, and work out branded gear, I'd promote the best site on the internet, it'd be cool to see others at the gym and in the real world that are members too,

    ^^I'd buy workout gear from this site!!

    I would too! that's a cool idea. but is it selfish that I also kind of like my own little MFP bubble of all online friends and no real world friends that way I can say whatever I want on the threads without having to worry about anything... :blushing:

    I would like to see that you can check the boxes on the food items, search for a new item, and then hit post. I don't like having to go back and forth every time I add my food in.

    it would kind of be great for MFP to suggest a meal to fit that last amount of calories and macros u have left. then again that may be dangerous for people only having 100 cals left for dinner haha. but I always thought this would help me to meet my daily goals without having to think too much about it at the end of the day.

    also would like a drag and drop option for meals. I feel like online entry takes forever.

    also, with so many options for the same entry to pick from, can we have a vote down or vote to remove button of some sorts? sure we are able to see how many confirmation each item has but u have to click through each one to see that number. people should be able to vote for wrong info and have those removed.

    searching for new friends: be able to search for friends with the option to include photos

    friends list: delete multiple friends at a time (using a checkbox or something)

    There already is this - if you click on "quick tools" in your diary (or the wrench in the app), you can copy a meal from an earlier day with one click. I do this all the time since my breakfast / lunch / snacks for most days are pretty near identical. In addition, there's a tool to make a meal that MFP will remember.

    I would like the option to track nutrients without tracking calories.

    Also, it would be cool if it announced inches lost on your feed as it does weight.

    My ticker says I lost 44lbs. I've lost 43.5. No, it's not that big of a deal, but I'd rather display my real loss!


    SO TRUE!!! That is the one thing that frustrates me the most!!!

    1. You could use the forums on the app
    2. Notifications when someone comments on something of yours

    Perfection :glasses:
