    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)

    I'm kind of new on this site so forgive me if I have missed something...

    I would like a "Like" button!
    I would like to be able to change my nutritional goals as I lose weight and it not affect my history.
    I would like to be able to view previous daily summaries from the Home page.

    Thank you!

    I would like to see a "like" button, and get updates when someone has comments or replied to something.

    Like. (Me too.)

    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:

    Me too~! loved to see a like button. I'd also like to see more of the popular workout videos listed on the exercise feature (unless I am missing it) I can't believe that with everyone doing exercises like ( Insanity, P90X, Zumba etc) that they aren't listed for ease.

    I love the idea of being able to track short-term goals in addition to ultimate goals. I think having smaller goals along the way would help to keep me encourage and motivated as I work towards my bigger goals.

    1. The ability to post my daily exercise diary when I WANT TO rather than have it auto-post. If I do 2-a-days or make an error I can't change the auto-post. It's a small thing but VERY annoying.

    2. Basic text formatting options for news posts/replies. Clumping everything into a single giant paragraph makes most things unreadable.

    3. Stop rounding the ticker numbers...

    4. On screen notifications for forum replies and comments (not just the current emails)

    5. A bacon dispenser button on the main page...

    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.

    I would also like to find a way to share my recipes with my friends by having them be able to access them if I grant permission.

    Agreed! Also, with the app when you search for a food it searches your diary too. Like if I know I ate something 2 days ago, it's not recent enough to be on the recent tab. So instead of going back and searching thru the "recent" stuff or doing a brand new search, if I type in "apple" it will show me entries from my food diary and I can just pick it right there.

    I would love it if mfp could calculate how many calories where burned while doing weights. That would be amazing! :)
    Also, a progress report on weights would be fantastic for motivation.

    I would like to see a way to add a poll to threads. Babycenter.com has this feature and it's nice because you get a quick overview of what most people do and A LOT more people respond because it's so quick and easy.

    So you could add something like:

    Do you think that protein powder loses nutrients if you microwave it ?
    a) yes
    b) no
    c) don't know

    On babycenter you can add up to five answers to choose from, then after a user submits their answer it turns into a bar graph that shows how everyone else responded. You can also still comment if you want to describe your answer more like you do in a regular thread.

    More men without shirts.

    And the macros graph on the website, the better nutrition chart on the website (both are great on the app), and the ability to group friends and share some info with certain ones but not all ones (because some friends get annoyed or don't care).

    Not to be a prude but I like it when people can be open an honest but also a mature adult about things. I find myself skipping over posts of people who are a little too outspoken and tend to be crying out for attention. Seriously not trying to be rude or make enemies but Blunt may define you but it only works to attract the attention that, well, blunt attracts .:huh:

    I would like for my past calorie budget to remain the same in my records when I change it. Say it's been 1700 for the past 3 months and today I'm changing it to 1800. I would like the past to stay accurate rather than change according to today. Better record keeping.

    ^^THIS TOO

    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 :).
    Ugh, I had a huge rant, but decided to delete it and simpy say.

    A guy, who knows how to program javascript made this website. Not a personal trainer, doctor, or nutritionist. "Science and smart stuff"...yeah, I don't think so. I've actually researched and talked to doctors. If you're depending on the poor macros of this site, you're going to have issues.

    Don't be daft and eat at such a deficit that you can't workout without eating MORE. You know you're working out and you should know that working out increases your deficit, so learn the "Science and smart stuff" on your own, like I did; and plan for it.

    ^^^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.

    ABSOLUTELY THIS- It is time consuming to have to delete and item, search for the one you used that day, then add it back to the recipe. Some of my recipes I have memorized and sometimes I'll use 1 tbsp of oil and other days 2 tbsp. I log it after I have cooked it. It would be great to be able to adjust the quantity!

    It's a free app so I'm pretty content. Ask me later when I'm in a bad mood from being in the forums and this may change.

    I 100% agree about the recipe issue.

    Also, I would love to be able to adjust the quantity of my meals that I've saved. Fir instance, if I created a meal where I made mac & cheese in my own way and I ate the whole box one day, I might only eat half the next time and there's no way to adjust that meal;s amount.

    I would LOVE it if I was on a recipe site, and I could just push a little button and it would copy all the ingredients and nutritional info right into MFP recipes. It's sometimes a daunting task searching for each ingredient one by one...
