MFP is great but what would you change if you could?

I'd like a "search" feature of the food diary. Sometimes I look very hard for the right entry for something I ate and then I eat it later that month or next and I have to go back and find it again. If I could search my diary, I'd find the right entry that I used before really easily.

I agree with this. I want to search within the foods I've already used b/c I know if I selected them that they are accurate.

I'd like to have more than 1 name-change possibility. I don't want to start a new account and lose all my time/information just to change my name up.

MORE HOT MEN PLEASE!
MORE PEOPLE THAT SPEAK THEIR MINDS,
cause BLUNT WORKS!
MORE WILD CRAZY PEOPLE LIKE ME!
YEAH!

If there was a place beside each meal that we could put our Blood glucose level. I use the notes section at the bottom but would like a place next to the meal that influenced my bgl

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.

Well, truthfully, that feature doesn't do that for me. I personally KNOW I need to stay under 1480 at all times, and I usually try to shoot for the 1250-1400 range anyway...I kind of ignore the "earned" calories from exercise, but it's nice they are there if I do go a little over.

It's been working for me, as in a year of using MFP, I've not gained a pound -- and have lost or maintained what I had.

But, what works for one may not work for others.

I hate when my logging days reset. If I forget to log, as long as I go back within 24 hours, that day should count...

This irks me too. There are days when I can't log, but I log the day I miss when I come back. This usually is because I am sick and the last thing I want to do is track.

I have been here for a while now and every time I see the 'logged in for x days" I write under it - for the 8th time in X years , or whatever.

I think everyone has mentioned everything else.
Better recipe builder.
Like button might be fun.
Notification of when someone replies to a post you wrote it.
Notification of when someone writes on your posts or profiles.
Net carbs without having to use a Chrome hack.

Of course, we start asking for these things MFP will turn into a pay site and we'll be forced to head back to Lose It, Calorie Count, Spark People or Fat Secret.

For those commenting on changing recipes instead of having to delete lines and add the item over again, this is possible from the iPhone app. I would like to see it online though too.

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.

I totally agree with this. It woudl be nice to set my TDEE days up so when I consume more on workout days there is not these huge red number taungting me like I did something wrong.

Dont know if anyone already said this, but when you click on 'complete diary' it says you will be X pounds in 5 weeks. I wish that you could have that as a fixed date/goal so 3 weeks into it, you know exactly your progress. The 5-week thing just become a bone for a dog after but never get.

I would change the app so we can visit the forums on it.

Yes!!! I want the forums on my phone!

1. On the site, when you search for a food, I would like to see the calories for each before you add it to your diary, like on the app.

THIS!

once you have searched for a food, and you click on it to choose it from the list of results, it appears on the right. click on the "nutritional info" link . That will pop up a window that displays all the stats.

OMG OMG! Thank you! PS: To those looking for it, it's teeny tiny. It's really there. Keep looking!
But... that link wasn't always there, right? Is it new? Or newish?

Definitely THIS!! Sometimes I make something a little different from one time to the next and it'd be so much easier to just edit the recipe, than to start all over new. (Unfort, I only use the webinterface)

I'd like to have a feature that would take me to the last post I read (like another site does that I visit). Sometimes I like to follow a discussion off and on through the day, but it's such a pain to have to scroll through until I find the last post that I remember.

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

This.
