    Android user (v3.1). Just added 3 servings of Chips Ahoy cookies and 2 servings of a nice fatty camembert cheese. No shaming by the app :frown:

    ETA: did so via barcode scanner.

    Hmph.

    Guess you'll just have to keep getting your food shaming from the forums for a while longer.

    It does, it's got a new way of doing it. Go to diary. Choose date food is already in. Select the pencil icon on top right of screen. Select food, then select copy icon at top right of screen... sure you were ok after the word pencil.

    What comments are you referring to, exactly? :huh:

    You know when you're cooking or prepping and adding as you go? You scan some things (good), you select some items for frequently used (good), you adjust portion sizes and it calculates all the new values (good), you then click 'add selected' because you're using Multi add (good)...

    But then, while stirring/draining/serving or whatever you do your usual glance over the foods you've just added to make sure you've not forgotten to add the chicken or something - but you can't.

    It's now intermittently interrupted with useful comments like 'well done choosing bread! This is low in fat!'
    or
    'This has xxx sodium in it, your goal for today is xx'


    MFP needed this like a hole in the head. I can't fathom someone dense enough to need these comment, especially it being vital that it doesn't wait until the end of the day?!?

    You're supposed to be striving to make logging less of a chore, not more of a pain in the butt.
    Wait, does this affect iPhone users or Android users? I haven't seen anything like this yet and have an iPhone.

    It reminds me of the old Microsoft Office Assistant - "Clippy."

    This made me laugh harder than it probably should have. Off to play with the app in hopes of judgment!

    Got the messages yesterday on my Android app. I was logging some Friday pizza and wine and it started grumbling about cholesterol.It got very excited about fresh pineapple, then doubtful about the sugar levels, then extremely judgmental about t the avocado salad, then outright hostile about the pizza. I don't like it, especially when you are deliberately logging a less than perfect day.I wanted to go back and add the apple I forgot, but I didn't want to annoy it any more....

    I got a well done for my high protein granola and high calcium milk this morning! 910kcal on breakfast, but a great choice!

    A well done on my high protein tuna, but a chide reminder of my sugar goals when I logged my vegetable soup.

    Going to see if I can up the limits to stop this.


    and change my phone font.

    Every Sat/Sun morning I log my 1 egg breakfast & 2 pieces of bacon from Waffle House. The app must know not to talk back to me...

    yum!! Waffle house.

    You should try their omelets, they are so good!

    I had just gotten an update when this thread began & when I check the version, my Android has version 3.1 of the software. But there's another update available. Which I've not downloaded since having participated in this thread.

    :frown:
  • I haaaateeeeee thiiiiiissss. I was so hoping this thread would hold some secret way to turn it off.

    I am on Android, recently updated, have never scanned anything. It just started doing it today. I detest it, especially because I'm using it to help me stay low carb for health reasons that have nothing to do with weight loss. I could fiddle with the calorie goal but I shouldn't HAVE to.

    Never saw this. I have an Android phone and sometime will log foods while I'm at work. It always tells me I don't eat enough.

    What a funny addition to the MFP app. I have not seen it yet on my Iphone or my Kindle.
  • Officially turning automatic updates for MFP on my phone off and will refuse to update until this is fixed. I will sooner stop using the app then deal with this crap. :grumble:

    I get these comments, too. I use android app on my phone. I find them negative. If I eat an orange (forgoing a brownie) the comment is something like you need to watch yours sugar goal! It is a nag. I made a good choice to have fruit instead if a brownie and you feel criticized. I want to know how to turn this off.

    I have an iphone. I would quit MFP if I was getting nagging comments like this. People need to be able to use the tool in a way that works for them -- not be chastised for how they choose their foods. I keep my diary private because I don't need anyone judging my choices. If I thought a computer was judging me, I'd stop logging accurately.

    I take reinforcement seriously even when it is a computer. When I get smiley faces on my fitbit dashboard, I smile too. If I were getting finger wagging from an app, I'd go eat my feelings and then have to find a better app for logging my food.

    I would love to see the app include the community forums on the side as well... I hate using the browser

    My Android app updated yesterday (as I mentioned a minute ago lol), so I just tested it by adding a 434 calorie candy bar.
    Yum! Now, where do I find the 434 calorie 10-minute cardio exercise?? :laugh:

    I don't get any specific messages.

    I just feel it's general judgmental glare.

    YEAH THAT'S RIGHT APP. I HAD A SUPER NOODLE SANDWICH OKAY. YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME. YOU'RE NOT EVEN SENTIENT.

    ^^^ I love you.
