    Um... are you saying that 150g of chicken breast has 67g protein?? I don't know where you're getting your chicken from but I just logged 157g of chicken breast for my lunch tomorrow and it has 37g of protein...

    Are you sure the entry you're using in the database is correct? I usually check what the label on my actual packet says and pick an entry in the database that matches!

    If you want to maintain/gain muscle I'd look at upping protein so you're at .8-1.0g per pound of bodyweight.

    That is just what the database had it listed as, I had picked the 'Chicken - Baked Breast - Skinless & Boneless, 150 gram' if you wanted to look at that one :) It is kind of concerning to hear that, the entire point of me coming to use the app is to have a way to easily log the foods I eat. I don't have the knowledge to analyze the all to figure out which ones are the right ones, that was supposed to be the point of this app I thought?

    Nice one thank-you, definitely confirms what my body has been telling me lately based on my current diet. Steak for me! If only Greggs Steak Bakes were healthier then I would be all over them every morning lol

    I would try using chicken, broilers or fryers, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted. This is an official entry and if you're using an app, it should have a green check mark next to it. Serving size is defaulted to cups, but if you click their serving size, you can change that to grams. Because most entries are user entered, there are a lot of incorrect ones out there. Once you've found the right ones, they stay in your recent foods list and you can keep using those ones. If you ever question an entry, you can always try to double check the Usda Database, which is where the official entries come from. http://ndb.nal.usda.gov And, if you find something there, the wording on MFP is almost always exactly the same.

    Thanks! Great tip there to only use the green tick ones from now on! I'm a fairly fussy eater and nearly everything I used to eat is unhealthy so that leaves me with a very small pool of foods that I eat and so need to find the right entries for which should make things way easier lol

    Thank-you :) So is the standard assumption that they are US based entries and I should be looking for UK entries instead? I know there are very different standards for certain things between our countries :)

    Thanks Happycampr, that is something I'll definitely have to do and it is a big help to have gotten me to look at it that way :) I'll pop and check out that link right now!
