Does anyone have the premium mfp? Is it worth the cost?

    I don't, but I have a friend that does. She did the yearly payment ($50). But she is training for an Ironman competition, and is all about food as fuel and muscle building. Kinda not what I use MFP for. (Although I hate that I stopped logging exercise because I don't want to be credited for the calories. You can't undo that on the free, but you can adjust that on the Premium. But I still don't want to pay...)

    For me, it's worth it. I can adjust for exercise and I can set my goals in grams instead of percentages. Those two things alone are worth the $4.50 a month.

    I was asking the same thing!! I searched the topic in the forums and found that most people who had it didn't feel it was worth it. Interesting.

    I use it and love the advantages mentioned. ..considering what I spent to take this journey. .the premium cost is nothing.

    I did premium as well. It's a minor cost, and it makes tracking nutritional amounts easier

    You could still log it and just put 1 in the calories burned box. Just tried it and it works!

    I got the premium membership (did the yearly thing for $50 since that was much more "reasonable"). My primary reason for getting it was to get rid of the advertising--they kept slowing me down after I got started since I was trying to fill-in my diary data for the days prior to my actually starting with MFP (I've been logging what I eat on a paper tablet since March 2015) and every time I clicked on anything, I'd have to wait for an ad to finish displaying before I could continue--so that was "worth it" to me.
