wish we could try MFP Premium for a week to test it out. I thought of buying a month buy then if I like it would that monthly payment go towards a yearly subscription? probably not..I think it's too pricey monthly. they should offer at least one month free so we can check it out... :)

    I have it, mainly because I wanted to set my nutritional goals, via grams instead of percentages. For me that makes it worth the price but I can't afford to pay annually upfront, so I am on the monthly plan. Also since I don't want to waste money, knowing that I paid for something; keeps me from quitting.

    Or at least a week free would be cool.I'd like to try it out before paying that much a month.

    The only advantage I see is that you could "bank" your calories. I do that by simply adding a line on Saturdays.
    Ex: Banking calories -200.
    Whatever calories I save for a day, goes towards my saturday
    Grams vs percentages. For what items? I just remember that calcium 1,000 mg is 100%.

    That's a great way to bank calories. I wouldn't have thought of doing it that way.

    Grams vs percentages for carbs, protein, and fat. For example, some people want to set a 110 g goal for protein rather than having the amount vary with their calorie intake.

    Or, you could view your weekly totals/averages on diary, nutrition, week view and see your daily weekly averages on the free version.

    good point not wanting to waste your money would be a big incentive to use it.
