    If you aren't losing weight, you're eating too much. You might want to recheck your calorie deficit, and be sure you are weighing all your solids and measuring all your liquids. Be very honest with your logging.

    How do I recheck my calorie deficit.Yes,weighing all my solids & measuring all liquids.

    Obviously you're not weighing all your solids when you have an entry of '6 chicken legs'. How much did they weigh? You need to enter everything by how much it weighs in either ounces or grams on a food scale, not random entries you find in the database.

    There are bad entries in the database, but after a while you will learn to ignore them.
    I try to either scan the barcode (for packaged foods),
    or for fresh foods I add "USDA" to the MFP search parameters.

    USDA strawberries fruit fresh
    USDA chicken breast roasted
    USDA salmon baked
    USDA avocado

    I notice others are suggesting the official usda website, which is great to know, but there are also usda entries within the MFP database.
