    From what I've read, no. Not worth it. The premium version might be of value if you don't want to see the ads, you have a need to set macros to something more specific than 5% increments and you want to be able to enter varied calorie goals on different days of the week.

    I'm not sure of other premium features. I've not looked into it and use the free version.

    You can get free premium months by signing up for beta testing and providing feedback now and then.

    I bought a year membership. Mainly so I can set my macros in grams. You still see the ads, at least I still get bullsh!t carb laden suggestions on my feed.

    Weird, I had the premium version and never saw a single ad. My paid account just expired and i haven't renewed. The extra conveniences aren't worth it. I do get the ads now, but it's not that bad, not worth paying again.

    It's worth it for the 3 month's I'm doing a "Top Loser Challenge" at work. With premium, I can export my food diary and import it into Excel. I guess I could do it manually, but it doesn't cost much to do premium month to month for the time I need it for.

    BTW, I tried other hacks that are supposed to export your data to CSV, but I couldn't get it to work. You have to set your diary to public, and enter your username (some ask for password). /shrug

    I would urge y'all to think about going the beta tester route - in addition to getting premium for free, it gives you a direct pipeline to MFP to request additions (like more trackable nutrients, integration with the USDA database, etc.).
