I feel that this site is tailored for women. Does myfitnesspal give different targets for each gender? How much does gender factor into weight loss?

Right? lol0 -
There are tons of men on this site... all in progress.
I believe this site is gender neutral.
Getting fit and eating healthy is also gender neutral.0 -
I've dropped nearly 35 lbs.... NOPE, Doesn't work for men! Try another site!0

Yeah, it works.1 -
It's all about the calorie count. The proof is in the results, I'm down 31lbs heading toward 35. Of course, you have to want to track everything that goes in your mouth and you have to do it it honestly. Ift's a great tool for accountability.0

I am a guy and use it to keep track of sodium.0

My husband uses this and it was recommended to him by a long time male friend; he lost 15 lbs. The biggest benefit he found was the eye opener it was when logging food. Lots more calories than he expected, so it helped him make different food choices and think before chowing down on something. Also, how much both of us were drinking ... probably a glass, sometimes two, of wine every night. That has stopped ... well, put the brakes on the frequency :-)0

I think it works great
dude... those are some amazing legs!!!0 -
I think its the little dancer logo that got him...0

Maybe it seems that way because there are a lot of women who want to lose weight...and we like to talk!0

The reason why I got that feeling is that when originally signing up, all over the home page was quotes from women. There were no input from men there. The icon for the website is a woman too. Either that or a highly flexible, thin man. I'm glad to hear that there are a lot of men here and have found that this tool works for them.0

Yeah, I've seen just as many men as I've seen women on this site. Some of us women may get our husbands/boyfriends interested in it initially, but they end up sticking around for the long-run because this site isn't gender specific and is very helpful to both sexes. I'm not even much of a calorie counter, myself (mostly counting carbs), but I've found some of the other tools on this site to be a godsend.. there really is something here for everyone. Plus, everyone has been so helpful and supportive.0

Yes.. it can work for men too. What is it about this site that screams 'women' only?0
-
It's working for me, my dad, and 3 or 4 guys at work.0
