Does anyone use the premium, if so do you find it helpful?

    I do. I find it useful for macro tracking. I can get what percentage of each macro I have per meal, which is good for staying on track. I can also turn off exercise calories, which is nice since I so TDEE for my calorie goal. There are a few other tools that are helpful as well. And no ads is a big plus.

    That being said, it is definitely not necessary. Lots of people have been successfully losing here for years without it. If you are not doing macro tracking or anything out of the ordinary, it doesn't have that much benefit besides no ads.

    Does it show more than 5 nutrients in the food log? I know the printout adds a couple more but it would be nice to see more than just the 5 on the log's main page.

    I had premium for years - I just downgraded. To me it wasn’t worth it.

    Also, you can gerry-rig the macro-percentage tracking per meal with the free version if you just enter each meal first on an otherwise blank page in your food diary (e.g., breakfast on today, lunch on tomorrow, dinner on the day after) and then go to the macros tab under nutrition for each day, using the "day" view (rather than the "week" view). Then when you're done you can copy all the meals to the current day.
