How and where are you typing in when you search? Also, as you mentioned pounds in an earlier post I'm assuming you're in the UK. Type the name of the supermarket + the food when searching for things like chicken.0

Assuming you're clicking Add Food and then typing in to the search bar at the top of the next page, I'm not sure how or why you get burger if you type chicken. It could be that that's the last thing you selected when you searched for chicken before. It looks like MFP thinks you buy /eat the same stuff so puts previous entries towards the top of the search results. When I type in chicken, the first entry is Tesco's Whole roast chicken, which I eat regularly. However, I then get lots of entries that contain the word 'chicken'. Did you scroll down? To get the right entry, you may need to be fairly specific.
Also, on digital scales, there's usually a button to toggle between ounces and grams. Use grams as it's far more accurate.3 -
I click on what meal it is breakfast dinner then search1

So if that's what you see, where is the issue?5

I don’t know I’m going to get new scales as my scanning the item is different to me weighing3
-
Don't scan, I've never scanned. Get a scale and weigh and find the right entry.8

Today I’m not hungry got lots more calories to eat6

Don't scan, I've never scanned. Get a scale and weigh and find the right entry.
Even if you do scan, make sure the nutritional info on MFP's entry matches the nutritional info for the item you scanned. On top of that, weigh the item and compare it to the gram weight listed per serving. So if you eat a prepackaged 50g item, but it weighs 54g, you'd log it as 1.08 servings since 54/50 = 1.087 -
I don’t know I’m going to get new scales as my scanning the item is different to me weighing
That doesn't mean that the scale is wrong.
Considering how low your previous entries were, based on what common knowledge says the food should be, the more likely situation is that you're getting bad entries when you scan.
Like, look at your margarine entry from today. Do you know how SMALL 1 gm? That's barely a grain of rice. I promise you that you are not putting 1 gm of margarine on something.13 -
Hi OP, just been reading this thread and it sounds like you could maybe use a supportive friend? I am 5"1 and started at 9 stone and 9lbs, so similar stats. I am now down to 8 stone and 5lbs. My current daily calories are 1250 though I exercise a lot so tend to eat quite a bit more. If you would like to add me I would be happy to help you with your logging issues if that would be of any use. If not, I hope you manage to sort everything out7

It's unlikely you put 3 grams of anything, 3 grams of butter or margarine would be a tiny amount. Definitely logging errors. When you get your digital scale, start fresh. Spend the first month learning how to properly track foods and building your personal list of foods. It'll get easier.7 -
There's no way you are not losing weight if your intake is TOO low. I suspect you should do a YouTube search for how to weigh and measure portions❤9

It is a small amount I don’t really like it6

I tried it and can’t get it to let me do it not sure why I’ve clicked every thing x1 -
One thing that I have found very helpful is to fill half my plate with salad and then have a small (weighed and measured) portion of the regular dinner that I would enjoy eating. That way I feel like I am full AND I feel like I was not deprived of the foods I usually love to eat.

I have changed my diet and feel like losing weight. I eat four servings of veggies and two of fruit and follow the food pyramid. I try to stay about 1500 calories a day and after two weeks have started exercise. I have a lot of weight to lose but feel so much better. Good luck to you and do not give up.3

You're clicking "Quote"...multiple times.
Don't worry about it. If she wants to add you as a friend she'll figure it out.
BUT. If you click my blue link, then click the "Add as a friend" green button, it should work.
You must be on a tiny phone.
It's okay, no big deal. I was just trying to help.

OP do you have access to the desktop version? It seems like you’re struggling with the app version and maybe the desktop will be easier for you to find food entries in the database as well as navigate the forums.12

Re: the margarine.
You know those weeny little catering packs / single serves that you get when you stay in a hotel?
How many slices of bread would you spread one of those over?
They’re generally 10-15g per pack.
Unless you’re getting more than 3 slices of bread out of that much margarine, you’re using more than you think you are. The same will go for all sorts of other stuff.
Like others have said: weigh everything, pick your database entries carefully.11 -
@kpaing121 When is the wedding in June? With as little weight as you have to lose it will be a struggle to lose that much. Maybe you should proceed with getting the dress altered. Then afterwards worry about losing the 10lbs if you still want to. You are putting a lot of stress on yourself.3
