    Did you make any adjustments to the meal structure in your diary, such as removing a meal? That can delete entries, I think.

    I have had numerous foods disappear from my previous foods list. I KNOW I have had cherry tomatoes, celery, and on and on.... I have 4 pages of foods (never any more than that), even tho I have been here for 320 days. Anyone else have a solution to this problem?

    There is no solution as it’s just how MFP works. 4 pages of recent foods is the storage limit per account (actually no idea if this changes with Premium).

    If you eat a wide variety of foods I guess sometimes it’s not enough because the foods you eat less frequently will decay from the bottom of the list.

    I just looked at my FOOD log from September 10, 2007. Yup 2007.

    So, no, food from the FOOD page diary doesn't disappear. (Web version. I have no idea about apps.)

    @gaz458 you are referring to your food log, rather than Recent Foods, yes? I can go back to 2012 in desktop. No idea about mobile.

    How I did it - I went back a day so there would be a date, clicked on the URL box, and changed the year to 2012 https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary?date=2012-09-19

    For whoever disagreed with my above post - I was responding to the post immediately above mine, which had asked an entirely different question. I answered that question with the facts of how Recent foods lists work. Not sure you can disagree with that unless you don’t bother reading context 🤷‍♀️
