Today is my first day using the app. I’m not sure how the food diary works. Should I weigh all my food for accuracy? It’s still early and I haven’t eaten anything yet. I am doing keto

    It's best to weigh the food. Packages can be off, and the food entries on mfp are mostly user entered, so there can be errors.

    I weigh my food on a food scale. When I first started I just kind of guessed.

    Some items I just use the barcode scanner for like if I'm at work etc

    at the top of all the different message boards are a bunch of pinned threads with Newbie How2 info.
    it's a great resource!
