    1) Calorie counting
    2) For the advice, from others who've been there and done that

    Mostly calorie counting. I feel that I am held accountable in some way. I love the recipe builder tool as well.

    I've done calorie counting before, but MFP lets me add the exercise calories for a more comprehensive calorie goal each day.
    The forums are what got me hooked though.
    Finally, some of my family members across the U.S. have joined and we support each other.

    All of the above! What has kept me here? The sense of community and understanding. I can't go on facebook and post about how excited I am about losing 2 lbs, or ask nutrition/exercise questions! I get snarky remarks, or none at all. I love everyone here!

    Calorie counting and the tons and tons of nutritional information the site offers. I finally know what I am doing after 40 years.

    Well for me initially it was because MFP was the first calorie counter I found for Android that I actually liked. Now that's still the primary reason I use it but I also really appreciate the community here. It's great talking to like minded folks about all this stuff.

    I tracked calories using pen & paper a long time ago. Pain in the butt. Then I used another website but it wasn't as user friendly and aggrivated me although their exercise sections was way better. If I log the calories I think I do better. It's nice to have support also.

    Food logging, making sure I eat in a balanced way, to track exercise which I find very motivating to be consistent and because I love the community of people on here.

    So...do you use it for:

    1) The calorie counting.
    2) The support.
    3) The community in general
    4) Something else

    Myself, it's 1. Ofc i love the forums, but PRIMARILY its for keeping my calories in check. How about you?

    Initially it was a freebie app on my iPhone that I thought I'd try to keep track of what I was eating. As I started to use MFP more and more, I got more into using the site. Now it's the support and community as well as the food and exercise logging.

    Well I don't log my food or exercise, I'm simply here for the great friends and sharing of knowledge.

    I use it primarily to make my meal plans accurately according to my calorie limit and macro ratios. No more guessing for me, and I *hate* Fit Day and it's insanely wrong database.
