Just yesterday I hit my 4195 streak but the new feature on the log page only has me at 1884?? I feel shafted!

    I think the log page streak is supposed to be the number of consecutive days with food logged (or maybe food and/or exercise, not sure). The overall streak is for sure consecutive days logged into the app, whether the person logs food or not.

    That's my understanding anyway. I'm at 3200 days log-in streak, zero days food log streak because I haven't logged anything for yesterday yet. :D

    Mine is incorrect also plus it eliminated a feature that I used daily to simplify logging my repeat foods and meals. Please bring back my pencil.

    That feature is still there, it's just an extra step to use it: tap on the three dots and then 'edit diary'

    As for the logging streak: I'm sure it's longer as well than the 955 it mentions, but MFP deleted my older diary entries.

    Why does it matter? is there a prize or something?

    Some people like such things.
    I personally don’t find it important to me, but it would bug me if it wasn’t accurate.

    Mine is wrong. Flat out wrong. I have 4992 day streak and every single day has food logged. The food log said 4089 forever. So I contacted support. They said "there must be blank days". So I looked and there are not. There is also a section for anniversary badges. I asked why I only have 9 instead of 13. Never got an answer. Was sent a link to check food log. NOPE. All days have food logged. So I uninstalled and reinstalled. The 4992 streak is correct but now food logged streak is 2337...went back and there are foods logged for those days. Someone asked if there was a prize...no, but there's a personal goal of logging every day and more importantly, if MFP can't count days with any accuracy, why should I trust that they do anything correctly? I pay for the premium service and just keep firing off emails, waiting 2 days and am told "you must have a gap in the food log".

    Glad I’m not the only one. Thanks for your comments!
    As for having a streak that equates to almost 11.5 years, yeah it bugs me it’s not correct. I’ve worked hard at maintaining.
    I’m aware there’s no “prize”, but it helps keep me accountable on my weight loss journey.

    Mine stuck at 244. Should be close to 2000 days food logged. Reset tool gives error.

    I don't get these people that feel they have to tell others the streak don't matter, it only counts days you log into the app and not diary/food entry days, there isn't any prize, etc. Who cares what you think and why does it matter to you? If you don't care about a streak, good for you. If you want to have a streak for days logged into the app but don't care about diary entries, good for you too. And if you log into the app and use the streak as days making diary entries, bravo, to each their own. But don't minimize what others are doing or trying to accomplish.

    People are on here seeking info on how to fix something that's important to them. I lost a 5986 day streak of actually logging food. The app only keeps 10ish years of food entries then starts wiping them. The reset feature only lets me reset to 3941. Put in any other value higher than that and you get an error message. How do I get my 5900 plus day streak back? I've been logging since 2009. If you have nothing positive or helpful to add, kindly move along.
