Why is MFP better than Facebook?

Is there really a reason to compare the two? I mean, it's not like an "either/or" situation.
To me, each site serves a clear and distinct purpose. I use MFP to track calories, to get motivation from others and to motivate others for diet and exercise purposes. Facebook is for my actual, real-life friends so we can keep tabs on each other's lives. The stuff I post on MFP isn't gonna be of much interest to my FB people, and the stuff I post on FB isn't gonna be of much interest to my MFP people.0 -
It's better because I'm not the only fat person on my friendslist. And I mean that in the nicest way. I feel comfortable here with people who understand what I'm going through in my weight loss journey.
LOL this post tickled me! After studying my facebook friends list, im one of only 2 overweight friends! Damn, i suddenly prefer this site to facebook too! )0 -
I am closer to my MFP friends than I am with most of my FB friends. I acutally like my MFP friends0

MFP is a tool I am using to enrich my life.
FB is a soul-sucking leach that slowly drains your life and will to do anything productive.0 -
On facebook I keep in touch with my friends and we laugh and joke about how drunk we were the last time we met and on MFP I'm all like "oh yeah I'm on a high protein diet and I eat clean" and I pretend to run and stuff. My RL friends would never believe that.0

There's a freeness of speech, people are passionate about health & fitness whereas this isn't the case with our friends and family.0

Hahaha agreed. Now shhh lets hope they dont.0 -
I don't get people judge me for all my good eating and fitness goals like I do on FB.
I don't post much on there about it at all now as they just don't have the same goals/views as me..
Its funny how one of my so called friends commented on how I'd changed and was a fitness freak when they also used to go to the gym 6 days per week and do double classes.. Pure jealousy on her part for not getting the results that I have from my hard work.. You can't just focus on exercise and not food, the two go hand in hand together..0 -
Cos its MFP and its just great!0

Facebook you put on a good front for friends, family and acquaintances....
MFP you are brutally (disgustingly?) honest with complete strangers.
Actually I partially agree with this...:-)0 -
