Gamification / Achievements
Add badges for answering questions, posting regularly, or supporting others (like StackOverflow or Duolingo). This would motivate engagement and build a stronger sense of community.

Just beginning (again)
Hello! I used to be very athletic in my early 20s and for a few years I neglected my physical health. I'm starting out (again) and trying to get healthy again with jogging and hiking. My diet has been an issue and definitely want to improve that.

Advanced Search & Filtering
Right now, the search is basic and not very user-friendly. An improved search with filters like by date, by most active, by tags, by user, or by popularity would help people find existing answers instead of creating duplicate threads.
-
Progress Journals / Accountability Threads
Other forums (like Bodybuilding.com, Reddit’s r/progresspics, or dedicated fitness apps) let members keep a personal progress log thread. MyFitnessPal could add a section where users can maintain ongoing accountability journals—with features to track updates, progress photos, or milestones in one place.

Breakfast tips
I suck at eating breakfast and I am a college student with no stove. What are good healthy and easy breakfast ideas people have? I appreciate any and all help as it helps towards my weight loss journey.
-
Tagging System Instead of Only Categories
Right now, topics are only grouped into broad categories. Adding a tagging system (like #nutrition, #strength-training, #beginners, #accountability) would make it easier to filter posts and find relevant discussions across categories.
-
Upvoting / Best Answer Feature
Instead of just “liking” a post, members could upvote helpful answers or mark a “Best Answer” for questions. This would make it easier for newcomers to spot the most useful replies without scrolling through pages.

Add back brand search in the diary
I just wanted to leave some feedback on a recent update. The search feature for adding foods to the diary is not searching the brand section of a food anymore. I'm no longer able to search "kraft" to find kraft mac and cheese for example. I'd greatly appreciate if that functionality were added back, as I used it very…

Newbie tips and suggestions ?
I’ve come to a point in my life where I’m discontented and disconnected with my body. I’m 20 years old, and have went from being active and full time athlete as a juvenile, to a completely sedentary adult.

Emotions around going over calories
I’ve been wondering what it’s like for you all to go over your allotted calories for they day. I’ve had a bad cold this week and weirdly i’ve been super hungry (maybe it’s my body needing more energy to fight sickness after eating below maintenance for over a month). I ate about 400-500 calories over my deficit yesterday,…
