Where Has the Notes Tab Gone?
Hi There! Does anyone know if MFP got rid of the Notes feature? There used to be a Notes tab at the bottom of the daily diary that allowed you to create “Exercise” or “Nutrition” specific notes. I found this feature incredibly useful and used it regularly. It helped me stay accountable to myself and write out certain goals…

What do I do to replace the tea/coffee w/ milk in my diet?
I had six cups of coffee the other day, and because I had milk with it, it was more than 500 calories. I don't know what to do... I don't want to have straight coffee (no milk) because I've heard it stains your teeth. I'm only a fan of English breakfast tea, I don't think I like green tea or other options. I can't try milk…

Adaptive calorie goal
This is an idea for a new premium feature. Other weight loss trackers have similar features and in my opinion, it increases the chances of success and gives you confidence in reaching your goal.
