A feature that allows a user to cycle their macros (carb / calorie cycle)
Currently a user can customise their daily nutrition goals by setting custom daily goals, this is ok, but it would be very useful to be able to take this customisation one step further by setting custom goals based on the workout intensity for a specific day. For example, to be able to set macronutrients for the following…
Adding Food To Diary After Editing
Whenever we need to edit an item it would be great if the option to add it straight to our diary was available After we edit it now we have to go back to our diary and search again. This problem was here when I first found MFP over 10 years ago. I'm back and it still hasn't been fixed. Is there a reason why it can't be…
Allow negative amounts when logging
I use recipes extensively and often do a one-off modification that excludes an ingredient. So for example my standard smoothie includes a banana. If I skip the banana it would be great be able to log the smoothie as a single item and then subtract the banana by setting the amount to -1.
Allow fractional servings when creating a recipe
When I create a recipe I want my serving size to equal 100 grams. This allows for ease and accuracy when measuring up a serving. An example: if the recipes ingredients total weight is 1268 grams I will round up to 1300 and divide by 10 to get the number of servings, 13. It would be more accurate if the input field allowed…
Allow deductions/negative quantities.
Meals are often listed here is a complete form. Let's say I buy a supermarket salad that comes with a dressing, but I don't use the dressing, the nutritional information includes that dressing. It's possible to find values for the dressing and do the math to create a new food (e.g. "xxx salad without dressing") but it…

food recs based remaining nutrient needs for day
Hello, myfitnesspal (MFP), You know what would be cool? ... If the app recommended foods to eat to close my calorie gap, and only in the nutrient bins i need. for example: let's say I have 300 calories left to eat today, but i've already consumed my daily goal for carbs ... but still have a gap on fat and protein ... it…
Recipe notes
Consider adding a notes field when creating a recipe.
Gym buddy
Create a feature where users can find a like-minded gym buddy in their area to work out together.
Anti Inflammatory Plan
I'd love to see this included as an option for people who suffer from the effects of inflammatory foods, myself being one of them.
The ability to favorite a food
Make it so you can favourite a food, where when adding a food to a meal, you can choose from your favourites list. This is a pretty stable feature that is missing in the app.
Automatic fasting timer
I wish the fasting timer would start automatically, let’s say 15 min after my last meal of the day. I always forget to start it, and then the next morning, most of the time I forget to log it. Then I have to try to log a bunch in a row. 🤦🏼‍♀️ really not convenient for me. I use the time stamp feature for my meals. It could…
In app, food suggestions based on remaining macros
Is there a feature in this app that makes suggestions on types of food to eat based on the macros you have yet to hit for the day? For instance, let’s just say you have 30 g of protein left for your macros and 6 g of fiber, it would recommend three egg whites or something like that. Is this a feature on this app or will it…
Option to eat back a percentage of exercise calories
I would like to see a feature where you choose what percentage or fraction of exercise calories to target eating back. For me, the toggle on/off switch isn’t very helpful. I find that exercise calorie estimates are quite high…so I’m left choosing between eating back only some of them, being under my calorie target and…
Additional views into data via widgets
It would be nice to be able to see additional data in the widgets . . . I am thinking like things such as weight, steps, water consumption (and the associated rates, interpolated consistently over the last 5 data points, or something similar). Thanks.
Track excercise minutes per week in PROGRESS section
I can set a goal of how many workouts/minutes of excercise a week I want to do in GOALS section, but then I can’t track it in PROGRESS section. Please add this feature.
The ability to make your own serving size for a food
Very often when I'm tracking bread, the serving size for 1 slice is usually incorrect or completely missing. This is very annoying and makes tracking a lot harder. Please make it so you can create your own serving size for a specific food, so that serving size is saved in your account and is only active for you. Thank you.
Not tracking weight loss!
Recently the app removed 6 weeks of weight updates and changed my calorie goals - please fix! I cannot enter a new weight.
Glucose feature for non diabetics
I would like there to be a feature that scores each food for its glycemic index and maybe even gives an estimated stability score based on the days food consumption. Without having to give actual blood glucose readings. Keeping the sugars stable is key to weight loss and maintenance.
Ability to manually enter steps
Since many of the health trackers I have used do not sync with MyFitnessPal at all, and don't sync well with Google Fit it would be nice if I could manually add my steps for the day like I can manually add my exercises.
enter recipe
I would like it if the personally recorded foodstuffs were displayed first when entering a recipe. When cooking, you tend to use your personally preferred foods that you have saved.
Change Weight Entry Page
It would be much more convenient and efficient if the new date/weight entry section was at the TOP of the screen, instead of at the bottom.
Fitbit Friends OFF
How can I add my Fitbit Device but NOT allow friends access. I shouldn’t have to allow MFP to have access to my Fitbit Friends in order to synch the data about ME.
Meal planner
Please create a meal planner option where one can plan own meals for a week. Not pre set meals. The planner needs to have a summary block indicating the cals and macros for that day.
Search Filters for Food Logging Database
I have been an intermittent member since 2017 and feel the biggest bugbear that drives me to fall off the wagon is the lack of ease with daily food logging. Firstly I’d like to say - this is not just MFP daily food logging is frustrating and time consuming. MFP has come along way since I first started using it, I…
Add Obe classes
Please add Obe Fitness information to the exercise menu options.
Step tracking
I have a step tracker that isn’t on the list of options to connect to. It would be nice if there was a Bluetooth option to connect. Or if you could manually enter your steps.
Weekly rolling counters
Each day has goal calories and macros. An option to enable rolling counters would be useful. Any deficits or overages should be rolled into the next days counts. Each week, the counters would reset to the base goals. This is useful for tracking calorie deficits over longer terms as well as macro imbalances that need to be…
Ditch the green check-marked "Verified" entries
I just found out the hard way that the "verified" food entries aren't actually verified by any reliable source. One "verified" food I was logging was off by hundreds of calories. The information about these foods claim that they can be trusted. It would be better to eliminate them altogether instead of claiming they can be…
