Bulking For Hard-Gainers
I'm starting a 4000 calorie diet with a 40-30-30 split. After 3 years of going back and forth between 170-200 I've decided to throw my temporary happiness to the wind on the road to my long-term goal of 225lbs for absolute satisfaction of beating my metabolism and achieving my goals. The hard part...eating this much in a…
Natty or Not

NYC, 10 years vegan, lifelong martial artist, yogi, new to food logging
Always lead a pretty active lifestyle but never stressed too hard about calorie or weight gain as I burned it all off. Just hit 30 and the rumors are true, you have to start watching what you eat even if you’re extremely active as I am! I’m an arborist, climber pruner for work, do Muay Thai, kyokushin karate, mma and bjj,…
Disabled fitness gurus/professionals?

First Time Bulking
I have a lot of question for this topic, I have been training for 2 years my main goal since the beginning was to loose weight and I did, by stupidly being in a caloric deficit for about 1 year... YES I lost the weight but I never felt that I looked the way I wanted... because I was never able to build muscle; so now...…

Muay Thai/Martial Arts Accountability Partners

I've been doing Muay Thai for almost a year and it'd be cool to be able to have a community who can relate to it all. I'm also a lady trying to build…
Meal Planner with access to 'my meals'
The meal plans are currently limited to the MyFitnessPal recipes. Access to a blank meal planner that we can then pull our own recipes, along with the MF recipes, into would make weekly meal planning much easier and avoid having to use other apps or spreadsheets. Being able to scroll across a whole week that easily and…

Body image issues after losing weight?
This is a subject that I didn’t realize I would need to address but…well…here I am. Does anyone who has lost a lot of weight struggle with body image?

Body measurements
Hey all I’m still getting used to figuring out all that is included in this app. I’m not seeing anywhere that I can track body measurements like inches lost/gained.. is there a place to do that in MFP? If not, does anyone have a good suggestion on an app you use to measure your progress? I love having more than one visual…
Does it matter if you start the week with upper or lower?
I do a 4 day upper/lower split. I normally start the week with heavy legs then arms next day. I read somewhere you should do heavier days towards end of week to recover? My arms tend to get tired on lower days (short girl probs) so wondering if I should flip it, and start the week with bench press/upper day then "heavier"…
