needing some help here re: heart healthy / low sodium
My husband recently had a triple bypass. They sent him home without diet restrictions, saying "just eat, you need to heal." A month later we've been back to the hospital twice with post-surgical complications, and he's now on diuretics. We've gotten all kinds of mixed advice by our medical professionals, from "just do what…
Can you add fiber to a Quick Add?
I have a recipe & it has all the nutritional information & I want to add it to quick add. It has 8 grams of fiber but Quick Add doesn’t have that as an entry. I do not want to write out the entire recipe in my recipes. Is there a way to enter a fiber count in my diary?

High Fiber Meal Plans
I recently tested the premium meal plans feature. I choose Flexatarian as my approach because it was described as "focus on unsaturated fats and fiber-rich food." However, the recipes that were selected weren't very high in fiber at all. So I swapped out all the recipes for recipes where beans were the key ingredient.…

Hello there my name is Megan, I am a 30 yr old recovering alcoholic who began my weight loss journey back in 2017.

Feature Suggestion: Auto-select Ingredients from Logged Meals for Easy Copying or Saving as Recipe
I often prepare meals that I eat over multiple days. When logging a meal (for example, lunch), I scan barcodes and weigh all the ingredients, which then get saved in my food diary for that specific day and meal. However, if I want to eat the exact same meal the next day or save it as a reusable recipe after I’ve already…

Quick High Protein Snacks
I am having a hard time meal planning preps. I’ll eat my planned lunches but then I’m going to cabinets and pantry and snacking out of bags. It’s a true problem, I know. The joys of food addiction history and a family that doesn’t support the journey. 🥴 I also know myself enough to know that if I pre-prep and portion and…
Nutritional information provided by MFP reliable?
hi, So I just uploaded a recipe from the NYT Cooking app and MFP calculates it as having 1400 calories per serve. Yet, when I look up the recipe’s nutritional information page in the app it gives me 605 calories per serving. WTF? Does anyone else find the MFP calorie calculations way off? I would like to know your…

I'm confused on weekly food planning.
Hello I'm new to using this app/service. I was using the meal planner for 1 week and it added all the items I needed for recipes to Instacart. My problem is that is says it's going to cost $247.06!?
