Hi everyone!
My name is Bennie, and I just joined MyFitnessPal to stay consistent with my weight loss journey. I’ve been trying to eat cleaner, cut back on high-calorie late-night meals, and just make smarter food choices overall. I joined to stay motivated, track my progress better, and learn from others on the same path. If you’re…

Weight Loss
Hi everyone, I just started premium membership to get a meal plan. I’m excited to stick to it and eat only that. I want to lose 22 pounds to meet my goal. After the first 20 pounds I lost it has been difficult to lose anymore. Has been three years of plateau. I do Pilates 4 times a week and some elliptical and still my…
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…

meal planning
I am giving the meal planning feature my full attention! I am SOOO tired of thinking about what to eat. Does anyone know how i can alter a recipe within a plan? For example, tomorrow just happened to have planned a chef salad with bacon in it for lunch & a pasta dish that includes bacon for dinner. I’m not going to have…

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!? Is this an every week price or is this a few weeks, like I'm absolutely floored at the price and thought I'd be spending…

View ingredients when adding to diary
Currently the only way to see the ingredients and instructions for a recipe is to go to More>Recipes>Find the recipe>Edit. That’s a lot of clicking to see some information I want to quickly get to. What I end up doing is that I go to add something to the diary but then I can’t remember how much is in a serving or what…
Have MFP do the calculations from serving size to what amount you use
This, imho, is where MFP fails epically. The user must calculate the amount take to coincide with the serving size that is labeled on the product. I am more than willing to put that data in, but what I want is when I serve my portion, I put in the amount I serve. For example, serving size of Thai's unsweetened coconut milk…
How do I search for recipes?
This question was last asked in 2012. I figure somethings must have changed in 11 years? I'm looking for a database of recipes that are gluten free with certain types of vegetables. Does that exist? If not, why not? Thank you
Pasta- how much I should be eating
Hey guys. So I’m confused. I buy my pasta from Aldi- the spiral Remano and on the package it says per serving for uncooked it’s 100g and for cooked it’s like 240g. So if I were to weigh 100g of uncooked and I record that. When that cooked do I eat the whole thing or do I have to weigh out 100g of cooked? I’m really…

Time for a change
Hi everyone, I’m a new app member looking to loose weight and get fit. I’ve tried to loose weight previously and following a diet I managed it no problem, having had my 3rd child I’m finding it hard to do the diet/weight loss again.
