Food Diary Updates difficult to scan and find the information after the recent update (UX Feedback)
Hi, I'm a UX Designer and have some feedback on the Food Diary Page changes. It's not all bad (e.g. I can quickly copy a meal from yesterday), but the layout of the page was much better before. You've increased the spacing in the tables and between the sections which makes it harder to scan the page and find the…
Track Added Sugar
Hi! I'm meeting with a registered dietician, and they recommended I track Added Sugar, instead of Total Sugar. I couldn't find a way to update my goals for that, so I thought I'd recommend that addition as I'm sure others would benefit as well :) Thanks so much! -Mel
Looking for Advice – Easier Way to Save Specific Foods to “My Foods” Folder?
Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has encountered the same issue I have, and whether there are any tips, tricks, or workarounds that might make the process smoother. I’m pretty particular about logging accurate food data in MyFitnessPal, especially when it comes to macronutrients. I eat a wide variety of…
Low Calorie deficit
I need friends on here to be encouraged by. Iʻm struggling.
Are you Dishonest, Slightly Dishonest or Completely Honest?
I’d like to know, as I’m sure others would like to as well, how honest you are with your food diary. Do you over-calculate? Under-calculate? Do you miss logging in days (or completing the day) because you know you are way over your goals? I think just like AA, diaries are important not only for accountability and honesty,…
Should coffee and other drinks count for water
Hey. Just a thought but i have a hard time hitting my water goal but would not be a problem if i added in my black coffee. Shouldnt water in drinks count towards your water intake goals. And can we hook liquid in the meal diary part to the water oz part? Thx. Awesome app. 1st ever post. Thx
One meal (all ingredients added), spread over multiple meals
If I make a huge salad (942 g) to eat over the course of a few meals, I don't want to have to add the ingredients each time. Furthermore, maybe I'd like to add a little more of one or two of the ingredients to the overall meal. For example: today I made a 942 g "salad" that has 12 line items in it for a total of about 1500…
ALLOW MEASURMENTS IN GRAMS EVERYWHERE!!!
I search to find others share my frustration that you measure all your food in grams then occasionally MFP says screw you....find the 1 out of 20 in grams but here's 19 in fluid oz first. Wth.... I just don't get it. I'm typing in my breakfast today, all going well. Then Garbonzo beans only in cups??? Who measures beans in…
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…
Are the servers going bonkers? Diary errors:
Pretty much seems like diary is error'ing or timing out when trying to input items. Anyone else?
Tracking More Than 5 Nutrients
Everything I've seen says I can track more than 5 nutrients in MFP and, sure, I can see more than 5 when I click on Nutrients but, when I go to change which ones I'm tracking, I only see 5 drop down menus. Bottom line, is there a way to track more than that? Moreover, is there a way to add foods with more than that? The…
Why is iron shown as a percentage?
I need 8 grams of iron per day. I can't make that translate from x% as shown. Can I change it to grams? If not - what does the percentage mean - percent of what?
Anything on the menu?
When I first hit the trails running on a diet I read certain items should be removed, like bread or grain items but now I understand that anything can be on the menu just so long as you control your intake. For example there was a guy named John Cisna who went on a McDonald's diet, he wrote about it in My McDonald's diet,…
Show how item being added impacts daily macro goals
When adding a food or meal, I need to know where my macro targets for the day will be with this addition. Currently I have to fist go to dashboard, memorize current daily macros, then back to diary, add food, and mentally compare the effect of this item. Too many clicks!
Is this normal??
I think I don't need to say much. I wanna eat more but.. https://postimg.cc/tZVrprTp
Have meal type change automatically depending on the time of day.
Hello! One thing I was thinking would really help speed up the process of adding food would be that the meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack) would change based on the time of day. I do know it’s easy to change, but it would be the cherry on the cake for a feature like that to be implemented. Maybe the users can set…
Bug: food can be added without meal being selected, food not listed in diary
To recreate problem: * At the beginning of the day, touch the search field and display the food logging modal * Do not use the selection menu to select a Meal, but observe that none is selected * Touch the My Meals tab * Add a Meal * Touch the Diary icon and view the Diary The food items are added. The calories, and other…
Keeping Track of More Nutrient Goals (Vitamins)
One thing I really wish was the Nutrient list on MFP to add more Vitamins. Like keeping track of your daily B vitamins, Magnesium, etc. Has anyone heard of this being talked about or added?
Move cursor focus on food entry page
On the myfitnesspal.com/food/diary page, select "add food"; food/add_to_diary?meal=3 (or whatever meal #) appears. At this point, I have to touch the screen or manually move the cursor to the search entry box. It would make using this page much faster if the focus were shifted to that box upon opening the page. Thanks!

Is there an automatically complete food diary feature?
I'm sure this question has been asked but I'm not seeing it on search! I sometimes miss clicking "Complete Diary", which is silly because I keep up to date with it all of the time. Is there a way to automate this, so that maybe 11:59PM it automatically does it? :)
Is there a way to jump to days where you submitted things to diaries?
Meaning, I don't add to the diary every day, but let's say I did on January 11th. Can I click anything that would instantly jump me back there? As of now I only know to press the back arrow over and over until I get to days I used this, and I'd think there should be faster ways to filter for days that do have data while…
Remove the message that was added between Lunch and Dinner on the iOS app?
Yesterday's was congratulating me on starting the year off right. Today's says "Make Tuesday a move day". Can this be removed? I don't want the clutter in my diary.
Search for own recipes in Food Diary
It would be great to be able to search within the recipes tab when in the Food Diary. I love the recipes feature and I currently have three pages of recipes. Instead of looking through all of them to find the one I just had, it would be great to type in a search area so it can pop up easier.
Support Issue
I'm very disappointed how the Support Team handled the recent sync to other platforms outage. It left me with a strong distrust that any future issues won't be handled the same way. The opposite side vendor reports that My fitness never responded to the issue as well.
New phone isn't syncing with desktop:
UPDATE: Looks like it just took a while to sync all of my entries. I was freaking out, hehe. Thanks! Hi, I just got a new phone (iOS). Installed MFP and logged in on phone, but it's not syncing with MFP on desktop. Anything I can try to get this working? All of my previous entries are currently blank on my new phone.
Hi
I'm Debi and I was an app user a long time ago. I have found I really need to know exactly what I am eating. This app is great for that. I am working toward bringing my cholesterol numbers down. I do need help. Does anyone know how to remove an item on a meal? I appreciate the help. Thanks
Kilojoules conversion
Hi, it would be great if you had a kilojoules to calorie conversion when adding foods or even just as a calculator on the app? Some food labels only show kilojoules but it's no good if you are counting calories, I know it's roughly a quarter the value but an accurate reading would be great to let me know if a certain food…
