Huge NSV - Post COVID cardio goal met
I know you all will get what a huge success this is. I had COVID in October 2023. I did several months of physical therapy before my doc and PT thought I could start light cardio on my own. When I started, I would get winded just walking from the car to the gym. It's been 6 months, and I've had a huge breakthrough in the…

Varying calorie goals by day
I’ve been learning about best practices for maintaining muscle while losing weight and I want to check my understanding… So if I have calculated a deficit of 300 calories, I’m wondering if I should eat at a higher calorie goal on days I am lifting weights. MFP does not attribute as many calories to non-cardio exercises (so…

How do Net Calories work?
Hii I'm new to the site and still getting a feel for how everything is calculated and set up, and though I've grasped the basics of the Net Calorie calculator, there's something I don't quite get. For example, my net calorie goal is 1,200. If my calculator ends up looking something like this; 0 (food) - 50 (exercise) = -50…

exercise database
I feel like there needs to be a lot more different exercises in the database because if it isn't something completely generic like walking or running, you're not gonna find it. and I don't know how many calories I burned while doing my timed workout, its on time intervals and not on set amounts or reps.

How can I manually add my walking steps?
I have an old-fashioned pedometer. I know how many steps I do in a day but it’s not an app and it’s not a Fitbit and I cannot sync it to the program. I cannot find a way to manually enter steps. This is very frustrating.

Small-but-effective modifications to the workout/exercises aspects in the app
The nutrition aspect in this app is good so far, but the workout/exercises aspect needs 2 main small modifications: 1. We need to be able to add the exercises that we've created into the workout routines. Another tab for exercises inside the workout routines tab to view the added exercises would be sufficient. 2. We need…

Number of leg days per week----Is more better?
Hi, So I only do 30 minute leg workouts, combining weighted squats, dead lifts and Romanian deadlifts. Can I do this every other day or is that too much. On the other days, I do a 30 minute pretty intense trail bike ride to get my cardio in (I have heart issues so cardio is important for me to do). Thanks for any advise!
