I am going to a chili cook off, how do I figure out calories for that?
There will be tasting cups for each, probably the size of the little water cups is what I assume.
Pre-workout meals from restaurants/drive throughs?
On the road and need some good options. :)
Hi. I add food to MyFitnessPal app then it disappears! Any ideas why?
I've been noticing the following: I add foods/beverages to MyFitnessPal app then they disappear! That happened sometime ago in a different suburb as well. I of course have to re-enter food but it gets really annoying as this issue is ongoing. And as I see nothing has been done about it. Any ideas when that will be fixed?

Im at a plateau, feeling upset!
I’ve lost almost 70 pounds but for the last month or so I’ve not lost ANY. It’s making me feel discouraged. I don’t know what to do. Should I go up to maintenance for a week or two and then back to a deficit? Any suggestions. Does MFP accurately calculate your deficit?
Create Favorites Section for foods
Most of us eat much of the same foods in the span of weeks. We stock our pantries or shop for them regularly. It is inefficient & time consuming to have to search for the foods again and again. Most recent foods is not cutting it either for me. I'd really like to be able to "save to favorites" foods that have 1) proper…

Beating sugar?
I was a 1-2 glass of wine per evening person for many years, until I finally dealt with the reality that that wasn't healthy. I am now down to 4-6 drinks per week, which is not perfect, but much better. Part of why I was drinking was to deal with stress. In order to cope with losing that crutch, I allowed myself to turn to…

Can’t believe how low calorie this was! Set me off right
I tried a mix of the baked oatmeal fad and this girl’s trick for losing 60kg. Her “trick” is to sneak in veggies and certain fruits to meals because they have low calorie high density (and of course, high nutrition). I modified hers a bit (she used zucchini but I didn’t have that on hand), I threw shredded carrots and…
