Hello!
Hi!!! I had this app a year ago but ended up deleted it and now I’m back! I’m trying to get more into the whole “being healthy” thing. Mentally and physically. I have something called Eosinophilic Esophagitis. This is caused by my allergies mixed with acid reflux and it makes my esophagus swell and makes it difficult for…

New here
Hi all, I’m new to community discussion boards. I’m trying to stay motivated. I’ve used my fitness pal to stay slim but now I’m focused on building muscle particularly, leg and glutes. I’ve been doing google searches and using muscle gain calculators to try to figure how many calories/protein I need to consume. It’s kind…

I’d like to be able to call myself confident and feel well in my own body! I’ve always tried to do it alone and have failed! Perhaps some likeminded support may help? Look forward to…
The Food Database Really Needs Curation and Editing
First off, although MFP is the best recipe builder and meal tracker I've found, it's woefully difficult to use, and also can't be exported?! Come on. Not even a CSV? Also, let's enjoy this glorious screenshot: Last time I check, mL wasn't a very logical or common measurement for a powder. Sure, it can be, I guess, but all…
Saving food items, not meals or recipes
I’m a long time user who would love to streamline logging time. I pay close attention to nutrition (including vitamins) not just calories. Even if the item has a green check, I have to open ‘show more’ on multiple choices to find one that looks sensible. Kale with 0 vitamin A? Keep searching. I’d like to save the good…

But it's been a year, and I'm literally the same weight. HELP. It's a long post, not sorry about it. Female- 6'1" - 200lbs - goal: 165lb A year ago, I decided to crack down on…
Fatigue!
Hi everyone, I’m back on MFP after several years after dabbling in intermittent fasting, noom, and intuitive eating (which is a valuable resource but misses the mark a bit IMO).I’m now going through the Beck Diet Solution to train my brain to get this job done. I’m aiming to lose 80 pounds. I currently weigh 228 pounds and…

Wedding goals
Hi! I've been here SOOOO many times before! I have lost 22lb since Feb, with yoyo dieting. In may, we booked our wedding for next June and I still have close to 100lb to lose to be in a happy place. I'm hoping for some support and help to keep me going. I'm having surgery on my hand next month which I'll keep me out of 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…

I can only drink it In some sort of latte, but don’t want to drink so much milk in the morning for no reason. So I’ve been mixing it with vanilla or chocolate protein shakes. That’s been…
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…

Recipes in fitness pal
Hi everyone, for the recipes stated in the app, when it says 'serves 4', do we have to divide the ingredient's weight and amount by 4, if I just want to cook for me only?
Getting started- confused calories and protein
Thanks
Copy Week &/or full days
It would be great if the app allowed you to copy a whole weeks nutrition &/or full days rather than just meals.

Accountability Partner
I am a woman in my late 20s. I'm looking for an accountability partner to check in with at the end of the day to make sure we both reached our goals for the day. Send me a message if you are interested. I am on EST time.
Reusable recipe templates
If I want to cook a food for the second time using the recipe from MFP, but cannot follow exact amounts of particular ingredients, I’m forced to create another recipe and enter new values for the same list of ingredients. Can we have a “Use recipe’s template” and add new values? An example: one paprika can weight 150 or…

Huel Black- opinions?
Hey fitness community! I've been considering using Huel for a while to have for my daily lunch.
