To lose weight, can you eat back the calories you burned during exercise?
I want to lose 10 lbs and get toned by summer. My current calorie deficit is about 1450 calories per day. Is it ok to eat my calories back that I burned during exercise or is better to just stick to my 1450?
Looking for a few good friends.
I'm back to the meat grinder again. Maybe this time will be a bigger success. I'm 53 years old and 300lbs. So, I need to lose a lot. I want friends who can be supportive while still appreciating a good joke or story. We can swap ideas and recipes or just hang out and talk about our funny kids. If this is you, add me as a…

2 different phones show different options when searching the same thing?
My wife and I searched for exactly the same meal to put in our apps (homemade vennison caserole), and both had different options offered to us. Hers offered vennison sweet potato caserole as the first option. But mine I couldn't even find that. Anybody know why MFP would only show a particular meal for one of us, but not…

Search food log
I would love to be able to have a search function for specific foods within my total log. Sometimes I’ll randomly make a really good meal, but don’t know what day. Or I went out to eat and can’t remember how I logged it. If I could search a specific food i.e. I know I used jalapeños, I could search jalapeños in my log and…
Gluten Free/Heart Healthy
I'm looking for dinner ideas. Hubby needs gluten free, and I need heart healthy. I need some recipes that would suit each of our diets. Any help is appreciated!
Splitting Added Sugar out from Sugar counts
I am tracking on MFP, and find the macro tracking usually useful. However, my diet is high in fruits and vegetables that have a pretty high sugar count. So I am consistently warned that I go over my daily sugar intake, then recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables. It would be really helpful if the app could…
Don't feel that hungry often
Has anyone ever noticed reduced hunger since the start of a weight loss journey? I still eat 2-3 times a day for nutrition and health, but I never feel hungry when I eat them. For example, if I have a protein shake with banana for breakfast, I don't feel hungry until dinner. Is this normal?

Fueling Your Future in 2024 and Beyond
I'm back! It's been years since I've actively posted. Sadly, I regained at least 10 pounds since the holiday season started last October, 2023; however, I'm determined to get back -- and stay -- on track to fuel my journey to living a fabulous future. Yesterday, I discovered a set of pens with affirmations on them. I used…
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.

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?
Recipes and meal prep
I work long shifts and sometimes only have a spare 5-10 mins to pop to the staff room, inhale a snack and return back to work. Looking for food/meal ideas. Something that can be prepared the night before and can preferably be eaten cold. Current meal choice is a sandwich but I'm trying to reduce carb intake and increase…
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…
Stuck at home! Eating everything in sight!
Well two weeks after hitting my goal of losing 100lbs, I've gained some back. This week I've been stuck in the house due to a winter storm, I'm from the south we don't do snow & ice, lol. So I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in, I have been an eating machine at night. I've done this before, lost a bunch of weight…
