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…

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…

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…

Reusable recipe templates
