What is your biggest pet peeve?
One of mine is when people chew with their mouth open and even worse if they speak with food in their mouth.

Scale question
A couple weeks ago I started MFP and I have a 1280 cal goal to lose a 1 lb per week. I'm maintaining my weight so I haven't seen much difference. Maybe a scale with help. But im not sure how to utilize it. I see that others use a scale. How do you know how much food you need? Is there a guide that's easy to follow?

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?

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…

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…

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?

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…
