Fighting against depression
Hi everyone! I used to be an amateur triathlete in the past. Now I’m sedentary, overweight (~15 Kg) and have injured knees that prevent me for running and cycling but not for swimming. Despite that, it’s been so hard to get active again because I fight against Depression too. So I’m also interested in making new friends to…

Hi guys, Has there been any update on the Garmin:MFP sync? I'm getting crazy steps, which aren't being reflected (some days close to 22,000 steps). It'd be super helpful for this feature to return. Thanks

Why are there two different prices for Premium? Why can't I pay the cheaper one?
I'm a former Premium user. I discontinued my subscription after my personal information was exposed in MFP's data breach. I'd like to join again. MFP advertises a premium subscription for CA$11.99 per month through a browser and CA$27.99 per month if I try to subscribe through the app. I can't afford to pay yearly right…

Smart watch/fitness tracker - can't decide

I've been on and off on MFP for the past 10 years but started up again a month ago and been diligent with food scale. My main focus is…

Garmin Steps not registering with MFP calories
Hi, My Garmin Steps calories are not being counted because MFP calories are higher. This makes sense as a principle but I’m not sure where the MFP calories are coming from? For example. I did 12k steps on Garmin with 2685 calories burnt. On MFP there were 3297 calories with 281 from exercise I logged. So MFP is getting…

Calorie burn accurate?
Hi all! I was checking in to see if someone can help me. I feel like MyFitnessPal overestimates the calories I burn in a day - I have it hooked up to my garmin watch. I am also the heaviest I have ever been so I am wondering if I am just burning more calories faster because I am bigger. Just as an example, I am 5’6” and…

I just unlinked my garmin vivofit 4 and will be manually adding exercise calories
So I need a quick tutorial. My garmin's gone wonky after having the batteries replaced. It was pretty consistent on the exercise calories it gave me and the calories were consistent when I had it linked. I do a lot of exercise but, instead of giving me a usual tdee of around 2000/2100 calories, all the exercise I add is…

Fitness tracker - some advice please
Hi everyone, I'm considering getting a fitness tracker to use alongside mfp. From reading up on them, I know steps and calories from steps can be synced from fitbits to mfp, but do any trackers sync across actual workouts (eg, spinning, weights etc) as I'm more focused on actual workouts rather than steps. I can't seem to…

New!
Hello, everyone! I've been using MFP since October to track with, and am now getting deeper into it. I especially need to get a handle on my carb intake, which is too much, as I've been told I'm pre-diabetic, and also my cholesterol is creeping up. I'd like to think I don't need to lose weight, but losing a few would…
