Name each Quick Add
Sometimes I use AI to tell my what my macros are for a certain dish. For example, I had some food from Chop Shop but got different sides. I'd love to be able to name the dish so I can remember what it was that I ate that day at the end of the week. Or perhaps we just have a notes section for each day that I can share what…

Option to check off a meal when done
I have specific macro targets per day so I like to pre-track my meals for tomorrow to ensure I’m hitting my full macro targets. It would be nice to have a feature that allows you to check off each meal when you’re done with that meal. The way the diary is currently set up assumes that you are only tracking the meal as you…

Macro Discrepancy Website vs App
Another inquiry/complaint about my macros different largely from the app to website… I've been searching for a solution and keep coming across posts from other users asking the same thing, but never any follow up with what happened and/or worked. Has anyone figured it out? Yes, I'm logged into the same account on both…

Macros Confusion
Hi, I have used 3 different macro calculators and every single one gives me a different number! It's so frustrating… they are like 500 calorie difference, some give me way higher fat and lower carbs and another one gives me a way higher carb count. How do I figure out which one is accurate…Help! If anyone is familiar with…

Correct macros incorrect calories
I am noticing that the calories doesn't match the macros. If carbs is 4 calories, fat is 9 calories, and protein is 4 calories my total calories are always off by 70 calories.

Mum, lifter, and back on track — anyone on a similar journey?
Hi everyone! My first MFP journey started about 10 years ago, when I wanted to lose weight and get back into working out. It was a long process, but I eventually reached my goals — and honestly, by the end it wasn’t even about the goals anymore. I was genuinely enjoying the journey, watching myself grow stronger and more…

The ability to see the macro in percentages by (per) meal.
I like to get my meals as close to my daily goal individualy as I can. That means I'm always close and it makes it easier to plan and adjust my plan for the day.

Newish
I'm new AGAIN! I've used Myfitnesspal with success off and on. I fell off the wagon and keep trying to get back on. I just turned 50. I want to be healthy and have energy for my grandkids. I need to lose about 15 lbs and tone up. I find it helpful to have accountability partners and encouragement.

"Remove macros" when logging an item.
This feature would be most useful when logging some type of entrees, and either only eating a portion of, or skipping entirely, some specific ingredients. Sample case; at a restaurant whose entrees have been entered into the food database, ordering a spaghetti and meatballs dish and only eating half of the noodles. Several…

Will the recommended calorie deficit and macros actually help me lose weight?
hi! I’ve been using my fitness pro for a couple years now but I’ve always had a coach or myself manually adjust my calories and my macros but now I want to try something different. I adjusted my weight and how many pounds I’d like to lose in a week and I’m wondering if the recommended numbers my fitness pal gave me will…

Types of Fat
In exporting my nutritional information from MyFitnessPal, I noticed there are 5 categories of Fat: "Fat", "Saturated Fat", "Monounsaturated Fat", "Polyunsaturated Fat", and "Trans Fat". However, the values for the last four fat types do not add up to anything close to the values I see for the "Fat" category. If the four…

Macros in the dark
According to an MFP survey, 88% of MyFitnessPal users say they don’t have any idea of how much protein, fibre, carbs, sugar and salt they consume daily. Then what exactly are they using MFP for.

Add Day Start Time Adjustment
By now start time adjustment is a feature in almost every tracking app, and with MFP being the #1 most popular I’m highly surprised it doesn’t have the option yet. I’ve seen threads about it on Reddit dating back over 5 years, yet night shift workers (like myself) are still scrolling back to the previous day to make sure…

Net carbs are not subtracting sugar alcohols
My net carb calculation never matches the label on the food. I often scan the bar code. It doesn’t seem to subtract sugar alcohols from the total carb macro. Also allulose and acacia gum should be subtracted from total carb.
