Lost 100 in 2010 with myfitnesspal and back to do it again
Hi Everyone, I am new for the first time since 2013, in 2010 I lost 100 pounds with myfitnesspal. Unfortunetly I gave myself an eating disorder in the process and really struggled for a bit. Since 2020 I put back on all the weight, I am a bit devastated as I worked so hard and kept it off so long. I hurt my back running a…
Set macro goals per meal
I’ve love to be able to set macro goals per meal, I have a set amount of carbs for a pre workout snack/ amount of protein post workout and I have to keep checking back to my nutrition plan to make sure I’ve got the right number, I’d love to be able to set these up per meal so I know what my target is.
Create 'Foods' from 'My Meals'
I like creating own meals. Lets say chicken schnitzel. When i log in for dinner, every little ingredient is listed (chicken, flour, greek yoghurt, panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, spray oil) which is fair. But if I can just list 'My Chicken Schnitzel' my dairy wont be so cluttered! Sure I have created a 'Food' from my recipe…
Hi!!
Hello all my name is Lexy and I joined this app because I have cancer And am trying to push my self to better health through a ketogenic diet and exercise if anyone has any tips or tricks they use to keep their carbs low and fat high I would greatly appreciate all the advice you can give me!
How to reduce fat intake?
My target is 52g of fat a day, but I’m always above that because I have olive oil, nuts, and peanut butter every day. If I eat meat it’s lean (chicken breast, tenderloin). I do meet my protein target, but I’m above my fat target and always below carbs target.
Build muscle stay lean
I lifted, lost weight...maintained and then in sept decided to cut some more. Lost 13# now at 142#...looking to build muscle. Nervous as increasing calories to get back to maintenance... which is necessary to build muscle but always conscious of fat. Just looking for chatting with others with same concerns, journey
Getting recommended foods based on macros.
I was previously using noom where foods fell into categories (red, yellow, green) and calorie goals were broken up by category. You could also easily see types of food in each category. Obviously MFP is more advanced and tracks goals by more detailed things, like fat, protein, and carbs. And foods contribute to all…
Macro/nutrient breakdown per meal
When I log a meal, I’d like to be able to click on it and view macro and nutrient breakdown for it So that I can track and plan my meals without having to click on individual meal components to calculate macros
Why do over all macros show as more than what we’ve logged?
When I check my macros, it states I’ve had 16g of carbs. But when I’ve counted the carbs from the individual items manual logs, my carbs are less than 9g! So what is the 16g?!
High Protein low fat
Any suggestions on how I can keep my fat low but Protein high , seems to be quite challenging...

Calculating Macros
In the past I have liked high protein macros. A few years back I went to a bariatric doctor, where I also spoke to a dietitian. The plan they put me on according to a friend who does body building was equivalent to around 1200 calories a day. I did a plan like this years ago and fell of fast and gained even more. In…
Besides using protien supplements, how can I reach 117g of protein a day?
My dietician and physician set my macros, and while I am seeing some good change in my health, I am getting very tired of protien shakes/powders. I tried to reach my goal of 117g of protien without it several times, but I struggle to even get close. Any advice on creating meals with 35g to 40g of protien without some kind…
How important is it to hit your Protein macros?
So I've tracked Macros from time to time, and it is generally very effective for me. However, I've never been able to hit my Protein goals. For example, right now my goal is 163g - but even with protein powder and trying to super high protein meals, I'm still short close to 40g. I've always had this issue, and never had…
Using My Meals to record macros
Hi. I’m a newby. I have premium and want to create a meal and only enter the macros.I get premade meals that show some metrics but no food volume. Is it possible to create a meal with no ingredients and add the macros manually? I love quick add but I can’t add a title or image there. Thoughts?
Show how item being added impacts daily macro goals
When adding a food or meal, I need to know where my macro targets for the day will be with this addition. Currently I have to fist go to dashboard, memorize current daily macros, then back to diary, add food, and mentally compare the effect of this item. Too many clicks!
Accountability in tracking calories
Hey everyone! Existing member here but first time I've really started using the app properly. Anyone new to tracking calories and macro's and been doing it for a little while and noticing a difference? I've been using for a couple weeks and already lost 1.7kgs. I've found this app to be really helpful when it comes to…
Hi Friends! Help!!
Hello lovely people! I started Burn Boot Camp in Georgia and they suggested using MFP to help make changes. The only thing is…I’m absolutely horrible at tracking anything. I’m mindful of what I eat, but when I had a dietician (thank you BCBS for deciding not to cover it anymore) it was easiest to maintain my eating goals…
