New to MyFitnessPal & tracking foods
I joined per VShred nutritionist suggestion to help track my macros and foods. Hopefully this’ll make it easier as learning all this can be overwhelming. Crossing my fingers it’ll become automatic soon.

Help!! Calories Goal too high??
Hya, I am not sure how to get help with this .. I am overweight and trying to lose weight but exercising at same time.. I was talking to my coach today and he mentioned that I should be having around 360g of carbs, 150g Protein and 90g of fat per day. And I should be in the region of 2000 calories a day. When I try to set…
Query on healthy fat intake
Hi all, I am a novice to all of this but I have been reading a bit about that as long as you are eating real foods etc you are getting high quality nutrients. I have tried to reduce my carb intake as much as possible as I found I would be more tired after eating this sort of food. I have started eating foods such as eggs…
Delete Duplicate and Incorrect Foods
The number of duplicate and incorrect entries across all food types is staggering, and the problem continues to build, making it more and more difficult to log food accurately. It would be great if MFP would make moderating and/or cleaning up duplicate and incorrect food entries using an algorithm a priority.
How do you decide how many calories or macros?
So I see that you can go on and plug in your weight age and things like that and it’ll say here or use this many calories. And you can do the same to get your macros. I can’t help thinking that that is not specific to a person so to speak. I wanted to be able to do keto, but it doesn’t work out well for me as I don’t have…
Highest vegetables with fiber?
Hi everyone, I'm not new to MFP, but I'm on a new weightloss journey. I'm trying to eat better macros, and trying to learn about each of them. Today is all about the fiber. I'm not sure what the best vegs are. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Terry 🙏 ❤️
Compare Food Tool
I want to compare two foods in your food database side-by-side to more easily decide which item to purchase or eat, so that I can quickly compare macros and other key nutrients. You definitely do have the largest nutrition database of any of them -- so this is the natural place I want to use to compare foods. You have at…
Here to build knowledge of nutrients and muscle
Hi everyone, after being on noom for over a year and losing most of the weight I was aiming to, I am starting here so that I can better track my macros and gain muscle.

Reaching protein goal
I am to consume 143 gr of protein daily on a -2000 calorie budget. I’m eating eggs, yogurt, chicken breast, and beans. But I’m lucky if I make it to 120 gr, which is rare. Any suggestions?

Transitioning focus from calorie counting to macro tracking
TW - ED'S So, Starting from tomorrow I am going to transition my focus onto my macros instead of my calories to try and start feeling healthy again. I've been having a hard time recently with my relationship with food and have recently relapsed on my Binge Eating Disorder. I have lost 120 lbs through being on a calorie…
Vitamins limit?
This may be a silly question, but I had a cup of strawberries with my breakfast and saw that the alert was that I met my vitamin C goal for the day. So should I avoid vitamin c rich foods the rest of the day? When you hit a max of a macro nutrient, do you avoid going over those areas?
Allow one to Define Daily Macro goals using nicknames or labels
I have been using MyFitnessPal for several years and a Lumen Metabolic Tracker for a couple of years. The Lumen Metabolic Tracker creates daily macronutrient plans based on your individual caloric needs (maintain, lose, or gain weight) and your CO2 levels in the morning. Lumen breaks down the macro nutrition plans into…
👋 hello!
Hi all, Kate here, I've been using the app since August last year and it was hugely helpful in tracking foods to lose weight for my wedding (classic, I know), but found I really felt BETTER when I was tracking what I was eating, eating moderately, good foods at reasonable times of day, drinking less alcohol, and also…
Set Macros/Calories for specific # of weeks at a time for cut/maint w/o affecting prior entries
Ok so would like to be able to set macros for a number of weeks at a time. If I do a 6 week cut those set macros should not be affected when I end and go into maintenance this way I can go back and see where my set macros were at the time.
Should I change my calorie intake on rest days?
I’ve noticed that I move significantly less on rest days, especially because I have a desk job. Should I be decreasing my calorie intake on these days?

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…
