Suggestions for macro dieters
Scale isn't budging since last week. I'm staying within my calories and I changed my intake to macros 40P, 40C, 20F. I'm not perfect but getting really close to daily goals. But no scale change. Any tips?
Moved here from Noom
Hello I just recently left Noom. Was part of it since 2019. But jumped ship. Landed here and I have to say that this App has a lot more to offer. I’m not here to complain about Noom. It just was not working for me anymore. So looking at this App I see so much more that I can glean off beside valor count fat/sugar/protein…
Returning from hiatus, send help!
Hey, what’s up everyone!? I’ve been on this app for some time now but I had a hiatus from the gym and healthy eating for some time now.

Wegovy
Hi y'all, I just got prescribed Wegovy, I hadn't started it yet, I have a few questions. I hear that low carb is the way to go for this...for those that are taking Wegovy or something similar, how are your macros/calorie counts set up? Also, what side effects have you experienced and how did you mitigate them?
Going with out cold storage for awhile!!!
Hello, I am planning a weird trip and cold storage is not going to be readily available. Stores and cooking equipment will be. I work a lot so prepping is ideal however storage is a small issue (or just an unsolved problem for now). I am not wanting to revert to my old ways of just eating whatever. I am looking for some…
Setting Macros
I joined to be able to track my macros established by my nutritionist. Every time I change it in Myfitnesspal it changes back. I cannot get it to stay with what I want. Any tips?

This is my 2nd time back in MyFitnessPal, as I recently gained 5 kilos / 11 pounds in just a few short months (not proud, but life happened). I had been…
Replacing “breakfast, lunch, dinner” with “meal 1, meal 2, etc”
As a lot of people are turning away from the traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner diet structure and moving towards having smaller, more frequent meals, it would be nice if the app gave you the option to ADD meals and to also change the names of meals (for example, “post-workout meal, meal 5”). As a competitive…

Calories/protein for recomp

Lock a macro
Maybe I am missing something but I can't seem to find how to lock a macro. As an example, no matter how much or little I exercise, I want to get 150g of protein. That's my goal, not more or less. Currently, any time I exercise a lot it suggests a lot more than 150g and when I have a sedentary day protein drops a lot. This…

Nutrition advice needed for Marathon Training
I have signed up for a marathon that takes place in November 2023. This will be my second marathon. My first was in April of this year. I did it in 4 hours and 17 minutes.

Asian Recipes That Fit Macros - Survey
When I was weight lifting regularly, I found myself hating most of the recipes that were recommended on weight lifting forums. I love cooking and could be described as a “foodie” so eating chicken and broccoli variations with little flavor was incredibly depressing. I ended up creating a huge spreadsheet of my favorite…
Chart for reviewing historical Marco trends to help review/set percentages easier
As a new user, I love how easy it is to track calories, and so much other stuff about MFP! The one areas I do not have a good handle on yet is what % to set my macro targets at. To help, I would love a way to better review historically how I have done against my macro goals. On the IOS app, the Dashboard tab has a GREAT…
A feature that allows a user to cycle their macros (carb / calorie cycle)
Currently a user can customise their daily nutrition goals by setting custom daily goals, this is ok, but it would be very useful to be able to take this customisation one step further by setting custom goals based on the workout intensity for a specific day. For example, to be able to set macronutrients for the following…
