Meal macro % math problem/issue
Has anyone noticed any errors in the math of the meal macro numbers? I just logged 3 items (eggs, cheese and avocado) to see how much fat is in an omelette. The individual items are correct, but the "meal macros" are completely wrong. This is a HIGH fat meal, but MFP says it's 75% protein and 23% fat. Again, if I add up…

Reading meal macros

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.

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…

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…
