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…

Choosing entries
Hi everyone! I’ve been tracking my nutrition with MFP for 3 weeks now … and have gained weight. Sigh. I’m trying to lose about 15 lbs that my body very quickly put on over a couple of months with no changes in usual diet and exercise.

Goal Setting
Hello, I'd like to set my goals to a specific protein, fat, carb independent of the calories. When I change the macros, the calories change as well. How can I bypass this to get what I need. I am a premium member. Thanks.

Will going over my macros speed up my weight gain?
To make a long story short, I reverse dieted after a very long and restrictive diet and accidently ended up losing more weight in the process, making me mildly underweight by the end of it. Since the end of said reverse diet a few weeks ago, I've been eating in a calorie surplus in an attempt to bring myself back up to a…

What do you think?
Hi! I could really use some new input, and more importantly, a little reassurance that im on the right track 💪 Googling did not provide me with the right answer yet. 36 year old mother, 1.62m/63kg and been doing 3x weight training (home, weights) and daily dogwalks for 3 months now. No big results, so time to ditch the…

Why do my macros keep changing/resetting?
I keep setting my macros to a specific percentage for carbs/fat/protein and it keeps changing on me constantly. I think it stays for maybe a day and then resets to some arbitrary amount. Anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

Difficulty achieving Macro Protein intake.
Macros baffle me, and I cannot hit the mark! I usually manage not to exceed my 1200cal daily food goal. (It is a challenge, but I am pretty diligent). I enter all my food into MFP. I try to combine this calorie focus with MFP macro goals... but, my protein always falls short (I usually only eat between 30-60g protein). My…

Postpartum and General Weight Loss
Hi everyone! So I just gave birth to my 3rd baby two weeks ago. The weight I gained pretty much came off after giving birth. But I was well overweight before becoming pregnant.

Long Battle
It’s been a long road to get to where I’m at now. In 2012 I started my journey tipping the scales at 268#. I lost 85# but it took me 5 years to do. I was able to keep that off for 4 years. Then in 2022 I really started making a concerted effort to control my diabetes. I started losing weight again. Now after a 10 year…

What macro balance for losing weight?
Morning all I am new to MFP, and new to the idea of even thinking about macro balance. I am enjoying working to it and can get to my percentage targets within one or 2%. Usually under on fat over on protein and carbs, but mainly protein. Pre-MFP I would’ve had a lot more carb and a lot a lot less fat and it’s taken a bit…

MFP Website Macro bar(not sure what it's called)
I switch between the app and the website. On the website, it would be nice if the macro bar (shows how many calories, and how much protein, carbs, and fat is in each item logged) stayed at its position on the page so that it's easier to locate which column is which when you've scrolled down passed breakfast.

Macro Goals by Meal
I have noticed when I want to adjust my goals by meal, I can do so by calories either in number or percentage, but when you're counting macros and not calories, there's no way to switch that off. My calories aren't going to be perfect when I'm focusing on specific macrograms per meal. I would love if you guys could add…
