Mackie Nutrition Scale?
I came across this scale while looking for something that I could bring on the road with me: https://www.mackiescientific.com/ Has anyone used this before? It looks like it has it's own food database plus you can add your own foods and recipes. I know that free apps can do the same, but the nice thing about this being in a…
New here because of Genopalate
I did Genopalate (have tried EVERYTHING short of bariatric surgery) and got my micronutrient recommendation along with a bunch of other fascinating info. They suggested MFP to more easily track nutrients. I've been at it less than 2 weeks. I'm an RN, and thought I was doing the right thing with my food intake ... just too…
Best macros for weight loss
Guys what is the best macros for fat burning according to your personal experience Note: i don't do sport due to my busy family life
IPA, antidepressants, menopause, and macros, oh my!
I've used MFP intermittently for a long time, with good results when I was younger. Then the accident and four major surgeries later my life is radically different. I used to be an endurance athlete....now I have to come in for a rest just from cutting branches in the yard! In the last 10 years I've gained about 10-15 lbs…

Not Wanting to Re-invent the Wheel
Can anyone share their "perfect" meal plan for one day or one week? I'm having a hard time hitting my desired macros. I know yours most likely won't match mine, but I'd like a starting point. Myfitnesspal doesn't remember my previous meals from a few years ago when I was more disciplined. *This question is going in tech…
Need some help meeting my macro goals!
Hello everyone. I recently suffered from some serious gallbladder attacks and kidney stones along with stomach ulcers, so I've changed my diet completely. I'm female, 5'6 and 245 lbs currently, and though I'd like to lose weight, I'm more trying to eat low fat, low cholesterol, low sugar and no dairy. I eat lots of veggies…
Breakdown of macros
I hate the new update on MFP. I can't tilt the screen to see the breakdown of macros anymore to show how much of what I'm consuming each meal. 🤬🤬🤬 Anyone else notice this change? Am I the only one upset?
Macro confusion
Hello, admittedly I have no idea what a healthy breakdown of macros would be for a keto vs low carb diet. What is best for maximum weight loss? Right now my daily limit is set for 900 calories which seems low.
Allow total macros consumed or macros left on diary overview
I'm using MFP to try to hit my protein goals each day, and stay within a calorie range. Rather than seeing an overview of my macros "left," counting down, I'd like to see a status of my macros consumed. This would allow MFP to be less diet focused for individuals who are taking a more flexible approach. I'll also find…
Myfitnesspal not syncing nutrition further back than when I got my iphone
So I’m just about to get an Apple Watch so I’m sorting all my data syncing with apple health before hand. I’m having one problem with myfitnesspal. But the problem is that very specifically the nutrional info I’ve tracked with myfitnesspal (calcium, iron, sodium, etc) is only syncing onto apple health back until around the…
Understanding Fat Goals
I am having a hard time tracking meals to be high calorie, lower fat. Even some of my meals show I have 21g of fat, but most of those are polysaturated and monosaturated. There might be 1g of saturated fat, no trans fats. Mind you, my alternative meals are very low fat, like a salad with maybe 1tbsp of dressing. I am just…
Macros
Hello everyone! I am thinking about starting the macro diet and want to know what your go to foods are. What should I stock up on? Thank you for your advice!
Could we get 6 macros to track instead of 5?
Hello, I was wondering if maybe the owners of this website would consider adding another slot to track macros? I would really want to track protein, but i'd have to get rid of either saturated fat, total fat, sugars, or sodium to do that which I feel is unoptimal. It's not even a paid feature from what I can tell to add…
Macros ratio
Hello, I'm on a calisthenic journey since 2021. I managed to lose 15 kg and build some muscles. Today I downloaded my fitnesspal app to calculate my macros and set some future goals : the question I have, the app set me a macro ratio of 50% carbs (around 230g , 30% fats, 20% protein) ; doesn't it seem like too many carbs…
My intro!
Hi! My name is Mo and my fiancé and I have started personal training for our wedding in about 1.5 years. I’ve never really logged food before, so I’m very new to tracking food and macros. Excited to share this journey with y’all!
What macros percentages do you use, and why?
I'm trying to decide what macros percentages I want to use. My goals are to eat better to manage PCOS (less refined sugar and refined carbs). I'm not sure what to choose since there's a lot of confusing information online about the relative health of various macro breakdowns and whether they lead to various diseases or…
Alternative to Shakeology
I e been buying shakeology and have great luck with it but the price is killing me. I am a 65 year old woman and I am focusing on 50% macros in protein. I would love some recommendations from others for a high quality protein powder that won’t break the bank

Old fat boi getting into it again...
Hey everyone. I'm Darron and I'm a fat lad who was in denial for so so long. I used to be a workout freak in my youth, fit, young and in to everything fitness orientated. Then life took over. I got married, had kids, got lazy, then the weight started to increase over time. Nothing major, just that odd pound here and there,…

57 year old Newbie!
POST MENO. Hi-Trying to figure out why I can’t lose 12 lbs! I’m an active person with 3 grandchildren from 1-7. I’m fat pone from my knees to belly. I figured maybe I needed to go the macro route. Since I cook my own food I thought this app would be helpful by taking pics of my food! Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks,…
Macros for dummies
Hey there! I just started with MyFitnessPal and signed up for it to tell me my macro info. Here's a few things I've run into today: - I don't think I'm going to use all of the allotted calories...I'm not supposed to eat all of those if I'm not hungry for them, right? - Same kind of deal with the macro counter. If I'm not…
Verify "verified" entries
I had a little time on my hands this morning, so I checked macros within verified entries that I consume consistently. I was surprised at how common misinformation was going into some items. I found similar errors when entering a barcode as well. Check your entries and don't rely on "set it and forget it" logging.
Exercise and Calorie Deficit
Hey everyone it's my first my post here and I am really struggling. I have been on a weight loss journey for over a year. I have lost a total of 27 lbs (not complaining) but now I am at a point where I am eating 1,560 calories per day AND working out 5 days week (3 days of resistance training 30 minutes) and 2 days of…
Struggle with Macros
I track both calories, and Macros (carb, protein, fats). However, try as I might, I cannot get a day of perfect match on all four! Does anyone else have the same problem, or better yet! Overcome the problem? I pre-plan three of my meals a week, and even on those days: no dice.
