How accurate is myfitnesspal calorie tracker?
Hi, so I’ve used my fitness pal on and off for years but it seems a bit off compared to other trackers I’ve used. When I plug my stats into a calorie calculator most of them say my maintenance calories is around 2100-2200 but my fitness pal says my maintenance is almost 2600. 500 calories off. How accurate has everyone…

Gym beginner overwhelmed with rules and macros and protein and calorie intake, calorie deficit:(
I’ve been at it for more than 2 months now and it still feels like a diet instead of a lifestyle, and I’m used to eating whole food with lots of fresh veggies and fruits but, I guess I lack organisation and consistency, adding to all that the disappointment when stepping on the scale, it’s not going back up, but not going…

Maintain or main 'taint?
Hello, fellow maintainers! I'm at that old goal weight once again. It brings such a mix of feelings: Wanting to stop worrying about my weight all the time and but also wanting to lose just a little bit more. Always an interesting moment. (I've been here many times!)

Localisation
When I go to add a treat for myself for example a McDonalds, I am showed so many options but mostly default to the US market. It would be good if there was an option to only show UK based foods with a button to search international. Also with shrinkflation most things are shrinking so I am often finding that I am adding…

A small post about big results (300 lbs -> 220 lbs)
