Meal Planning

Create 'Foods' from 'My Meals'
I like creating own meals. Lets say chicken schnitzel. When i log in for dinner, every little ingredient is listed (chicken, flour, greek yoghurt, panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, spray oil) which is fair. But if I can just list 'My Chicken Schnitzel' my dairy wont be so cluttered! Sure I have created a 'Food' from my recipe…
I am getting a month's worth of groceries all at once.
I know that I will have to take a number of days to make things, but first is breakfast burritos, High Protein Breakfast Burritos, Sheet Pan Burritos, and Breakfast Muffins. Each of the Breakfast items makes 10 servings each. I am focusing on that for now. I pick up my groceries today between 1 and 2 pm from Wally World.…
Recipes exporter
It would be useful to be able export recipes singly and/or in bulk. I have 300+ recipes in MyFitnessPal but the one I want to refer to can be hard to find. Being able to peruse some data (e.g. a set of recipes in TXT files; or json structures, etc.) would be much easier than the current methods in the app or on the website…
Howdy!
I’m new to Fitness Pal, which my daughter (PhD OT), highly recommended as I begin my journey with our Y’s new diabetes prevention program. This program requires a full 1 year commitment! My biggest hope is that I lose weight and, at long last, keep the weight off!! I’ve lost 50 lbs with Noom twice. While I still think that…
My Recipes search enhancements
I was recently trying to find a recipe for something I had made previously but wasn't able to find it. Over the years I've added a lot of recipes in Fitnesspal - 31 pages of them when I look on the website! - and trying to find them is NOT easy. I think it would be helpful if the recipes I added in Fitnesspal could be…
How do I search for recipes?
This question was last asked in 2012. I figure somethings must have changed in 11 years? I'm looking for a database of recipes that are gluten free with certain types of vegetables. Does that exist? If not, why not? Thank you
Decided to give posting a try - fell off but I’m back
Hi everyone, so I fell off for a while with tracking my calories and eating healthy and just staying focused and so I decided that maybe I should try posting for Accountability. In my defense, though I don’t need any, Christmas Thanksgiving, and then January, which is my three kids birthday month has been pretty difficult…

Back again
Hi everyone! I’m back, things have changed a bunch. It’s been a little over a year since I was active. I had knee issues and it’s been a long road. Bad slip in the snow in 2024. Not so much fun when you’re over 40. So I’ve picked up a bunch of weight due to not being active, and I have blood pressure issues. Time to get to…

High protein snacks for work
I a looking to get back into things in the new year and I have a desk job. I was wondering if you could share suggestions for high-protein snacks I can eat in the office. I am happy to make things from scratch.
Ability to put a bright green checkmark next to each food that is logged
I was thinking it would really be nice because I put all of my food for the day into MFP in advance that a bright green checkmark next to each listed and logged food item will be so nice to have so I can check off what I have eaten so far in the day at a glance. I think that would be very valuable.

just starting plant based eating- would love to connect with those who are doing the same
Hi - I haven't been on this site for years! But I think I need this - connection with others working on their health. I'm just starting plant based diet via recommendation from my doctor. I have some artery blockage and minimal heart issues. But trying to get cholesterol down naturally.
I'm looking for healthy recommendations that can be purchased at Walmart. Suggestions?
So full disclosure, I have a living situation that prevents me from being able to purchase fresh food. All of the foods that I purchase are to go type of meals like tuna bowls and the like. I don't have a way to change this any time soon so I'm looking for advice on items that can provide adequate nutrition while being…
Diabetes Meal Plan and Goals
I’m newly diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and struggling to set goals and change my diet. It would be great if the app had some specific guidance to help with that management!
What are some great meal prep ideas?
Hello, I’m looking to get back into meal prep. Something easy that won’t take long to make for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’m very active physically and go to work and school time. I’m in need of meals that can provide the energy needed to sustain what I do, thank you again!
Duodenal Switch
Hi! I had my surgery 10/16/23 and looking for others who want to do this journey together! My biggest focus right now is to start tracking nutrition and ramp up movement. Here's a link to join if interested! https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/145801-flip-the-switch-duodenal-switch-group
Is there a way to substitute the nuts or nut butter in recipes?
I am not allergic I just do not prefer them
amount of food and nutritions
How do I customize the amount of food I'm eating when I log food consumption? For example, if the only measure given for a food I've searched is 100 grams, how do I enter that I've eaten just 63 grams? Thanks in advance for your help!
Add AI integration
It would be great to have an AI nutrition or diet analysis to provide feedback on what we’re eating. It could provide suggestions for completing our macros based on items we’ve recently eaten.
How to manage feeling hungry most of the time
:/
New
I started this journey on September 1 and have lost 5 pounds. I’m loving the app details and have tracked every bite.
What to do.
So I have created a diet that gives 1530 remaining calories 300g remaining carbs 26g remaining fats 23g remaining protein 830mg remaining 87g remaing sugar My Question is as to what should I do now. I have basically loaded up on Protein powder, chicken, eggs and milk. I will also incorporate fruits, but what else can I…
MFP nutrition plans
Hi! Have any of you tried the nutrition plans provided by MFP? If so what did you think? Which ones did you like and which ones were not for you? I’m trying to lose weight and am mostly sedentary. I can’t add much exercise due to some physical issues so I’m focusing on diet. I find I am often hungry and am struggling to…
Can’t swap a recipe in a plan!
I am a new MyFitnessPal user. I opted for the premium membership. I am trying to set up my first plan. I chose the Low Carb plan. Day 1 tasks were completed yesterday. Day 2 - not so much. When I try to swap the pre-selected Lunch choice to a different one, I get a 503 error on my iPad, and a blank screen on my Android…
Coach Account
This is a little bit of a piggy back to anothers post but as someone who is getting started in the coaching business it would be SUPER helpful if we could have a coach account. I like a lot of the different aspects of MFP and use them in my own life. But as a coach, what I'd like to do is set up each client with a premium…
So for my cut do I need to eat 300 calories less than the day before or no?
People tell me I need to eat 300 cals less then the day before until I hit zero then start again but I don’t really get it can someone just explain cutting to me? I’m new to all of this
