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…
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.

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 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.

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…

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
Ingredient-based Recipe Search
I work full time and have a family that is on a budget. This means that I am often forced to plan meals according to reusable ingredients in order to cut costs and minimize prep/cook time. Because of that, I often have recipes that operate either with leftovers from a previous meal, of, “the other half,” of a particular…

My meal plan.
I’m new at having a meal plan. I’m to the point where it says to pick my lunch recipe and then record it. As of now, I’m eating either a salad or lean cuisine for lunch. Can I do the recipe but eat it for supper?
