Time for lasting changes
Hi everyone, I’ve just come home from a 5 week walking trip across Spain. Have toned my legs a bit and lost a few lbs and now want to use this progress to make some lasting changes.

New to MyFitnessPal
After 5 years on WW, making transition to MyFitnessPal. I wanted to know exactly what I was consuming in micronutrients instead of "points". It's been a real eye-opener so far! Planning my proteins, carbs, fat, fiber, etc. takes some time but it's worth it. Looking for recipes that are no-sugar,anti-inflammatory so I can…

Kale & Chicken Soup
So we have a bearded dragon that we buy vegetables for, and I want to try and find uses for the large amount of leftover he doesn't eat, since he's just one small lizard, lol! This week we bought kale, and I'll be honest, I've never had kale before! But I knew it could be used in soup, so I made an experimental soup last…

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…

Intro, getting fit for a vacation.
Hello, I am here to get fit for an upcoming vacation and generally to lose some of the "covid weight". I know getting fit for a vacation is not usually considered a healthy motivation. That's just what has me finally taking action. That and the fact that I got a cast off yesterday after a minor ankle surgery. I guess that…

Meal Prepping Q's
Need some honest input 🙏 If you prep a whole weeks worth of meals, how many days worth do you freeze? Do you make two different options for lunch meal prep or eat the same thing? How do you keep costs down for meal prep? Do you prefer counting Macros or having a set Meal Plan? Thank you in advance for the wisdom 😊

High protein / lower carb snacks on a super strict budget??
Edit: I think I put this in the wrong place. Copying it over to the recipe board. I'm struggling with getting enough protein. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but pretty close. I don't eat much meat and prefer not to eat more processed foods than necessary (both a personal preference and a budget thing). We eat a lot of meals…

Option to "check" (✅) individual foods and whole meals after consuming them.
I always preplan what I will eat the day before. I love doing that, but it can be confusing at times to remember what I actually ate and didn't eat yet (especially after studying and such.. I'm very dizzy). I'd like an option to check/tick (✅) a logged food, to indicate that I actually ate it, and an option to check/tick…

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.
