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…

Hi my name is Ruth, and I currently weigh 225 pounds. My doctor insisted I download this app. I love this app. It is so easy to enter any food you can think of, and surprising to see how fast the calories add up! lol
Quick lunch ideas?
I am struggling to meet my calorie goal. I have morning and snack down pat as well as dinners. I end up skipping lunch and always in a hurry to find something to grab. Usually fast options are not healthy, so I end up with a yogurt parfait… my goal is to bake up some chicken for the week to add to salads etc…, but I’ve yet…
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…
Needing suggestions for meals
I am learning how to eat for my health. Low carb meals & suggestions are welcome.
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.
Macros for booty gains??
I’m trying to build some real glute and leg gains while maintaining a slim waist and “flatish” belly….is this possible?? I’ve tracked macros before with great success. I lift 5 times a week. Help!!

New to MFP
Hi. I’m new to the group. Trying this out for inspiration and new ideas.
Gousto or hello fresh integration
It would be great if there was a food box integration. Where it could sync up with the meals you had delivered that week from Gousto or HelloFresh. Also the breakdown of the items in it. Currently I’m just doing quick add and putting in the calories.

Returning newbie
Hello! I am excited to start my fitness journey, again. I have previously been a WW member and did well. I returned to it in 2020 only to find out that it didn’t work for me this time.

Hello MyFitnessPal Community! First Time User

Trying this again
Hi all! I'm going to attempt this weight losing journey once again. I feel like it's almost useless for me to even try. I don't eat because I'm hungry, I eat because I'm bored. Even though I have a ton of things to do, I can't seem to stop picking. If it's there...I eat it. Any suggestions how to overview this? I hope…
