I need a support group, or something
I want to workout consistently and for a while I was. I would do some form of workout for at least 10 minutes each day, whether it’s a full workout or active recovery. But recently, I’ll make it two days of the bare minimum and then be really inactive on the third (and sometimes fourth) day. And then the cycle repeats. I…

Advanced meal planning
I am on a diet that requires a set amount of macros and total calories. Hitting the goals have been a hit and miss, for various reasons: forgetting to buy some foods, eating or not eating a certain food for a meal, missing an ingredient in a dish etc. Finally, I realized that it's possible to log foods for future dates.…

Is Variety the Spice of Life?
I'm the type of person who doesn't mind eating the same breakfast and lunch most days, and having different various meals for dinner. Honestly, I probably wouldn't even mind the same dinner most days, if it was something I really liked. I only mix things up to make sure I'm getting all the nutrients I need, and to keep…

Comment section in My Recipes
In My Recipes, there is only an option for servings. But what is a serving size? Cups? Grams? So either adding additional measurements for “serving” or adding a comment section would be helpful.

How to hit my carb intake (MACROS)
Im a carb-aholic ...when it comes to eating. Only when Im being moderate and healthy I cant hit my carbs. Mostly because if I add in the "bad carbs" to fill the carbs then Im over on sodium or calories. I guess the real probelm is I dont know enough "healthy" carbs to make the most of my meals. Any pointers or guiders.
