Is there a way to edit calories?
Hello, I have added receipies to my Food database and it pulls the correct ingredients, but when I look at servings it will say something outlandish such as Servings 1 is 2870 calories per serving, so i have to adjust it, so if the reciepe serves 4, but 1 serving is 558 calories, I have to adjust it to say I had 5 servings…

New to MyFitnessPal
My name is Steve and I joined this app after having a kidney stone removed. I need to lose weight, exercise more and eat more nutritious foods. My goal right now is to drink at least 80 ounces of water every day.
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.
Vitamin D totals added to Nutrition daily summary
MFP already collects vitamin D data for individual food items within the app. However there is no way to look at a glance and view the total vitamin D levels consumed by day. Adding Vitamin D to the nutrition summary page, with the currently displayed totals for macros, vitamin A, fiber, etc., would be a huge benefit and…
How do I see the total fiber consumed
When entering foods into my food diary, at the bottom it shows calories/fat/sat fat/carbs/ sodium / protein. How can I see how much fiber was consumed that day as well? I would also like to be able to see how much potassium and phosphorus were consumed that day as well. Thank You

So can somebody explain these pages? It says carb 50% fat 30% and protein 20%. Due to the type of workout routine I need for this; it's really…
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…
Tracking More Than 5 Nutrients
Everything I've seen says I can track more than 5 nutrients in MFP and, sure, I can see more than 5 when I click on Nutrients but, when I go to change which ones I'm tracking, I only see 5 drop down menus. Bottom line, is there a way to track more than that? Moreover, is there a way to add foods with more than that? The…
Happy New Year 2025!!
My name is Amy and I am 60 years old. I started back on my high protein, low carb diet again the day after Christmas and so far I have lost 11 pounds!! It is going well. I am being VERY strict with everything I consume and it is paying off. I am excited it is working so well.
Macro/nutrient breakdown per meal
When I log a meal, I’d like to be able to click on it and view macro and nutrient breakdown for it So that I can track and plan my meals without having to click on individual meal components to calculate macros
Sugar addiction
Hello, I am so happy 😊 to be here. I have a problem staying away from sweets. The older I get the harder it is. Been trying to lose weight also. My problem is self control. I need lots of help in that category. Any ideas would be helpful.
Please add Magnesium to nutrient tracker
Most people are low in magnesium. I would like to track my magnesium intake but unfortunately it is not currently available on the list of nutrients to track. I would love it if MFP added that to the list! Thank you!

How do you stay within your calorie goal while meeting your daily nutrient goal?

However, I'm having a hard time meeting my nutrient goal. I seem to always go over my carbs, sometimes fiber, fat, and on occasion sugar. It's usually always…

Phosphorus Tracking Needed
I’d love to see a phosphorus field under nutrition to keep track of phosphorus totals. I realize most companies don’t include it in their nutrition labels, but if you could add the field and make it modifiable so we can add the amount in if we know it, that would be really good. I’ve used the MFP app for many years and…
