Tracking Phosphorus
Would you add phosphorus as an available item in the nutrients tracked list. This is an important mineral, actually the 2nd most abundant mineral in the human body, after calcium. Generally, the body needs 100 mg per day. People with kidney issues (usually CKD - chronic kidney disease), phosphorus is as important to track…

I’m excited to join the journey and learn about getting healthy and with community!!
Something happened to the nutrient listings
I had a Gardein burger today, added it to my diary and it showed 4 g of protein. I thought that couldn't be correct so I checked the package and it's 14 g!! I don't want to have to second guess MFP on the nutrients in foods, but I guess that what it's come to. It used to be correct before they started messing with this…
Diverticulitis is NOT going to be death of me!
Hi y’all, I’m Kim from central Texas. 57 (and a half! lol) and I am struggling. Tomorrow will be four full weeks of being sick from my third diverticulitis flare-up, but this one is a doozy. Last time I was on a scale was two weeks ago at my doctor’s office, and at that point I’d lost 15 lbs since the last time I’d seen…
I’m new to counting everything
I’ve never really been one to count calories. I just cut back on carbs. But now I’m dead set on doing this the right way. In fact, I found a chair yoga for amputees, so Monday I’m starting. (Sunday was my day I set aside for rest, before I found the chair yoga, it’s football day here) I’m short on my calories for the day.…
Hi Everyone
Hi Everyone. I have been using this app for 2 months and I depend on it. I recently lost my wife and have had to learn how to cook for myself. I can boil stuff and microwave everything but my fitness pal has been so helpful. I am happy to meet new friends and be apart of their healthy eating journey.
Nutrients in % (Needs to be revised)
Why would most of the nutrients allow us to change our daily goals by entering the GRAMS, but items like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, & Iron only allow entries based on percentage? That make 0% sense. Example: The RDA for Calcium for a man my age is 1,000mg. I typically consume about 400mg of calcium per day, so i know…
Calorie deduct for omitted ingredients
I ran into a scenario where I ordered a sandwich from a fast food place, but I chose remove mayo from the sandwich to reduce fat. It would be nice to be able to add an “omitted” item to my diary that would create a negative calorie consumption. That way I would look up the sandwich for an easy log, and then just deduct the…
Splitting Added Sugar out from Sugar counts
I am tracking on MFP, and find the macro tracking usually useful. However, my diet is high in fruits and vegetables that have a pretty high sugar count. So I am consistently warned that I go over my daily sugar intake, then recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables. It would be really helpful if the app could…
New here!!
I’m Susan. New here. I am a cancer survivor looking to gain some muscle and manage my nutrients as per my nutritionist’s recommendations.
Weed out the incomplete entries in the Food database especially those missing Potassium content
I've found a lot of the entries in the food database are incomplete but marked with a green badge. Nutrients like potassium are often zero for foods that have a significant amount of it. I really need to watch my potassium and have trouble finding the right green badge entry listing it. I do vote that those not containing…
New to nutrition know-how
trying to stay within my calorie allowance and still hit my nutrient goals. Not as simple as I thought it would be. It’s easy to cut calories but I want to be healthier, not just skinnier. I love all the helpful insights from the app. I just switched from LoseIt. I should have been using this one all along.
My favorite breakfast smoothie!
so for breakfast I just use my ninja food blender to make a strawberry, banana, milk, yogurt, and cornflake smoothie. it’s really the best smoothie ever. I also like very berry as a smoothie but I didn’t have all the ingredients for that one. So I’ve been sticking with the simple strawberry banana. U put 6…
More nutrient tracking please!
I just upgraded to premium because you are advertising "track more nutrients," and when I tried to update that feature, it still remains "choose 3" from the list. Disappointed.
Caffeine Intake
My fitness pal needs to track caffeine intake, It would be an amazing feature. Many people have concerns about caffeine intake or just like to track it on a daily basis. This would greatly improve my experience with this app.
Hello - seeking advice on this new journey
Good afternoon, I’ve recently joined this app, tracking my meals for about a month so far. It’s been really informative, and making improvements as I go. I was curious if there are other vegetarians here who struggle to meet a target calorie count while keeping fats and sugars low. I consistently am short on calories, by a…
Track caffeine in addition to other nutrients
I've recently become concerned about the amount of caffeine I consume and have started to track the amount using an alternative application to MFP. I am sure that many health conscious users of MFP would also find tracking caffeine a beneficial feature, allowing us to track all of our consumption within a single…
Know any low-cal filler snacks?
I'm looking for some low-calorie snacks that I can munch on when I'm hungry after school and not feel guilty about eating. I don't want to always feel hungry throughout the day, so I'm looking for food that I can eat a good portion of. I don't even know if food like this exists. LOL. If they taste good, that would be a…
Fiber Not Showing Up
Hi everyone! I made a dinner with Mission Carb Balance tortillas which are supposed to have 17g of dietary fiber. I ate two of them, however, I haven’t even reached half of my daily goal of 25g. I checked and on the app it lists the tortillas as having 17g of fiber so it can’t be a typo. Any answers would be appreciated!…
Nutrients content via picture
Whether it's in the US, in France, in the UK; the nutrient content label is usually always organized the same way. It would be great when creating new food to simply take a picture of the label behind the box and for OCR to get all the necessary information.
Fiber recordings
How can 2 cups of decaf coffee generate 10gms of fibre. This must be a fault. How to fix it?
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
