Micronutrients
It would be great if the micronutrients were displayed along with the macronutrients. This would really help with managing deficiencies or excesses.

Capturing nutrition info from a photo
I'd love to be able to just be able to take a photo of a nutrition label and have MFP automatically add the information when creating a new food rather than having to type everything in manually. It would function similarly to a reverse image search or text recognition in a PDF. MFP could automatically map the data to the…

How to calculate daily sugar intake
My question is: What counts towards sugar goal? Is it just added sugar or sugar from all food consumed same day? For example: Does naturally found sugar in carrots, tomatoes, fruits, etc. count towards daily sugar goal?

Keeping Track of More Nutrient Goals (Vitamins)
One thing I really wish was the Nutrient list on MFP to add more Vitamins. Like keeping track of your daily B vitamins, Magnesium, etc. Has anyone heard of this being talked about or added?

Beans and nuts. HELP!
So lately beans and nuts have been really messing up my calorie count. I'm cutting right now and have been eating at 1700/day for the past few weeks, but I need high protein to feel full and like eating at 100g protein a day. The problem is, a lot of my protein intake comes from beans and nuts, which are VERY high in…

How many calories should I be eating
Hi, I’m 29 and weigh 211. I’m curious to get other opinions, MyFitnessPal app says I should be eating 1450 calories a day. Do you think that’s low or should I be eating a little bit more? I tried to Google more about calorie counting, it gets confusing

Calorie Deficit vs. Starvation Mode
Hi! I’m Paulette and new here. I’m a 60 year old retired, (young) granny who works out 5-6 days a week (strength training, HIIT, yoga, and cardio) and would like to lose 25 pounds. I am confused with the whole “you have to be in a calorie deficit to burn fat” verses “if you don’t eat enough calories, you’ll go into…

Click if you also have gastroparesis, ibs, or any other gastric conditions you battle with
Hello My name is Crystal and I am new here. I'm 47 years old. I started using the app due to my health conditions because it's very hard for me to keep track if I'm getting enough nutrition or not. I have a very limited amount of foods that I can eat that don't aggravate my symptoms. Which can often leave me barely eating…

Compare Food Tool
I want to compare two foods in your food database side-by-side to more easily decide which item to purchase or eat, so that I can quickly compare macros and other key nutrients. You definitely do have the largest nutrition database of any of them -- so this is the natural place I want to use to compare foods. You have at…

60+ and so fed up of failing.
Been here plodding along for a few months now and just getting angrier with myself. I'm seeing no changes, I am hitting all my nutrient goals, yet I feel less and less motivated to work out what's going on. So frustrated with this body that seems to be hanging on to way over 3st more than it should. I really would love to…

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…

Smoothie (Chew or Swallow)
I’ve taken to making “smoothies” (chunkies?) rather than juicing. I make my smoothies chunky rather than completely liquified. Does anyone else prefer a chunkier smoothie? I like the fiber content and the fact that I’m consuming whole food nutrition. I have also read research that chewing helps with digestion and fuels a…

Add salt as an option in nutrition info or salt to sodium converter
Hi all. I saw an old post discussing adding salt to the nutrition info, from a few years ago. It wasn't in the feature forum, and I couldn't find another recent post discussing the matter. In the UK, most things are labelled with salt content, not sodium. I've found that this leads to a lot of incorrect entries for food,…
