Do you guys find you lose weight faster by prioritizing protein or just getting a good balance of protein/fat/carbs??? Thank you.
healthy grocery lists?
I need to go grocery shopping soon because the majority of the food in my home has been carbs, meat, and sugar up to this point. More light, vegetable-based cuisine and wholesome snacks are what I'm after. Does anyone use a shopping list that is heavier on vegetables? I want to buy asparagus, mixed vegetables, squash, and…
New & looking to lose over 100 lbs!
Hi Everyone! I’m Sara :) I have officially reached my highest weight- 295 lbs. At 5’5 and 30 years old, I need to make a drastic change. I have used MyFitnessPal before but found I lacked community, so I am looking to make friends with anyone who is in the process of losing a large amount of weight or is also just starting…
Hi, new here
Hello everyone. I'm Nora, here because I was looking for an app to help me track what I eat to determine reflux triggers (as in, after every meal or snack I would add it to the list so I could correlate symptoms to food), but I got sucked into setting a diet goal which was not what I was intending. Is it possible to delete…
My food diary doesn't reflect my goals properly.
For example, my protein goal is set to 200g per day. And my Calorie goal is 2000 per day. I set my tracking to percentages so that I could manually enter my calories. And I set my Protein percentage to 45% which reflected as 200g on the website. But, when I go to my food tracker, It says IM already in the minus/past my…
Supplement Tracking
It would be awesome if I could track supplements (vitamins/minerals.) Maybe even scan the barcodes. If micronutrients were added then these values would be very helpful to show where you may want to supplement.
Strength Training on Vegetarian Diet
I have been strength training for years. YEARS. Eight years to be exact. My max weights have plateaued for years. YEARS. About six years to be exact. While I continue to keep lifting through injuries and medical issues, I would really like to see my one rep max numbers go up. I highly suspect the problem is my diet. For a…
BCAA's - which brand is your favorite?
I'm looking for a brand of clean BCAA's. So many have unwanted, unnecessary fillers and looking to find something healthy and clean. Could you give me your best brand? Also wondering if it makes a difference that I'm a 50+ female ~ Thanks!
Alpha-gal syndrome
I’m just curious if anyone else out there is having trouble managing enough protein with Alpha-gal. I also unfortunately have a fish intolerance as well as oral pollen allergy that prevents me from have fresh/raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. I would love to not have to rely on my vegan protein shake to ensure my required…
Premium version: ability to sort by macros when searching for foods
I have MFP Premium so I can use the Macros features. I need to consume a high amount of protein, and would love to be able to search by a specific macro. It would be helpful to be able to search my Recents and/or Diary because I’d be searching for foods I already have in my pantry and it would assist me in being able to…
Sort Food by macros (instead of A-Z)?
Hello- I am using My FitnessPal Premium, and love that I can specify macros I want to track. I’m having trouble hitting my protein goal. Is there a way to search foods based on macros (protein), instead of A-Z/Z-A and Date Added? If not, does MFP have a place to submit suggestions for future versions?
High Fiber recipes?
Anyone have any recipes out there that are high in fiber? I’ve been told that I need a lot more in my diet and I’m looking for some inspiration. Thanks in advance!

Does the amount of carbs include fiber
Under the Nutrition page for a day. Myfitnesspal shows the number of carbs, fiber, and sugar. Suppose carbs=200 grams Fiber=50 and Sugar=50 Now since fiber and sugar are also carbs, do the 200 grams of carbs include the 100 grams of carbs from fiber or sugar? Or the 200 gms of carbs is separate from fiber and sugar? Thanks
Macros and nutrients
Hi Everyone, I took the time today to study my nutrients. This program is for you to see for yourself how you eat if you use the tools. I use macro a lot to balance carbs, protein and fat with nutrients just getting a glance. Today, I was stunned to see so many zeros, especially with potassium, sodium and iron. A few…

How to log accurate nutrition data from my food choices?

When I have scanned my powder app says 229 cal not sure if that includes milk or not. My semi-skimmed milk calories is 147 cal for…

Myfitnesspal not syncing nutrition further back than when I got my iphone
So I’m just about to get an Apple Watch so I’m sorting all my data syncing with apple health before hand. I’m having one problem with myfitnesspal. But the problem is that very specifically the nutrional info I’ve tracked with myfitnesspal (calcium, iron, sodium, etc) is only syncing onto apple health back until around the…
Understanding Fat Goals
I am having a hard time tracking meals to be high calorie, lower fat. Even some of my meals show I have 21g of fat, but most of those are polysaturated and monosaturated. There might be 1g of saturated fat, no trans fats. Mind you, my alternative meals are very low fat, like a salad with maybe 1tbsp of dressing. I am just…
Could we get 6 macros to track instead of 5?
Hello, I was wondering if maybe the owners of this website would consider adding another slot to track macros? I would really want to track protein, but i'd have to get rid of either saturated fat, total fat, sugars, or sodium to do that which I feel is unoptimal. It's not even a paid feature from what I can tell to add…

Now after a year i have shifted back to working during…
Adjusting the macros on a food item
Can we adjust the individual macros on a food item without making a custom entry? For example, an English muffin contains 4gms of protein, 1 gram of fat, and 25gm of carbs. It really is not a source of protein so can I "erase" those 4gms so I know I still need to get those with healthier protein sources by the end of the…
How to track more nutrients?
Is there a way to track more nutrients and vitamines (like on Cronometer)? Is this available in the full version? I see I am consistently not getting enough iron and Vit. A and wonder now about other nutrients.
Macros don't match calories
Almost daily my calories do not match my macros. My calories are between 50-150 off. This never used to happen, what has changed?
