Body Recomp
Popping back into MFP to track the macros for my body recomp. And especially my water intake... which I am currently lacking. Just a personal trainer/postpartum coach holding myself accountable. Motivators welcome!
Goal Setting
Hello, I'd like to set my goals to a specific protein, fat, carb independent of the calories. When I change the macros, the calories change as well. How can I bypass this to get what I need. I am a premium member. Thanks.
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…
Micronutrients
It would be great if the micronutrients were displayed along with the macronutrients. This would really help with managing deficiencies or excesses.

Gluten Free, bc the IgE
TL;DR: What are your favorite GF meals that don’t necessarily rely on the processed replacement foods? I couldn’t think of a decent title, lol. As of my daughter’s doctor’s appointment yesterday, she is to go on a GF diet for the next 4-6 weeks. Given our budget, this means we’re all going GF. I’m already overwhelmed at…
The Protein struggle is real
I struggle, struggle, struggle to eat enough protein because it makes me feel so full I don't have room for other nutritional items I also need. I also find it kind of monotonous trying to get enough protein. I am 120 lbs moderately active but than I do intense exercise from time to time as I have time. I really hate…

Is Ketone IQ legit?
Hello, Has anyone tried Ketone IQ? I'm checking it out. I asked them for their nutritional information and they gave me this: No carbs, no fat, no protein... just 10g of ketones per 35ml. The fine print also says it contains 2% other ingredients. I don't recognize any of these. It is said to give you energy. Does this make…

Hi, I’m 38 female 170cm height . For the last 3 month or so I’ve been following a healthy lifestyle (dieting, working out, plus the occasional treats), and I managed to lose around 3kgs. I’ve noticed that the closer I get to my ideal weight (68kg) the more difficult it is to lose the last few kgs of fat. My muscle mass has…

What do you eat/drink while cooking dinner?
What do you eat while you cook dinner or do you manage not to snack/pick the entire time you're in the kitchen? Painting the picture: between 5-530pm when my workday is over, my spouse is picking up kids, and I have 30 minutes of silence to unwind and cook dinner has become a daily pain point. I have a mid-afternoon snack…

Hi! New member here. I’m a 56 y.o. female and I joined to help me lose about 20 lbs and keep it off.
I’m having a hard time knowing which item to choose from the list of foods when I’m searching. Some of the calories vary a lot for the same food item. Is there a trick? Also, any suggestions for someone who gets hungry 2-3 hours after eating? I’ve tried eating more protein, more fiber, & foods that take longer to digest…
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.

How much of extra calories earned should I eat?
So historically when trying to lose weight I would not adjust food intake to take into account exercise. Now I am trying to change my relationship with food, to not use food as a stress reliever and to really understand healthy eating with weight loss being a very handy by-product of that.
