Breakfast Foods for a Sensitive Stomach?
I struggle with eating breakfast because my stomach is very sensitive in the morning. I haven't found any foods that both fuel me and don't make me sick - before this happened I was a big fan of oatmeal, yogurt, & granola. Any ideas on how to modify but remain nutritious?

Types of Fat
In exporting my nutritional information from MyFitnessPal, I noticed there are 5 categories of Fat: "Fat", "Saturated Fat", "Monounsaturated Fat", "Polyunsaturated Fat", and "Trans Fat". However, the values for the last four fat types do not add up to anything close to the values I see for the "Fat" category. If the four…

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…

Does myfitnesspal calculate iron % for men?
I know the daily intake for men is 8mg and woman 18mg I have read in places that the app defaults to 18 regardless if you set yourself profile to men or woman. Is this correct? And do I need to change my current 100% to 44.4% as this is equivalent 8/18x100:) let me know what you think please

Scale wont budge.

Macros in the dark
According to an MFP survey, 88% of MyFitnessPal users say they don’t have any idea of how much protein, fibre, carbs, sugar and salt they consume daily. Then what exactly are they using MFP for.

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…

Add Vitamin D tracking
It would be nice to learn how much vitamin D we are getting from our diets so we know when to cut back or augment supplements.

Sugar Alcohols not showing
What aren't sugar alcohols staying when I report food with incorrect nutrition & save it? Very frustrating when counting net carbs.

Improve the food search diary
many restaurants and food companies (at least in Canada) have their nutrition or at least their calories per serving publicly available, MFP should be able to tap into that to populate the food diary ALSO, if someone is creating a new food and it doesn’t have any macro information, that should just be in their own personal…

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,…

Asian-Inspired Recipes
Does anyone have any recommendations for macro-friendly Asian-inspired recipes? It can be YouTube/Instagram creators, cookbooks, blogs, anything. I prefer Pacific Island foods, like from Japan, Polynesia, Philippines, and Guam.

Add Fiber to Food Diary
There's plenty of room on the Food Diary for a Fiber column. Being able to calculate Net Carbs is very important. Fiber prevents spikes in blood sugar, helps you feel full longer and promotes healthier bowel movements. All nutrition labels show the fiber count. Tallying only Carbohydrates just isn't all that important to…

My little diet experiment
Hello everyone! Some time ago, I conducted a small experiment to understand how dietary fiber affects satiety, the development of gut microbiota (the community of microorganisms in the intestines), and their influence on blood glucose "spikes," as gut bacteria participate in digesting up to 80% of food. To briefly…

What nutrition food scales to buy?
I want to buy a nutrition food scale that tracks calories & 19+ nutrients. I have an Android phone and a Garmin Vivoactive 4s smart watch. Which nutrition food scale would connect with MFP and my phone & watch please? I get the impression you have to have Apple products to be able to connect to MFP?
