Nutrition

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…

Hi, Trying to get more engaged and get more out of MFP, and as I'm scanning the group posts/discussions, it seems that all or almost all are closed? Also, there seem to be many 'old' posts and very few new ones. Am I looking in the right places? I'm looking for conversations/knowledge and experience from those using MFP as…

I started using MFP again last Monday (17Aug), after a long hiatus; tomorrow (Sunday, 23Aug) will be the end of my first week back. I'm a "Premium" member. On the "Weekly Report" screen, it shows me as only having logged in for 2 days all week, even though I've been on the App multiple times every day. It also shows me as…

I guess a new study from University of California Davis shows many highly trusted brands who claim their products are made with Avocado Oil failed tests multiple times. Brands like Chosen, Primal Kitchen, Sir Kensington’s, and Siete. Foods from mayonnaise to potato chips. This would mean the ingredient list is false. I try…

Hiii!! so here is the thing….. I LOVEEEEEEEE mayo, like to much, I try the half fat one now but it still adds about 3-400 cal per day, and I personally cannot affords to use my calories on a sauce and I do not like the ingredient that much….. please let me know your favourite recipes, or sauces that are good!!!

Hey there! So, my doctor recently advised me to go on a soft food only diet because of a medical condition until hopefully it resolves (but it’s for at least six months). I’m already someone who struggles to stay at a healthy weight and get all my nutrients (especially iron and protein). I also love crunchy foods, so I’m…

I'm seven weeks into my renewed healthy body journey. Started at 155 lbs. Began tracking food 5/19/26. I'm 66 y/o and work full-time (at a computer). I'm pretty consistent about eating my recommended calories or below with exercise. Began tracking exercise after knee arthroscopic surgery release for full/tolerated…

Hi everyone! I’m Ogo from Nigeria. 😊 I’m here because I’m working on losing weight, building healthier habits, and staying consistent. I’m currently focusing on eating a high-protein, balanced diet, walking regularly, and making fitness part of my lifestyle. I’m also a pharmacist, so I’m passionate about health and…

So I struggle with depression, and as a result, I eat a lot when I'm sad, upset, or just bored. my go-tos are often Nutella, ice cream, chips, or basically anything I can grab. I've tried to lose weight before, and eat healthier, but every time I try to give up things like chocolate, or cereal, or dessert, it just makes me…

Hello everyone! My name is Ellen and I’m continuing my health journey. I’m 65 years young, and have had 4 back surgeries - the latest a little over 2 years ago. So far I’ve lost 65lbs, and got back to the gym about 1 month after my last surgery. I was on WW for over 800 days, but their constant changes got to be a pain,…

Hi, I have used MyFitnessPal app since 2019 and lost around ~20kg weight. It has been helping me a lot since then. After reaching a plateau, currently I’m trying to lose a little more weight, and I also would like to gain control on myself :) Please feel feee to write me if you have any advices and/or questions :)))

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 anyone know if it’s better to mix chia seeds into water or into yogurt. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m a private chef learning more about nutrition and macros so I can create meals that actually support fitness goals. Excited to be here and learn 💪💕

This dish is one of my consistent go-to meals for meal prep throughout the week. It is pretty simple to prepare and helps hit my macros. Lean ground turkey taco meat: 1 tbsp olive oil 2 16 oz packages of lean ground turkey 1 can of plain black beans, drained 1 can of dark red kidney beans 1 can of diced tomatoes with…

I’m back on MyFitnessPal to stay on track with my health goals. I’ll be doing several virtual races soon—including the Beauty and the Beast and Alice in Wonderland challenges. Would love some accountability partners to join the journey!

It is now easy to calculate very specific nutritional information with AI. It is very easy to generate a nutritional spec sheet for specific meals. Instead of manually entering recipes with vague approximations from the database, I should be able to upload one file per meal—either for my own use or for the MyFitnessPal…

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?

Hi everyone. I’m new to posting here, but not new to fitness and helping women feel stronger and more confident. I’ve seen so many women work hard and still feel discouraged, not because they are lazy, but because they are overwhelmed by too much conflicting information. I’d love to use this space to share simple, honest…

I am trying to track my added sugars but the sugar counter includes both natural sugars ( like in milk or fruit) and added sugars . Can we track these differently or is there a way to do this now ? I am exceeding my sugar numbers just by eating recommended fruit servings -

Do you think protein bars are worth the calories if your trying to stay at 1400 cals a day?

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.

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…

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
