Closed Groups??
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…

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?

I’d love to use this space to share simple, honest…

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…

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

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…
