Recipe Apps/Software that does the math like MFP
Is MFP (My Fitness Pal) the only app that does the math still standing? A recipe app/software should have the following: • A large nutritional database for raw foods (meats, veggies, etc.) and packaged foods (the stuff you buy in cans and boxes and bags at the store) Nutribase had the entire US FDA nutrition database and…

What’s the one habit that changed your health journey the most?
Hey everyone! We all know fitness and nutrition can feel overwhelming with so much information out there. But usually, there’s that one small habit that makes the biggest difference in the long run. For me, it was simply drinking 2 liters of water daily—it reduced cravings and boosted my energy. What about you guys? What’s…

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…

Old newbie
Howdy, all! My name is Anna, and I’ve been on and off this train so many times in my adult life. Usually, I get healthy and lose weight, become complacent with my progress, then slowly fall off until I gain more than what I had lost and start the cycle all over again. I’m currently the most I’ve EVER weighed, at 193lbs.…

Diverticulitis is NOT going to be death of me!
Hi y’all, I’m Kim from central Texas. 57 (and a half! lol) and I am struggling. Tomorrow will be four full weeks of being sick from my third diverticulitis flare-up, but this one is a doozy. Last time I was on a scale was two weeks ago at my doctor’s office, and at that point I’d lost 15 lbs since the last time I’d seen…

Hi Everyone
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 just lost 14lbs and Im only 6lbs away from being at my lowest weight😄
I am BEYOND excited, I’ve been watching my diet the past few month(s) and I just weighed myself today. To my shock, I lost 14lbs, I was in such disbelief that I grabbed another scale thinking the scale was off, NOPE definitely lost 14lbs. I’m literally 6lbs away from being at my lowest weight in YEARS, last time I weighed…

Hello! I am 45. I have been in medically induced menopause for roughly four months due to treatment for hormone receptor positive breast cancer. In the last three months, I have been struggling with a new (and ever-increasing) layer of fat on my thighs, hips, butt, torso, and upper arms. I have also lost substantial…

Who says dieting can be boring???
When I first tried losing weight I really hated it, it felt like a complete punishment. “You cant have food until you’ve lost weight!” is what I told myself, so I ate a consistent diet of Chicken Salads, Chicken Breasts and greens for months; and I detested it. Well, 60lbs+ lost and my perspective has completely changed.…

Calorie deduct for omitted ingredients
I ran into a scenario where I ordered a sandwich from a fast food place, but I chose remove mayo from the sandwich to reduce fat. It would be nice to be able to add an “omitted” item to my diary that would create a negative calorie consumption. That way I would look up the sandwich for an easy log, and then just deduct the…

Splitting Added Sugar out from Sugar counts
I am tracking on MFP, and find the macro tracking usually useful. However, my diet is high in fruits and vegetables that have a pretty high sugar count. So I am consistently warned that I go over my daily sugar intake, then recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables. It would be really helpful if the app could…

I was sedentary and eating and drinking empty calories, I had to rewire my brain to view food as fuel and not just for cravings. Motivation is what got me to the starting line January 1st, Discipline is what got me to 188. Keep going,…

Eating out
So I’m new to all of this, and frankly, last week I hardly knew what a calorie was aside from it being what I ate and how to spell it. That being said, I also haven’t been eating fast food for quite awhile now, to the point that it doesn’t taste like I remembered. So my question here is, how do I log what I eat if I do eat…

Go to quick meals?
Hello, I usually get off work pretty late and always struggle with figuring out a quick and healthy meal. I usually end up grabbing fast food. Does anyone have go-to meals that are easy to cook and don’t take a lot of time?

Accountability
Hi there, Would anyone be interested in an accountability challenge with me? I am stuck in a rut where I set goals for myself (for example: work out plan, water plan, eat low carb/low sugar)…and on day 3 I fizzle out. I'm not sure why I have very low discipline but I'm hoping that accountability will help my focus. My…

So heres my situation. For reference I am 5’8 (don’t read if sensitive to mentions of anorexia) Since August 2023 I’ve gained a lot of weight.

Hi! I'm brand new to this but excited to work towards healthier eating habits and maybe shedding a few pounds as well. I always had a fast metabolism and could eat anything but now I'm starting to notice that isn't the case anymore. Once I master the nutrition portion, I'd love to be more intentional in exercise. I…
