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?

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…
