Nutrition

I am 12 weeks pregnant and 173 lbs. I would like to lose some weight in a healthy way which I know is a challenge while the baby is growing. I exercise at least 5 days a week. How many calories should I eat per day/how should I adjust my nutrition for pregnancy?

I am frustrated.....I am in a calorie deficit every day, eating protein, low carb most days, daily exercise. Based on my intake and output I should be losing at least 1- 1 & 1/2 lbs a week. Some weeks 2 lbs. Scale is not moving at all for a couple weeks. In fact it went up about a pound and a half. My typical day has about…

Hi everyone! I’m new here and excited to join the community. I’m interested in learning more about staying healthy, building better habits, and connecting with people who are on similar journeys. Looking forward to participating and sharing tips with all of you!”

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.

I am Jack. I have used MyFitnessPal off and on for probably 15 years and always lost weight while using it then stop and slowly put all the weight back on.

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…

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.

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

My name is Jalissa and I'm 30 years old. Restarting my health journey trying to navigate motherhood, grief, and marriage at the same time. I don't have much of support system. Hopefully, I can find people to help me hold me accountable and vice versa.

Anyone else seeing something like this? The pie charts in nutrition/macros are not rendering anything remotely correct.. The percentages are not properly reflected in the size of the pie slices…

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,…

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.

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…

Hi everyone I need to lose about 45 lbs I just came back from the gym I'm cutting out all fast food including iced coffee!!! Some support would help ...I'm also planning to drink and continue my water routine

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…

Hello, everyone. I am from Charlotte, NC and just joined MFP yesterday. Please give a yell if you live near the Charlotte Metro Area. I have plateaued on my weight loss journey and found MFP through a thorough search for a way to assist me onwards to my goal of getting down to 200 pounds. I started in July 2024 at 287…

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?

HI Everyone, I'm Ghee911 and I've come back to the fold after several years off. I just turned 70, am a part-time Nanny for infants and toddlers (who are my stress relievers). I was basically immobile from 12/25/23 - 6/30/25 (unable to work), starting out with a tumble down the stairs during Christmas out of state,…

Just trying to find out who all my food friends are out there! I have followed a vegan lifestyle for about 25 years, went gluten free over a decade ago, and removed added sugar from my diet 3 years ago on Nov 1st! It an be a challenge to eat out at times, but I feel great! Anyone else keep these same guidelines?

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…

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…

HHey Everyone I have been on here before but i fell off to the binge eating and woke up to realize that I stopped caring about myself. I am so excited to be back and taking care of myself again. I need to become a better version of me. So I can do this. Please feel free to add me or give me any advice please.

Is it possible to add a ‘servings’ page that calculates how many serves of fruit, veg, meat, dairy, breads & cereals, fats &oils good, fats&oils bad- you are eating and compare this with recommended dietary guide lines.

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.…
