Habit Stacking: Starting small to build up to big goals.
This has been my new favorite approach. I've never been a fan of trying to do everything all at once and I know I need to make small changes toward a bigger goal. Every week I choose a new small goal to work on that builds on something week before. Eat breakfast-->track my protein-->aim for 100g daily. If I need to work on…

Show Net Carbs on Desktop App, Under Nutrition Macros
Sometimes, it's easier to add food to the diary using a laptop, but I have to go to my phone to see accurate nutrition macros breakdown. The phone app reports percentage of net carbs, the desktop app shows percentage of total carbs. I'd like to see consistent reporting between the apps.
Good luck everyone!
Looking to take my weight loss more seriously this time. Also open to meeting new friends. So feel free to add and message me :) Good luck to everyone on their health and fitness goals!

I need a pro tip for online dietitian/nutritionist (US only)
Hi! I've been doing gym and some cardio for 5 months, but I feel like I'm always improvising in the kitchen and it's messing with my progress.

It would be nice if the app let you scan nutrition labels. Some foods, and pre-made meals do not have a barcode, but they all have nutrition labels. The app should be able to read those labels.
