Address body fat or stick to bulking?

Click if you also have gastroparesis, ibs, or any other gastric conditions you battle with

Query on healthy fat intake
Hi all, I am a novice to all of this but I have been reading a bit about that as long as you are eating real foods etc you are getting high quality nutrients. I have tried to reduce my carb intake as much as possible as I found I would be more tired after eating this sort of food. I have started eating foods such as eggs…

Delete Duplicate and Incorrect Foods
The number of duplicate and incorrect entries across all food types is staggering, and the problem continues to build, making it more and more difficult to log food accurately. It would be great if MFP would make moderating and/or cleaning up duplicate and incorrect food entries using an algorithm a priority.

Alcohol however doesn't need to adhere to this packaging. I'm a student and don't drink more than once every…

As title suggests, I started trying a bulk diet (+200 cal) with ≈45-60min of pretty strenuous weightlifting 6 days a week. I currently have a BMI of 23 and to note, have LADA. I am not yet on insulin which is a win but have noticed my average glucose has, naturally, been on the rise due to eating more food (I keep carbs…

Why do so many foods having wrong nutritional value posted?
Sorry this is more of a complaint. Don't people read labels when they add foods to MFP? The amount of completely wrong nutritional values baffle and annoy me. But on the good news side lost 5 lbs so far :)

Why aren't you allowed to set water intake goals?
Water intake is a cornerstone of any fitness plan and should be adjusted according to exercise, weight/BMI, fiber intake, etc. How does a food and fitness tracking app not have this feature - especially when they want you to pay for a premium subscription?

Foods logged vs Meals logged
When I go to Reports > Weekly Digest there is All-time Stats at the very bottom. Is the number under Foods logged meant for all the foods I logged so far or only for different foods I logged (so the food that is repeating is not included in this number)? I guess this is a number for all the foods I logged (including the…

Nutrition value of uncooked vs. cooked pasta
I just noticed that Fusilli Durum Wheat Pasta made by Combino (bought in Lidl) has a tiny letters below Nutrition Facts which say: A portion of 100 g uncooked product corresponds 220 g cooked product. But Nutrition facts doesn't specify if values are meant for uncooked or for cooked product? Now, if I make one portion of,…
