I had one half piece of a large…

Hello everyone
Hello everyone im new here
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. I hate guessing with my meals, so I want some legit help. Anyone know where I can find good online nutritionists that aren't scams or super generic? So far, the best tip I've gotten…
Scan nutrition labels
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.
My basal metabolic rate is 1238. My workout burns approx 400 calories. Will I lose weight?
On a 1900 calorie diet? When I adjust my protein fat and carbs goal myfitnesspal tells me to eat 1900 calories. With my exercise burn it's gone up to about 2300 calories. Will I still lose weight with this deficit?
Supplements
Good afternoon everyone. I met with a functional nutritionist yesterday. She suggested several vitamins and supplements to help with chronic pain and inflammation. They included vitamin D with K, vitamin B, and magnesium. Has anyone had any experience with these supplements?

Does Homemade Sea Moss Gel go bad?
Hi All, I made a batch of sea moss gel around 3 months ago and I still have so much of it left. They have been stored in glass jars (not canned) in my fridge for about 3 months. the only thing that is in them is sea moss and water. Any advice would be appreciated :) Cheers
Protein intake on big-outing days
I’m eating a diet that is 30% calories from protein, 20% from fat and 50% from carbs. my question applies all the time, while cutting or bulking Some days I lift and do a long trail run or rock climb where I burn 1000 calories or more. Should I stick to getting 30% of calories from protein on those days (can be upwards of…

Hello My name is Crystal and I am new here. I'm 47 years old. I started using the app due to my health conditions because it's very hard for me to keep track if I'm getting enough nutrition or not. I have a very limited amount of foods that I can eat that don't aggravate my symptoms. Which can often leave me barely eating…
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.
Calories in Alcohol
I'm from the UK and I know food packaging is required to have calories and nutrition information labelled clearly, a lot also using the traffic light kinda system to clearly show nutritional values in each serving. Alcohol however doesn't need to adhere to this packaging. I'm a student and don't drink more than once every…
Can I bulk while lowering glucose (A1c)?
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…

I want to compare two foods in your food database side-by-side to more easily decide which item to purchase or eat, so that I can quickly compare macros and other key nutrients. You definitely do have the largest nutrition database of any of them -- so this is the natural place I want to use to compare foods. You have at…

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 :)
