17 Day Diet
I've been using MyFitnessPal on and off since 2012. Last Thursday, I started the 17 Day diet and am hoping to connect with others who are following it as well. It would be great to support each other and share new recipes-especially since one of the biggest challenges for me is keeping meals interesting and avoiding food…
Veg/Non-veg options while searching Recipes
When browsing through high protein recipesl why I need to browse 100's of irrelevant recipes as I am vegetarian show me only veggie options.
Recipe disaster
Hi, new to the app and I made the slow cooker chicken tikka masala. I'm in Australia and had to convert. Anyway it turned out super runny. 1. What could I have added to thicken? or 2. ...to reduce the liquid? Are the recipes on the app submitted by professional or home cooks or a mix of both? I salvaged the chicken and the…
Recipe Serving Options
For recipes created by users, could there be an option for what a serving equates to? Right now you can only quantify how many servings a recipe makes, but I would like the option to also put how much a serving is (e.g. an ounce, a cup, etc) similarly to the options available when you create a food. There’s been many times…
New-ish
Hi! I go by TeeTee I am a 35 year old mom of 2. I originally downloaded this app after significantly gaining weight (gained 50# in 7 months) primarily from a dental emergency left me near death and without my top teeth. I was only able to eat soft foods and ultimately I didn't make the better choices. I tried to learn to…
Hello MyFitness Pals, day 60 on my new health journey
Hello, I'm twenty-four pounds down with many pounds left to go on my new health journey and I look forward to learning so much more about, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats and all that jazz. I'm exploring new foods, new recipes and storing them on OneNote for future use. Who knew this journey would be so much fun with the…
Search for recipes
I would like to search recipes by typing in a name, food name, food category. Right now all i can do is scroll through each one.
Recipe search!
Please-- in this day and age a recipe search cannot be hard to implement. Your recipe discovery feature would be so much more useful and functional if one could search by ingredient.

Auto update Meals when Recipes change
I would like to suggest a change/feature that Meals automatically update when a Recipe is changed which is used inside a Meal. Usecase: I habe multiple recipes which I use for different meals or make a meal out of different recipes. I can than just log the meal in most cases and if needed individual recipes as extra or…
Website - Edit Recipe - Edit Quantity - Broke
When editing a recipe on the website, clicking on Edit Quantity no longer brings up the quantity change box. It just returns to top of page. This has been broken for almost a week. I tested it on both Chrome and Edge. Anyone else experiencing this?
Hello New to This Community - Getting in Shape
Hi all, trained for years and then since COVID lost my way. Looking ideas for last meal before bed. I'm dropping 400 cals from maintenance weight but struggling to remember good recipe ideas.
It’s been a while
Hello. I keep coming back to MFP . I am trying to get control of my eating habits and am pursing the macros plan. I am working out with a trainer for a short period of time. My body has changed as I age and am now realizing that I really need to get serious about commitments to myself. Looking for to hearing back from you…
Recipes exporter
It would be useful to be able export recipes singly and/or in bulk. I have 300+ recipes in MyFitnessPal but the one I want to refer to can be hard to find. Being able to peruse some data (e.g. a set of recipes in TXT files; or json structures, etc.) would be much easier than the current methods in the app or on the website…
View ingredients when adding to diary
Currently the only way to see the ingredients and instructions for a recipe is to go to More>Recipes>Find the recipe>Edit. That’s a lot of clicking to see some information I want to quickly get to. What I end up doing is that I go to add something to the diary but then I can’t remember how much is in a serving or what…
Have MFP do the calculations from serving size to what amount you use
This, imho, is where MFP fails epically. The user must calculate the amount take to coincide with the serving size that is labeled on the product. I am more than willing to put that data in, but what I want is when I serve my portion, I put in the amount I serve. For example, serving size of Thai's unsweetened coconut milk…
How do I search for recipes?
This question was last asked in 2012. I figure somethings must have changed in 11 years? I'm looking for a database of recipes that are gluten free with certain types of vegetables. Does that exist? If not, why not? Thank you

I'd love to hear about your success stories and what maintenance looks like for you. I'd also be…
Searching for Recipes
1. Is there a way to search for recipes? Simply browsing through Discovery is cumbersome and annoying. 2. 2. Once I locate a recipe, is there a way to add to My Diary for a future date-then have that entry actually link to the recipe? I plan meals ahead of time, but often have trouble locating the recipe on tge day I…

Hello New to Fitness Pal
Hi, my name is Jeanett. I need to lose 50 pounds and keep it off. I'm giving myself 10-pound goals at a time. It will be easier for me not to look at the whole picture, but at incremental goals. I have it in my head that I want to do this. I have lost those same 50 pounds several times over the years. My main goal will be…

Chia Seed Pudding recipes
I've been reading about the benefits of chia seeds and interested in using them more often in my plan. I made one last night for my breakfast this morning and I wasn't really thrilled. It was a chocolate pudding, made using cocoa powder. There was maple syrup as a sweetener but it didn't really cover the bitterness of the…
