Need Surveyors for an App I'm Designing
Hello. I’m a UX/UI design student currently developing an app that encourages people to cook more meals at home rather than relying on takeout or dining out. The app focuses on helping users discover recipes, challenges, and motivation to make home cooking easier and more enjoyable. I’m looking for about 15 participants…
use measurements / weights instead of "number of servings" in recipes
I'm new to the forum so this suggestion may have already been made… I'm finding it frustrating that when you add a recipe to calculate calories and macros, it uses "number of servings" instead of weights. I get it… that's quicker and easier and matches many online recipes. But if we're trying to be precise, we need to be…
Let us name the units for a recipe
When I set up a recipe, I can make the whole batch, and then indicate how many servings it makes. The app does the division and lists nutrition/serving. Then we can add multiples or fractions of servings to the diary. This is great. But when I make that recipe again months later will I remember how large I made those…
My Recipes search enhancements
I was recently trying to find a recipe for something I had made previously but wasn't able to find it. Over the years I've added a lot of recipes in Fitnesspal - 31 pages of them when I look on the website! - and trying to find them is NOT easy. I think it would be helpful if the recipes I added in Fitnesspal could be…
Newbie
hello Wanting to change my eating habits and try some fasting as well. Welcoming any helpful tips, to start out?
Hi Everyone
Hi Everyone. I have been using this app for 2 months and I depend on it. I recently lost my wife and have had to learn how to cook for myself. I can boil stuff and microwave everything but my fitness pal has been so helpful. I am happy to meet new friends and be apart of their healthy eating journey.
High Fiber Meal Plans
I recently tested the premium meal plans feature. I choose Flexatarian as my approach because it was described as "focus on unsaturated fats and fiber-rich food." However, the recipes that were selected weren't very high in fiber at all. So I swapped out all the recipes for recipes where beans were the key ingredient.…

Recipe Section
When I check my recipes, not all of them are there. However, when I add food and select recipes, several of them show that are not in the recipe section. How do I retrieve them as they have the ingredients and why are they not showing?

How to give feedback
is there any way to give feedback to the App people? The recipe for Asian Apple Citrus Salad does not contain any citrus…did they forget the citrus?
Who says dieting can be boring???
When I first tried losing weight I really hated it, it felt like a complete punishment. “You cant have food until you’ve lost weight!” is what I told myself, so I ate a consistent diet of Chicken Salads, Chicken Breasts and greens for months; and I detested it. Well, 60lbs+ lost and my perspective has completely changed.…
Meal Planner with access to 'my meals'
The meal plans are currently limited to the MyFitnessPal recipes. Access to a blank meal planner that we can then pull our own recipes, along with the MF recipes, into would make weekly meal planning much easier and avoid having to use other apps or spreadsheets. Being able to scroll across a whole week that easily and…

Allow feedback on recipe errors
I was looking at a recipe that is from your database, but there is an ingredient error, so I dont know if the nutritional info is correct, and there is no way to report the error so that you can correct it. I am trying to upload a screenshot here, but the app keeps sending an error message. It is the "Tuna and White Bean…

Can't edit and save recipes
For at least a couple of weeks I have been unable to edit and save recipes. I've sent this issue to MFP twice and have had no response or change. Has anyone else had this issue, or found a work around on this. I'm finding this quite challenging when I'm trying to track all my calories.
Go to quick meals?
Hello, I usually get off work pretty late and always struggle with figuring out a quick and healthy meal. I usually end up grabbing fast food. Does anyone have go-to meals that are easy to cook and don’t take a lot of time?

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…
Why are my list of recipes being limited to just 20?
I think there is a bug here. i have had an account for a few years at least. I just noticed that I only have 20 recipes stored in my recipes section. Every time I add one, the oldest one goes away. Can this be fixed?
Recipe Serving Size Yieldings
Hello, I was wondering if you could tell us exactly how many cups, ounces, etc. are in a serving for each recipe. For example, instead of just saying “serves 4” can you break it down to “each serving yields 1 cup.” I need to know exactly how much of something to eat. TIA!

Fave Fish and Chicken Recipes?
I’m trying to keep to chicken and fish, but I feel like it always tastes the same everytime I make it! I think I’m just not that creative 😂 I usually prefer salmon as my choice of fish, but I eat just about any of it!
