Recipe Pet Peeve.
My apologies in advance. Mini rant: You know what is an awesome cooking tip? Only rating and praising an online recipe after you've made and/or tried the recipe. It drives me insane when scouring blogs, forums, websites, etc looking for a recipe, to read the reviews on a highly rated recipe, only to see comment after…
Vegan low calorie high protein foods
I am finding it hard to consume enough protein without blowing calories and fat content. (It’s incredible how much fat there is in food like a homemade vinaigrette, an avocado, nut butter, etc). I would love to know your favourite low calorie, high protein foods and recipes!
Portion size in My Recipes?
Hi all, when I create my own recipes it asks for number of servings. For something like soups, if I forget to save the individual portions in the fridge, I can’t recall how much makes up a serving (ie cup, ounce, etc) is there a way to add that to the recipe?
Gluten Free, bc the IgE
TL;DR: What are your favorite GF meals that don’t necessarily rely on the processed replacement foods? I couldn’t think of a decent title, lol. As of my daughter’s doctor’s appointment yesterday, she is to go on a GF diet for the next 4-6 weeks. Given our budget, this means we’re all going GF. I’m already overwhelmed at…
enter recipe
I would like it if the personally recorded foodstuffs were displayed first when entering a recipe. When cooking, you tend to use your personally preferred foods that you have saved.
New to the group
Hello everyone! I am new to myfitnesspal. I am using the tools to track food and exercise. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I know from past experience that if I don't track what I do things get away from me. I used the WW program on and off for many years. It took a long time to stop looking at food and…
Gazpacho made with Love for my Husband
Hi there, I would like to share my Gazpacho recipe with you and hear if you tried it and what you think. My husband just loves it! I'll leave the measurements of ingredients up to you. One can of diced tomatoes. Spicy Vegetable Juice and Zesty Italian Dressing for the broth. Use the dressing sparingly as to not overwhelm…
Recipe Bank Servings and Calories
Hi! I have been using the My Fitness Plan recipe Bank and have really enjoyed it! My question is are the Calories they list per serving including the sides too? For example the Slow Cooker Tiki Chicken says to serve with 2 cups of cooked Brown Rice along with the chicken. Are the total calories for that recipe INCLUDING…
Breakfast Fried Rice - definately adding this to my rotation
Eggs, bacon, Riced Cauliflower & Shredded Cheese. I made a double batch so I have a meal ready to go tomorrow. Just need to dump in a skillet to warm it up. Tasted great and very filling. I would eat this even if I wasn’t dieting. Cook crumbled bacon (2 slices) remove some bacon grease if desired. Stir in 2 eggs and…
Losing weight after menopause
Good morning! I'm Keri, and starting again. My hubby and I are going to try weight watchers, 1st time he has really wanted to try anything. I'm excited and hope that we will stick with it. I'm 195 goal 150, and I'm 53 years old. My nest is almost empty, and I'm the main caretaker of my Mom who lives with us. I'm hoping to…
Sorting of search results for ingredients to be added in recipe
Please add sorting option by name, by calorie, or by created/updated date after searching for an ingredient to be added in a recipe. Alternatively, add user option to either add ingredients from personally created/added food or through search from ingredients added by other users. This suggested feature is not yet in…
Time to dust myself off!
Hey everyone. I'm not new to MFP but I fell off the wagon and I rolled all the way to the bottom of the hill. Lost about 20lbs and thought I could do it alone but ended up gaining all of it and some back instead. Any help and motivation appreciated. Starting over on Day 5! New motivated friends welcome.
Sheet pan chicken with cauliflower and olives question
I'm new to this counting macros and I need help. I'm meal prepping the sheet pan chicken with cauliflower and olives under the recipes and it says it serves 4. How do I adjust it to 1 serving in my diary? Also how do I know how much 1 serving is??? 😫 thank you for your help.
Newbie here!
So, I downloaded the My Fitness Pal app 7 years ago and did nothing with it. I am now back and ready to go. Looking forward to meeting new people and sharing recipes. I am also a hot yoga addict and look forward to meeting others with the same addiction :) namaste :)
Fell off the wagon
Hey ! I am starting my weight loss journey over again after falling off the wagon recently. I’d love an accountability partner and someone to help motivate me and to share recipes with!
Need Recipe Ideas
Hi, I'm new here & I was wondering if anyone could hook me up with some healthy airfryer recipes? Much appreciated :)
Intro
Hey everybody I'm Chris. Gonna give this app another go and see if being part of a community will help. Looking for some fine folks to share some vegetarian/pescatarian recipes, workout tips, and especially help with my motivation.
Hello Everyone👋

My go-to Mexican Chicken dinner
https://12tomatoes.com/one-pan-taco-chicken-bake/ So yummy and under 300 calories per serving.
Any moms of toddlers or little kids?
Are there any moms of little ones here? What healthy foods do you find that they enjoy? Do you have any tips for convincing a threenager to eat veggies? My one-year-old seems to love hummus, but the three-year-old won't even try it. Help?
How much should I eat before morning lift?
I normally lift in the afternoon/evening but need to switch it for vacation. I've struggled with morning lifts before feeling weak. If I eat a 300 calorie breakfast, how long should I wait to lift? 1.5 hour? Do I need more or less? (I'm 101 lbs)
Preworkout breakfast recipes?
I normally workout in the afternoon so I need some good ideas that will fuel me up 3 hours before my lifting session without weighing me down. I was thinking greek yogurt parfait? I normally eat a light breakfast so not sure how much to eat. :)
Low cal / no cal cold beverage recipes
Hey like the post title suggests I am looking for your best recipes for low / no calorie ice cold beverages. I drink a lot of coke no sugar but trying to cut back on that due to its effect on teeth.
Any other pescatarians?!
Hello! New member here. Wanted to start a discussion about struggles in getting enough protein as a pescatarian. I primarily eat plant-based with some seafood. Main sources of protein right now are tofu, beans, lentils, chia seeds, and vegan protein shakes (my filler). Any other protein recommendations I’m missing or…
Allergy Alternative...
I need help figuring out substitutions for avocados. I always hear people talking about how healthy avocado toast is, but since I am allergic to avocados I don't have that option. Any ideas on substitutions that are near the same amount of calories?
