Breakfast Alternatives
I'm looking for a tasty & quick way to eat a healthy breakfast. I usually do a toast, bagel, or something on the go. I've tried First Watch breakfast or Panera but it has so many calories. I fast at night so I eat breakfast and lunch and skip dinner. Any suggestions?
Homemade Sauce and Marinade Recipe Ideas!
I didn't see a thread specifically for this topic - would love to get your homemade sauce and marinade ideas - extra bonus if nutrition info is compiled as well! Haven't personally written down my own creations, but will add to this thread occasionally myself with something I try that ends up being a "win" in my book.

Trying Again
I've now turned 66 and officially retired. I have tried to keep to my 1100 calories a day. To give you an idea of my diet, my day starts with water, 2 slices of white bread and a microwaved egg (faster than hard boiling) Then it's lunch, a bread roll with either cheese or ham. Evening meal is usually mashed baked potato,…

Bring back calories in recipes
Now i cant choise 1 and 100 gram anymore on recipes i made my selv. I can only break it down into the number of potions, which is incredibly unhelpful
Kale & Chicken Soup
So we have a bearded dragon that we buy vegetables for, and I want to try and find uses for the large amount of leftover he doesn't eat, since he's just one small lizard, lol! This week we bought kale, and I'll be honest, I've never had kale before! But I knew it could be used in soup, so I made an experimental soup last…

This is my go-to fave of the moment! :) * The actual recipe is behind a NY times firewall but, will post the link below. * You'll also see the ingredients and a pic of the finished product. * To lower the calories, I switched the olive oil to avocado oil * Also added shrimp to make it a meal or, you can leave it out. *…
Calculate a Serving "Size"
Greetings, Nearly all recipes you find are quick to tell you the number of servings a dish was designed to provide, but they never tell you just how much a serving is, whether in standard or metric units. Maybe MFP could have a bit of code that helps calculate this information based on the amounts of the ingredients in the…

Can I edit recipes in existing foods
Hi - I've looked for answers to this but it seems inconclusive; others have asked similar questions with no answers and I've seen a tech support comment elsewhere around this but with no clear solution: Is it possible to edit an existing recipe within the system? For example, I scanned a bar code on a marmalade item that…
Copy Recipe or Meal to Change Items
Greetings, When it comes to recipes, I have several that are essentially the same thing, but one ingredient has changed; for example, I have two salad recipes where the protein changes (one has chicken, one has pork). I'd like the ability to copy recipes and meals with new names so I don't have to re-invent the wheel every…
High-ish protein, low effort pre gym snacks?
Hey y'all, I'm looking for some ideas on the above - high protein, low effort - pre gym snacks that isn't gonna break the bank. I've looked into a lot of protein bars and snacks and they're just ridiculously expensive for one package. Any homemade recipes would be greatly appreciated! Ideally those without adding protein…
Heart Healthy Diet
Hello everyone, I found out that i need to start taking high blood pressure medication. I didn't log anything for the last couple of days due to the fact of feeling disappointed and scared for not controlling my bad habits. I don't blame anything but myself control. So for anyone who has been on a heart healthy diet and…
I’m New
Hi - I’m just learning the ropes and would appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.
Hello all!
This is my second time on myfitnesspal, which is a great app. I've never had a big problem with my weight, but I do find myself slipping up every few years. Five or more pounds can creep up on you if you're not paying attention. ;) I use it mostly to get my weight back to what I consider my best level. I'm fairly petite,…
'Save As' for recipe creation
I like to have multiple versions of the recipe's I create. For example, same recipe except for a different meat. It would be great to be able to create recipe's by saving and editing an existing recipe rather than having to create from scratch.

Great minds think alike - so let's be friends!
Hi, my name is Jessica (26, f) and I've been working on my fitness, weight and overall health over the last one and a half years. I thought it would be nice to meet more people with a similar mindset! My family and friends are supportive enough, but generally don't really understand why I am doing what I am doing. My tool…
Add Recipes to Recipes
Greetings, I would like to have the option to add existing recipes to new recipes. For example, when we have homemade meatloaf, I use the leftover meatloaf in a sandwich later in the week; so I'd like to add a measured amount of the meatloaf recipe I already have as an ingredient in my meatloaf sandwich recipe. Cheers
Create recipe from my foods
Currently the only way to add ingredients to a recipe is adding through the web or bulk. I’d like to see an option somewhere that allows me to use food items that I’ve created (in the My meals, recipes, and food section). This will save me time when creating my recipes as I won’t have to look through a long list of search…
