Is 79 gams of fats and 89 grams of sugar daily intake too much?
Hi, I am a male 1.86m, 75kg, BMI 21.5 and I would like to lose a bit of weight to have 72kg (because this is when I feel the best).

Taking back my life
Hi my name is Courtney and I am 39yo. I have spent the last 15 years battling with my weight, I've tried countless fad/yo-yo diets only to lose a little and gain back twice as much as I lost. My current weight is the highest it's ever been and after some recent health issues I have decided that it's time I take back…
What activity level do I enter? Newbie here, please help!
I workout 4-5x a week, mainly 4. What would I put my activity level at in the settings? Would I put lightly active or something else?
Not losing weight very quickly
In the past when I've concentrated on losing weight with this app I've lost weight so quickly. This time my body is stubbornly holding on to weight. I've only lost a little over 2 lbs in 11 days and I've been religiously tracking, exercising and drinking pretty much nothing but water. I eat mostly lean protein and lots of…
May have overreacted 😁
I did gain this week but no where as much as I thought I would. I gained.6lbs for a total gain over two weeks of 2.4lbs. I'm going to stick with 1200-1500 calories for awhile. Here's to getting back on track!
Hello!
I am back after a long break! I just went to the doctor today and learned my A1c is up from 7.0 to 8.3. I am a stress eater and in the past 6 months I have had my share of stress!

Stuck at home! Eating everything in sight!
Well two weeks after hitting my goal of losing 100lbs, I've gained some back. This week I've been stuck in the house due to a winter storm, I'm from the south we don't do snow & ice, lol. So I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in, I have been an eating machine at night. I've done this before, lost a bunch of weight…
First time using My Fitness Pal

Can you add Caloric Density as a category for tracking and categorizing foods in the diary?
This might be a shot in the dark... It's nice that we have so many options to categorize our food tracking (macros, straight calories, heart healthy, or low carb) but I'm wondering if there is anything in the works to add caloric density to that list. Although calorie density may be less well known than other weight…

A Re-Introduction
Hello, my name is Adam. I'm now 40 years old and I am a Wisconsinite living in the Chicagoland area. I've struggled with weight my entire life. I've done it all.

Hello - 50 in August - my goal for weight loss
This isn't my first rodeo with MyFitnessPal but it's like my comfort blanket weight loss app. For 40 years I was thin and athletic but early perimenopause kicked me in the metabolism quite badly and for the last 9 years I have gone over my goal/standard/normal weight by 2 and a half stone, and up nearly 3 dress sizes. I…

Hi y'all, I just got prescribed Wegovy, I hadn't started it yet, I have a few questions. I hear that low carb is the way to go for this...for those that are taking Wegovy or something similar, how are your macros/calorie counts set up? Also, what side effects have you experienced and how did you mitigate them?
Why is nothing working?
Hello everyone! I have been trying for the last couple months to regain my confidence and lose 30 pounds. I am at 146.2 and I dream of getting to 116.
