Early morning weigh-in after big protein dinner
Hi everyone! If I had a big protein dinner by 18:20 is it best that I don't eat anything else so that I don't sabotage tomorrow's early morning weigh-in and cancel out any incidental activity/exercise I've done earlier today?
Eating at 1600 calories with 1700-2300 3 days a week since May 20th

How do Net Calories work?
Hii I'm new to the site and still getting a feel for how everything is calculated and set up, and though I've grasped the basics of the Net Calorie calculator, there's something I don't quite get. For example, my net calorie goal is 1,200. If my calculator ends up looking something like this; 0 (food) - 50 (exercise) = -50…

How Often Do You Weigh Yourself? I prefer to weigh in daily, typically every morning. I think it helps me to stay on track and makes it easier for me track weight loss/gain.

Pull all relevant record types from Google Health Connect
I use Google Health Connect to collect my health data from multiple sources. This includes workout info from my fitness apps, weight and body fat from my smart scale, and steps from my watch. I love that MFP pulls in the workout data from Health Connect so I don't need to re-log everything in the app, but weight and steps…

I had one half piece of a large…
Adaptive TDEE tracking

Weight Per Serving for Imported Recipe
Once a recipe is imported, the macros are divided by servings, so I have to estimate my serving size to determine my macros. It would be nice if based on the ingredients in my recipe, I could still choose grams or other measures. This way I can cook my recipe, weight my portion, and input based on weight.

Do you put your weight in MFP every time you weigh yourself?
I weigh myself almost every day right before I take a shower in the morning. When I did WW I didn't put my weight in the app - I waited for the meeting. I've been hit or miss entering weights here but I'm thinking I'm going to go back to only entering once a week. What do you all do?
