FTM 5'5 206 LBS looking to lose fat and gain a fair amount of muscle
I think body recomposition would be in my best interest, but I don't want to look too big. I want to have broad shoulders and a big back. That's for sure. Legs are too big!! I think I already have a decent amount of muscle. I just have a high body fat percentage. I'm currently taking in ~1,200 calories a day since I'm…

Can I set Mini-Goals for Weight Loss?
My overall weight loss goal is to lose 30 pounds. However, along the way I'd like to set mini-goals (or milestones) for weight loss so that I feel successful in the small successes. My vision is to set a milestone mini-goals of 5 pounds each. Is there a way to do that in MFP? I know that I can alter my overall weight loss…

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.

Fix the app for those doing Keto! Don't reset goals just to update weight
I tried to update my weight today. And it warned me that by changing my weight, I'd have my goals reset. Why would I need my macro levels reset just because I weigh less? I understand that calorie intake and grams will change. But why change my percentages?! Every time I weigh in I have to reset my macros?

How often should I be weighing myself?
I don't want to end up becoming obsessed with the scale, but I'm also not sure how often I should be weighing myself (seeing as I don't even have a scale at home.) Do I just log my weight whenever I go to the doctors? Should I buy a digital scale?

My goals and me
What's up everyone, my name is Dylan, but my friends call me Hoss. I'm new to the tracking game, but a veteran in the workout game.

It's been 6 weeks since my last deload (which was hiking and some moto dirtbiking on vaca). Is this too soon?

Not losing weight. Why? Help please!
Hi everyone. I recently stopped breastfeeding and saw the scale increase so I’ve started calorie deficit (1200) and working out at least 3 times a week for the past 2 and a half weeks and I see no difference.

Can I lift after SIBO test prep?
I had to do a diet prep and fast for 13 hrs for the SIBO breath test. The diet yesterday included only rice, shrimp, eggs, and canned white potatoes. Then I drank the 75g glucose drink this morning.😖 I ate normal today but still feel a tiny "off". Do you think it's safe to workout if I feel up to it?

I crush my workouts after refeed days?
I know some do a refeed day when eating in deficit, but I eat at maintenance or a couple hundred cals above. And every so often I eat 500+ calories and while my stomach feels incredibly uncomfortable and I feel like a fat pos, I end up crushing my workouts the days following and feel less burnt out. Anyone else have this?…

Units of Measure for Create Recipe
The Create Recipe function is great. But the output is limited to "serving size." I would like to be able to select grams, or even add other units of measure as well. The only way to make it work is by doing a confusing workaround where you must manipulate the serving size.
