Semi-new
Good morning everyone! My name is Brianna, I’m 23, from MA. I began my weight loss journey during the new year (keeping my resolution strong and steady!) and I've lost about 40ish pounds now. I was at 240lbs, I am now at 198lbs. I started with the carnivore diet with my husband in January for the month and lost 20lbs that…
On my journey to lose 126lbs!!!
Hello, today is the start of a new me, a healthier lifestyle! I currently started a calorie deficit diet, I will be working out 5 days a week, 30-40min high intensity. So any encouragement or tips will be greatly appreciated!!!
Change calorie not working
Apple iPhone I am trying to change my calorie goal but when I click on the # of calories I get a dialog box that says I have to change my nutrients to percentages instead of grams. So I click on the nutrients and change the view to % but the little check mark to make the change doesn’t work. It’s there but unclickable. How…
trying to make friends that workout
Hi guys, im a teenager and i just got into working out and keeping track of protein/kal intake!! im looking forward to connecting with people who can help me on this journey!!
Finally getting back to it
Generally, been struggling to stay consistent with my weight loss goals for the past year or so, sitting at a clean 205lb trying to drop to 175lb. Managed to stay below yesterday (a lot of it was realizing how high-calorie some of my snacks that didn't have nutrition labels were) and I'm really trying to go for it today.…
Fasted toggle button for certain meals
It would be beneficial to have an option next to each meal that indicates if you fasted through that particular meal. If you selected "fasted" it would be even more beneficial to reallocate those calories into the remaining meals.
I am lost on the goal calories.
Im trying to lose weight am I supposed to stay under the goal calories or go over them? I'm very new at counting calories and thought I was supposed to stay around 1,200-1,400 a day my goal daily is 2,040. When I completed my dairy for the day with just going over my goal calories it showed I would weigh less in 5 weeks…
Why don’t the calories burned showing in my watch, also show up in MFP?
Hey everyone, so I’m on this amazing health journey like so many others! I have been wearing my Garmin Vivo Sport watch for months and it seems fairly accurate. I connected it to MFP about two weeks ago. I see the calories that I burn being counted properly on my watch, yet it will show like 4 calories burned in MFP?!…
How Accurate Are MyFitnessPal Calorie Estimates?
Do you find MyFitnessPal’s calorie counts to be accurate? Any tips for making sure you’re logging correctly?
Suggested calorie intake with Apple Watch tracking
I am trying to work out the best way to track what my calorie intake should be. I have a very physical job, window cleaning, which involves carrying ladders, climbing up and down ladders to clean windows. If I track this as “other” on Apple Watch, It averages about 2000 calorie burn per day. I also do cardio and strength…
When do I go into maintenance mode?
I am trying to figure out what weight I should set my goals for and maintain and I am not sure which is healthy according to my body size. Is there a way I could calculate which weight is good for me?
Calorie targets
So apparently aiming for less than 1000 calories a day is unhealthy but you need to aim for a calorie deficit of 500 less than your maintenance calorie target… My body scales suggest a maintenance goal of 1334 calories (I’m 5’ 2”) so minus 500 would be around 800 calories a day? Any thoughts from shorter ladies?
Is the amount of Calories in this app correct ?
Hi everyone ! I want to be in a calorie deficit but it’s telling me to eat 1750 - I think that’s insane. Does anyone have advice? Or how can I fix this in the app?
Multiple Goal “profiles” to toggle between
would be great to have multiple goal profiles, example a calorie goal for weight loss and a calorie goal to maintain. This would allow when going on vacation to easily switch from working on losing weight to just maintaining. Then after vacation would switch back.
Enable Negative Adjustments with Strava
I enabled Enable Negative Adjustments as per instructions and my strava walk came through as -500 calories which reduced my allowed calories for the day.. Surely this should bump my calorie intake up than penalize for being active.. Is this right?
Cheat Code: Engaged
Hello men, Just found a cheat code to getting my calorie count up. My goal has been 3000 cals for about a year and I had, despite 4 meals/day + a 600 cal snack + a 300 cal fruit dessert, I was barely scraping 2500 cals. I was sad. Enter in 2 slices of toast, slathered with 2 table spoons of peanut butter, dusted with…
Exercise calories
Hi all, I’m just wondering, given we burn calories from exercise and these additional calories are added to our daily allowance, should we be eating these extra calories or do we just stick to our usual daily allowance?
Auto update Meals when Recipes change
I would like to suggest a change/feature that Meals automatically update when a Recipe is changed which is used inside a Meal. Usecase: I habe multiple recipes which I use for different meals or make a meal out of different recipes. I can than just log the meal in most cases and if needed individual recipes as extra or…
Help with Calorie deficiency
I'm trying to figure out if what I'm doing is good for weightloss. According to my weight goal on MFP it says I should be taking in 2500 calories a day. Today I am around 1100 intake and a net of 300. Should I up my intake or just roll with it? I feel good and my hunger is satisfied.
Hello New to This Community - Getting in Shape
Hi all, trained for years and then since COVID lost my way. Looking ideas for last meal before bed. I'm dropping 400 cals from maintenance weight but struggling to remember good recipe ideas.
Setting a goal?
I’m 28, height 5’7” and 168 lbs. I workout 3 days a week. And work is standing up with walking between 8500 to 10000 a day. What should I set my calorie intake to if I’m trying to lose weight. Shooting for about 10 lbs
Recommendations for most accurate AI food scanner app?
There are lots of apps that have come out lately where you can take a photo of your food and it’ll tell you all the calories in it. I’m curious if anybody has found one that works pretty accurately?
Step - calories
How is it that I earn a 437 calorie adjustment for walking 14,000 steps one day but 1,000 calorie adjustment for walking 15,000 the next?? That is not proportionate at all. Makes me wonder how accurate the system is overall … Any ideas??
Calories changing!
Hi everyone! I am on my 2nd day with this app and very fresh to the calorie counting! My question is, why does my calories amount left go up after exercise? I had about 1300 calories left and now that I’ve been for a walk it has gone up to 1700.. do I have to consume all 1700 left to still lose weight? Any insight is much…
