Since the other thread got locked, I'm starting a new one.
MFP Shows Incorrect Number of Steps (AppleWatch)
So I've just started getting back into using MFP and the # of steps it shows is way off compared to what my AppleWatch and Health app say. For example, they both say I have about 4,200 steps while MFP shows the exact same # on the main dashboard, but when I go into the diary it shows like 7,800 steps!! Any idea why there…

food logging
So I logged for the first time today and I'm double the suggested calories. I'm new, names Michelle from Pennsylvania, and I've chosen the fasting 14:10 plan. I'm crossing my fingers. Anyone have any suggestions?
How do you guys handle tracking calories without falling back into ED habits?
So heres my situation. For reference I am 5’8 (don’t read if sensitive to mentions of anorexia) Since August 2023 I’ve gained a lot of weight. Due to what I think was an anti depressant, we ran hormone and other health tests but everything was normal. Here’s the timeline: August 2023 130 lbs Started med September 2023…

Continuing to log food intake
it’s so discouraging sometimes when I think I’ve actually done a good job staying in my calorie intake range and seeing that I’ve still gone over.

Bariatric patient and recovering alcoholic looking for support
Hello there my name is Megan, I am a 30 yr old recovering alcoholic who began my weight loss journey back in 2017. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2018 with no complications but sadly turned to alcohol instead of food for my stress and lack of mental health options where I was living at the time. I have end stage liver…
New here, again
Hi all, 11 years ago I lost 53 lbs through MFP, but over the years and hormone changes, I’ve now gained back quite a bit of it. So I’m going to give this another go! Shout out to everyone who keeps on trying. I welcome friends who are accepting of themselves and others. Punsters, punks and poets particularly welcome 😁
Are active suggestions ever going to be considered?
I've submitted some from 2024 for using the food diary and for the general condition of the database that are still listed as active. The most bothersome are: 1) For search results, especially for those older items that I hadn't added, a method of showing whether I can use an item rather than going through checking its…
Weed out the incomplete entries in the Food database especially those missing Potassium content
I've found a lot of the entries in the food database are incomplete but marked with a green badge. Nutrients like potassium are often zero for foods that have a significant amount of it. I really need to watch my potassium and have trouble finding the right green badge entry listing it. I do vote that those not containing…
Finally checking in
trying to get and stay fit in my mid-fifties. Feeling alone and isolated even though I know I’m not. Thought I’d drop an intro here to get connected. I am learning to enjoy exercising again, with modifications for now. I go to a Barre blend class 2x week, and this summer an early morning HIIT workout twice a week. I’m…
Saying hello!
been using MFP on and off quietly in the background. I’ve lost 150ish lbs over the past three years. Never reached goal weight, but it’s creeping back on and I just want once and for all to lose this last 30lbs and maintain in a 5lb range. I can be a great cheerleader and looking for like minded people. Me and my grandson…

Volume Eaters Thread
I have recently come to the conclusion that volume eating is best suited for me. Eating mainly vegetarian means I can eat copious amounts of food and stay in my calorie goal. Are there others out there who do the same? Let's exchange ideas. Here is what I ate today: Breakfast, large shake with 2 cups spinach, almond milk,…
Missing a scheduled meal makes me RAVENOUS
Hey guys! I'm doing pretty well on my weight loss journey nutrition wise. I finally figured out my protein and fiber and hit my daily calorie goal. This makes weight loss and eating less bearable. Here is my roadblock. I get hungry every 4 hours, and if I miss a scheduled meal at that time I usually overeat a little. For…
Feature Suggestion: Auto-select Ingredients from Logged Meals for Easy Copying or Saving as Recipe
I often prepare meals that I eat over multiple days. When logging a meal (for example, lunch), I scan barcodes and weigh all the ingredients, which then get saved in my food diary for that specific day and meal. However, if I want to eat the exact same meal the next day or save it as a reusable recipe after I’ve already…

New and Nervous
Hello. I joined this app mostly to track my eating habits and to try to increase my fiber intake. I’m 34 and found out I have benign (but precancerous) colon polyps. So I’m trying not to see that as an eventual death sentence but rather a needed lifestyle change. While I do try to buy organic I also don’t skip the drive…
Fat loss
Hello and greetings to you all
Hi I just signed up a few days ago. I like how the app records / tracks what I eat. It helps keep me accountable for what I consume. I normally mindlessly graze on snacks throughout the day so mindfully writing everything down is a big help. I have experienced both dramatic weight loss and gain in recent years due to…
