Greetings!
just want to say hello
Hey!
I’ve been using mfp for quite some time off and on, but have never used the community feature and want to give it a go! I’ve been through a bunch of huge life changes this year and have gained weight, so really wanting to lock in and get back to my 60kg goal by summer! It’s almost the end of winter here in Melbourne,…
So helpful
Due to a near fatal car accident, my body became exceptionally vulnerable with a compromised immune system. I was on high doses of prednisone for three years and gained 50 pounds. I had been tall and thin my whole life, but my back was broken in two places and the first surgery was a mess. A year later I had a second back…

Editing meal plan recipes?
Hi there! I recently joined for the meal planning feature, but having trouble figuring out how to edit a recipe provided by the App (for example, if I substitute an item, omit an ingredient, or use a different amount of something than called for). Is this even possible? Thanks for any insight you can provide!
Eating out
So I’m new to all of this, and frankly, last week I hardly knew what a calorie was aside from it being what I ate and how to spell it. That being said, I also haven’t been eating fast food for quite awhile now, to the point that it doesn’t taste like I remembered. So my question here is, how do I log what I eat if I do eat…
Not Giving Up
Hello - I'm in my 50's and have ~200 lbs to lose. I'm not new to MyFitnessPal but I am new to the community boards. It would be awesome to find support and interact with people who are similarly trying to make changes even if it seems quite daunting. Wishing everyone the best!
I want to create a food. Can someone explain serving size, value, unit & servings per container
As an example I have a baguette. The nutrition description on the back of the bag is for 1/2 the baguette. I eat a quarter of the baguette per serving. So if I want to post an entry for that how would I do it? Re serving size, value, unit & servings per container? Also will it automatically half the ingredients for me, or…
Can't edit and save recipes
For at least a couple of weeks I have been unable to edit and save recipes. I've sent this issue to MFP twice and have had no response or change. Has anyone else had this issue, or found a work around on this. I'm finding this quite challenging when I'm trying to track all my calories.
What's with those unlogical zillion decimal numbers that MFP is now adding automaticaly???
When I go to my Food Diary and want to Add Food, the list of my previously entered food shows the numbers which are completely gone crazy!? For example: Last time I ate 40 g of Prosciutto and I entered 40 grams but now it says 0.4000000059604645. Same thing is for Kimchi Noodle: I added 120 grams but now it says…
Who prefers the old food diary
I got a message on FB from MFP re: the reverting to the old format of the food diary is temporary while they work on a bug… Who prefers the old format ?? Maybe a show of 'hands' will get someone's attention that the old version is more logical, easier to read, safer for those who need info for insulin/med dosing, and…
How to edit a meal
I'm looking everywhere on how to edit or delete a meal and cannot find anything. Please help me.
Integration with Nutrisense app
I've followed the instructions to the T, still the nutrisense app and MFP app are not syncying… I don't want o add my meals twice 3-4 times a day. Does anyone know why is this happening?
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…
