A new journey
Hi there, I'm (re)joining MFP after a life of struggling with food and weight. Since the new year, I've slowly started adding health conscious habits to my daily routine and now it's time to start taking a closer look at my food. I would love to add friends of all kinds for motivation, check-ins, tips, etc. It would be…

National Quitters Day
About five years ago, Strava did some research. I think it's OK to mention Strava here because there's a way to link data from Strava to our MFP exercise diary. They looked over all their user data and determined that the second Friday in January is when people start to give up on their New Year's resolutions - 80% of…

Can you add Caloric Density as a category for tracking and categorizing foods in the diary?
This might be a shot in the dark... It's nice that we have so many options to categorize our food tracking (macros, straight calories, heart healthy, or low carb) but I'm wondering if there is anything in the works to add caloric density to that list. Although calorie density may be less well known than other weight…

Unsure exactly how much to eat to meet goals
Hello, if I have the data currently set to about 2800 calories a day with a goal of losing 0.5 calories a week, am I supposed to eat exactly to 2800? Or go below? How much below? I'm just realizing now that losing weight probably means going under calorie figures and I need help knowing how to adjust.

Copy a recipe instead of creating from scratch
I heavily use the create a recipe feature and have a ton of my recipes saved. I sometimes have a few different variations for my recipe - e.g., I’ll make the same chili recipe but decide to occasionally use turkey instead of beef. In these cases, I have to edit the recipe to fit my meal. With my chili recipe as an example,…

I don't know what I am doing wrong
I started my weight loss journey October 5. I am following what my dietician and weight loss doctor's "orders". I have dropped my calories down to 1200 and log everything. I exercise every day. At first, I was losing 1 or 2 pounds a week. I had actually dropped 20 pounds then about a week or week and a half ago I get on…

Is there a way to create reports tracking specific foods vs micro/macronutrients?
I'd like to set goals and track specific food like red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, veg, protein, fats, vegetables, & fruits. I haven't figured out if/how this can be done. I would appreciate any tip/info. Thanks

Can’t believe how low calorie this was! Set me off right
I tried a mix of the baked oatmeal fad and this girl’s trick for losing 60kg. Her “trick” is to sneak in veggies and certain fruits to meals because they have low calorie high density (and of course, high nutrition). I modified hers a bit (she used zucchini but I didn’t have that on hand), I threw shredded carrots and…

Night Shift
Hey guys! I need some advice as a night shift nurse. I know many of y’all work the graveyard shift and I work from 7pm-7am. And I get hungry at midnight and after usually. How can I keep the calories low so it doesn’t add up too much as I go home and have my regular 3 meals? Do they count for the previous day? Does anyone…

Accountability
Do you notice that when we keep each other accountable, it helps achieve goals? I read somewhere that people who hold each other accountable are 65% more successful in reaching their goals? Is anyone interested in starting a group in which we message each other daily or just post daily as to how we are doing and make sure…

A guide to get you started on your path to Sexypants.
I generally think that people put emphasis on things that either don't matter at all or only matter a small amount while ignoring the things that matter a great deal. Overview of what I think is important: * Eat the appropriate caloric (and macronutrient) intake for your goals and track intake accurately. I think eating…

I can’t believe it works!
So I’ve been consistently logging for over a week now, and I can’t believe it works! I’m down 6lbs so far. I’ve tried a lot of restrictive dieting in the past, for example extended juice fasts to lose weight since nothing else seemed to work. It’s nice to know that I can still enjoy the foods I like and lose weight as long…

Unable to save my homemade recipes
For over a couple of weeks now (pretty much since the last update), I have not been able to save my personal recipes.

The operation couldn't be completed.…
