Food Logging

First time
I started 7 weeks ago trying to lose weight and lost so far 13 pounds. I spend an hour fast walking on my treadmill and a half hour at the gym doing strength exercises. I need to lose 54 more pounds to get to my weight goal of 165 pounds. I figure it will take me a year to get to my goal. I am glad I work from home,…
Asian Recipes That Fit Macros - Survey
When I was weight lifting regularly, I found myself hating most of the recipes that were recommended on weight lifting forums. I love cooking and could be described as a “foodie” so eating chicken and broccoli variations with little flavor was incredibly depressing. I ended up creating a huge spreadsheet of my favorite…

Are we logging fruit and veg or not? 😂
I know there are pros and cons to both sides, and I know what I was told to do in the past, however I want to know what everyone’s opinions are. Can I just say I am talking like a sensible amount of veg with each meal or an apple a day, not snacking on about 40 different fruits and then having a fruit smoothie - I would…

MY MOTIVATIONAL PHRASES: EAT FROM THE EARTH, NOT FROM THE STORE
HOW TO STOP HATING YOUR DIET My own advice I need to follow If the food in the store is from the earth, of course you're fine. The trouble is PACKAGED food. The royals do not eat any packaged food, so I tell myself that I'm eating like a royal. Tell yourself it's simple and easy to stop eating bad food even though it feels…

Tips on Logging Restaurant Meals (when nutrition info is available)
Hey Y'all! I've been trying to be pretty mindful about logging just about everything I eat lately. I even go as far as weighing most of my food to ensure accuracy. Where I get most tripped up is logging for restaurant meals - especially those where the nutrition details are nowhere to be found. I try to find something…

Allow deductions/negative quantities.
Meals are often listed here is a complete form. Let's say I buy a supermarket salad that comes with a dressing, but I don't use the dressing, the nutritional information includes that dressing. It's possible to find values for the dressing and do the math to create a new food (e.g. "xxx salad without dressing") but it…

Goal Setting
Hello, I'd like to set my goals to a specific protein, fat, carb independent of the calories. When I change the macros, the calories change as well. How can I bypass this to get what I need. I am a premium member. Thanks.

The ability to make your own serving size for a food
Very often when I'm tracking bread, the serving size for 1 slice is usually incorrect or completely missing. This is very annoying and makes tracking a lot harder. Please make it so you can create your own serving size for a specific food, so that serving size is saved in your account and is only active for you. Thank you.
Why do my macros keep changing/resetting?
I keep setting my macros to a specific percentage for carbs/fat/protein and it keeps changing on me constantly. I think it stays for maybe a day and then resets to some arbitrary amount. Anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?
