Restaurant logging
I was hoping some folks could share any tips/tricks for how they log meals when they eat out. How do you get it the most accurate? How do you enjoy a meal out while staying within your calorie range?
How do I add a saved "My Meals" meal to my Food Diary?
I have a saved meal but there is no option on the "My Meals" tab to actually add it to the diary. I only use the website as the App is not compatible with my mobile device.
How do you deal with people cooking for you?
I must be the only person to complain that their partner wants to cook for them.. but im currently really enjoying tracking what I eat and achieving my fitness goals. I'm struggling with him cooking meals and me not knowing exactly what's in them. It makes me want to exercise more / eat less during the day so I know I'll…
Intermittent fasting & calorie count
Hi everyone my name is Michelle. I started intermittent fasting without realizing a year ago. And then this past July I started tracking it. My baseline usually last between 16 hours to 24 hours sometimes 42 hours. Although, yes I eat in the greenlight foods because I’ve overcame food addiction. I feel calorie counting may…

Looking for friends who log their meals (and let me spy on their food diaries lol) and would love friends…

Tips please for logging food when cooking from scratch
Hello there, I find it so cumbersome to track every single ingredient because I like to cook from scratch (which is healthier). So much easier to scan a bar code than weight each zucchini, eggplant, lamb, bread and Mayo like I did last time when I made a sandwich or when I made a ceasar salad with a twist. So I often don't…
Custom Datasets
Would love a way to add a custom dataset. User could add a dataset to track. Examples could be: blood sugar or pulse rate or blood pressure. Personally,. I have another app to track my sugar levels, would love for that to be part of the app.
Where do I go to track food?
The app has changed a lot since I used it before. I can't find where to go to begin tracking. And can you still enter in favorite recipes for easy tracking?
Support and Encouragement!
Hello! I am new to this particular part of MFP. It seemed like a nice place to start, looking to meet people who understand what I'm going through.

New me in '23
I'm Tim - going to be 65 in a few days and have given myself a very ambitious goal that I call "over 60, under 10": over 60 years old, under 10% body fat. Big believer in the maxim "If you believe you can, you might do it - if you believe you can't you definitely won't do it. I had both knees replaced in the Fall of '21…

Looking for some friends who can relate to compulsive eating habits, binging and purging and recovery. Currently learning to manage my food and intake in a mindful way (with…
Weekend Struggles!
This weekend was hard for me to stay on track with eating and exercise. I was able to push through it with discipline and my goals in mind. I took accountability today which is something I’m learning to do. It’s never too late to level up.
I'm welcoming myself back to the MFP world!
Hi! I just rejoined the land of trying to get healthy! I gave up on my self a couple of years ago (right around when covid took over the world) and have jumped back on the bandwagon to try to get healthier! I did gain about 25 # over the past few years and have already shed around 7 # - more to come! I've got 27 more #s…
Continually Improving
Hi. Just started today, am doing a personal continuous improvement project for weight loss for my six sigma green belt class so I can get my certification. So, it’s a must! Been trying for years, did achieve weight loss before but not in a way it will stick. Hopefully from the app and the class I can learn to stick to my…

Diary/Database Frustration/Fail. Have you had one yet?
I decided to whip up something simple tonight. I couldn't decide if I wanted split peas or lentils. I made an easy decision; both! They cook for different amounts of time, but that's easy to manage. I started with a mirepoix and added mushrooms and garlic. When the garlic just started to be aromatic, I added enough water…

Healthiest options to order at a hibachi restaurant?
Everything looks like it's cooked in so much oil. And I dislike going out to eat sometimes because I can't track macros. How do I go about tracking? Guestimates? I was thinking of getting hibachi shrimp with veggies or soybean edamame?
