Search Function for Previously-Logged Items
Logging food items has meaningfully helped my progress in monitoring my diet. At times, I want to know when the last time it was when I consumed a certain food item (to give myself an idea of intervals, etc.), but there isn't yet a function for a search to return a list of times when the searched item were logged. I think…

Weighing food, before or after cooking?
So ive just had a roast dinner, mainly veg, my question is do you weight the food before or after its cooked? I weighed it all after cooking as i plated which means it came out at just over 700 cals, which seems a hell of a lot but wondered if that was mainly water weight? Im curious on how others do it, thank you

Fitbit/ fitdays scale
Hello all, I am hoping someone can help me with some advice on digital scales and fitbit calculations. I recently bought a digital scale. Firstly, I was shocked at my weight (15kg to loose) and BMI (28.2) Is it normal that digital scales show more weight than a regular, old fashioned one? Having been even more determined,…

What am I doing wrong
I've been at this 5 weeks. Tracking food, and working out, and I've only have seen a small amount of weight loss starting 143 down to 140. According to the "if you eat like this every day you should weigh" at the end of every completed diary, I should be down to 135. I drink at least 10 glasses of water a day and I'm…

Filter foods by whether they list weight
I like to weigh my food when possible. I find it's usually much more accurate and variations between similar listings in the database are often much smaller when I factor in weight (e.g. 2 different store bought cookies with wildly different calories are likely two very different sizes and not two drastically different…

Calculate a Serving "Size"
Greetings, Nearly all recipes you find are quick to tell you the number of servings a dish was designed to provide, but they never tell you just how much a serving is, whether in standard or metric units. Maybe MFP could have a bit of code that helps calculate this information based on the amounts of the ingredients in the…
