December Goals, Habit Tracking, & Motivation Journal
Hi! I wanted to create a space where I can share my goals for December, track my habits, and journal daily about my progress to keep me motivated. Keeping these things top of mind always seems to help, and I'd like to do a better job of tracking my journey and reviewing my wins/areas for improvement. I'll be posting in…
Losing half a pound everyday
11 day of counting my calories and the scales won't budge, even though there was huge calorie deficit. I started thinking of buying a new scale! Then 3 days ago, it so happened that I consumed only as many calories as needed (1,200). Next day, the scales moved! Continued for 3 days, and now I'm losing half a pound every…

Looking to have more friends who share food logs for some meal inspiration :) I cook most nights welcome to share mine too.
Fad Diets and general recommendations
Often times on myfitnesspal we get users asking about various diets such as one where you eat all bananas or one where you drink cayenne pepper and lemon juice daily. I wanted to make a brief video to talk about whether or not diets like this are a good idea and why or why not? And if not, what's a reasonable alternative?…
New to MPF
Just got started yesterday and forgot to put my supper meal in. Not sure if I can go back in time on the app… I tried UnderArmor’s app last year and lost weight, but they sold it and I switched to another app. It wasn’t as easy and I gained my UA weight back. 😫

Change Diary layout?
Hello- Is there a way to change the diary layout? I’d like to see my water at the top, and would like to remove the Meal sections I’m not using. Thank you!
Premium version: ability to sort by macros when searching for foods
I have MFP Premium so I can use the Macros features. I need to consume a high amount of protein, and would love to be able to search by a specific macro. It would be helpful to be able to search my Recents and/or Diary because I’d be searching for foods I already have in my pantry and it would assist me in being able to…
Sort Food by macros (instead of A-Z)?
Hello- I am using My FitnessPal Premium, and love that I can specify macros I want to track. I’m having trouble hitting my protein goal. Is there a way to search foods based on macros (protein), instead of A-Z/Z-A and Date Added? If not, does MFP have a place to submit suggestions for future versions?
Calorie Average
Hi! Hope you can add a calorie average in a given dates or a weekly average.
Support needed. Sharing meals
Hi there, I have noticed that when sharing meals it shows up as not able to load photo. Has this feature been removed from MYFP? Also if i use premium will it help me use it. I have over a 100 meals on there and it took me so much time to build it. Thanks.

Database units of measure
How do I change a unit of measure for a given database entry? Example: how do I choose how many red seedless grapes? Or 6 ozs of fish or lean sirloin? I’m not finding the flexibility of choosing a generic entry, and entering my own quantity.
Learning A New Me
I am trying to learn a new me or a new way of thinking so that I can get healthy and stay healthy. I am newer to this plan of mine so all the prayers are appreciated.
Calorie Intake
I have always been a firm believer you are what you eat… what you put in your body, shows it out… meaning eat healthy life style it shows… bare minimum going in and you won’t be so big… However so I am stagnant for months on my weight… I have lost over 120 pounds, I am active working out 5 days a week 2 hours in the gym……
IPhone Widget
I would love to have a widget that combines both Calories and Protein intake in one Widget. So it would be great if we can customize the widget to our own needs
Total Added Sugar for the Day
It would be awesome to have a break down of sugars or at least total added sugar under day view in the nutrients tab. I see where the individual foods will have added sugar content, but when you look at nutrients for the day it only shows overall sugar and not added sugars.

Low Sodium
I have just started my journey to watching my sodium. Holy Cow! I thought a salad from chickfila would be ok. The sodium in it is 2200 without any dressing. Anyone else trying to fight the sodium consumption and how are you doing it? I work 2 jobs and finding the time to consistently meal prep is a challenge and then when…
How to post a Status update to your MyFitnessPal newsfeed.
FYI: to post status messages on the new MyFitnessPal app, post your profile icon in the upper left corner of the entry page, and that’s where you post your status update, which end up showing up on the Newsfeed tab. Yes, I know, it’s annoying. They need to fix their app design. We need to make a way to post a status…
Excited to Take Better Self-Care
Hello! I’m just starting my fitness journey of just wanting to eat better and take control of my diet in a way that I can achieve real results. I want to gain muscle but I also want to get rid of any excess body fat, and tracking macros is the best (and only) way to do that, so this app is perfect. And I know being more…
When Correcting Nutritional Values in a food item
After Correcting Nutritional Values in a food item and saving it, why doesn't the program allow you to save the food item to your food diary? Instead, it leaves you with a blank food page to make a new food item?..you have to start all over again, type in the same search, find the same food you just corrected and the check…

Manual macro entries.
I've been using mfp for a while, but had to stop using it because of how it currently tracks sugar alcohols like erythetol, Monk fruit, and steevia, which are processed very differently in the body. If you have a low carb mode specifically pointing out net carbs, it should track accurately, or allow us to enter in specific…
Searching my existing food list
It would be great to be able to search my food list. I have many pages of items, most of which I use fairly regularly, and scrolling through the pages to find what I'm looking for is very time consuming. Plus items can be under different names eg. brand / shop name, making it harder to know where to find it. Thanks
