Calories in egg whites - confused?
My egg whites say there is 45 calories in 1/3 of a cup (100g) but 1/3 of a cup is not close to 100g when weighed it's only about 70g. What should I track by to make sure I'm as accurate as possible by the 1/3 cup or by 100g? Or something else completely?

Hi all! Finally I got myself to seriously trying to lose some weight. I am 44 and my wedding ring would not go on and off anymore! Also would feel full every morning. After only one week of logging in calories and keeping to my goal, I feel better! Will keep going. Wishing you all good luck! 🍀🫶

Like in Excel when you freeze the top row, freeze the row that identifies macros
It’s annoying when scrolling in the food diary to not be able to see the column headers to know whether the number represents carbs/fats/protein.

How do you choose proper calories?
So I've noticed certain foods have different calorie counts quite often... what do you guys do? Choose the highest? Cut it halfway or choose the lowest??

Check off as you eat
I would love a way to add a checkmark next to items after I eat them. I plan my entire day the day before and eating snacks throughout the day, sometimes forget what I have eaten and what I have left. Would love to be able to place a checkmark next to what I’ve eaten.

Is the diet and exercise algorithm adjusted for age?

I walk 10 miles every day and do core and cardio daily. I try to keep my caloric intake between 800 - 1200 daily. The trouble is MyFitness Pro tells me everyday that I am eating…

Why are there two different prices for Premium? Why can't I pay the cheaper one?

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
