Auto-convert between basic units
Often, when searching the food database, I find an item that matches what I need but does not support the units I'm familiar with (I may use grams, but the entry uses ounces, or fluid ounces instead of ml). Or it has the right unit, but only in a multiple (e.g. 100g but no 1g). Sometimes this goes as far as only having an…

Losing those last five pounds is just so hard
I am struggling to keep up my motivation to lose those last five pounds ( or 3 kilos in our part of the world). I log everything I eat and exercise regularly, every day. I weigh weekly but there is no or very little difference on the scale from week to week, which I find really demotivating. I am thinking of going to…

Hi there, all night shift / overnight shift /graveyard shift workers, from medical and transportation fields to retail to hotel workers and many more areas. Right now, MFP will only let us post our completed food and exercise diaries shortly after midnight -- when many of us are at work. In order to post to our newsfeeds,…

Option to "check" (✅) individual foods and whole meals after consuming them.
I always preplan what I will eat the day before. I love doing that, but it can be confusing at times to remember what I actually ate and didn't eat yet (especially after studying and such.. I'm very dizzy). I'd like an option to check/tick (✅) a logged food, to indicate that I actually ate it, and an option to check/tick…

Returning for hopefully the last time!
Hi all, my name is Linda, I'm 71 and sadly out of shape as well as overweight. I got back on the diet wagon in September 2020. In October 2020 I got Covid for my birthday. It took six months to feel human again. Started WW in August of 2021. Got a cancer diagnosis in October 2021 (all is well, cancer-free). Since the…

Keto or Low Carb go to snacks
Hey awesome people, I've been on and off Keto for years. Low carb sometimes can get repetitive. I was looking for ideas to help keep my net carb low. I use low carb 2g tortillas and low carb bread to help.

Verify "verified" entries
I had a little time on my hands this morning, so I checked macros within verified entries that I consume consistently. I was surprised at how common misinformation was going into some items. I found similar errors when entering a barcode as well. Check your entries and don't rely on "set it and forget it" logging.

I have lost a total of 27 lbs (not complaining) but now I am at a point where I am eating 1,560 calories per day AND working out 5 days week (3 days of resistance training 30 minutes) and 2 days of…

Accountability
Hi, I am 55years old living in Australia. I have tried many diets and health programs. I never post as I figure if no one knows that I am trying to lose weight and I fall of the wagon it wont matter. So this is putting myself out there. I weigh 95kgs (209lbs), love sugar, hate exercise as in walking etc. I do enjoy…

How do I stop myself from failing?
I gained weight during COVID lockdowns - about 15kg (35ish pounds) so I now weigh in at 70kg (155 pounds). When I was at my happiest weight-wise I was around 55kg (120 pounds) so would really like to get back to that. I'm only 158cm (5foot3ish) so the extra weight is quite obvious and its mainly in my arms and stomach.…

I actually don't mind artificial sweetener
I actually don't mind artificial sweetener. I like the 60 calories chobani all flavors. I love Coke zero and passion tea with splenda. I guess I would just like suggestions or new foods to try.

Struggle with Macros
I track both calories, and Macros (carb, protein, fats). However, try as I might, I cannot get a day of perfect match on all four! Does anyone else have the same problem, or better yet! Overcome the problem? I pre-plan three of my meals a week, and even on those days: no dice.

Moment of weakness
I have an issue with food addiction and binge eating. I have been doing well using CICO for over 120 days and have lost 49lbs. For Cinco de Mayo, we had tacos at work for lunch. I planned ahead with my calorie budget so I could partake. I had a good amount of tacos and was still good with my budget but wanted more after…

Hello from Seattle :D
I used MFP years back to lose weight and it absolutely worked! But then... life. It happens to the best of us. My weight has fluctuated since about 2015 and I'm ready to do some goal setting again. I've also been fairly recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia, so I'm doing a lot of anti-inflammatory cooking, so if any of you…

Add Recipes to Recipes
Greetings, I would like to have the option to add existing recipes to new recipes. For example, when we have homemade meatloaf, I use the leftover meatloaf in a sandwich later in the week; so I'd like to add a measured amount of the meatloaf recipe I already have as an ingredient in my meatloaf sandwich recipe. Cheers

Adjusting the macros on a food item
Can we adjust the individual macros on a food item without making a custom entry? For example, an English muffin contains 4gms of protein, 1 gram of fat, and 25gm of carbs. It really is not a source of protein so can I "erase" those 4gms so I know I still need to get those with healthier protein sources by the end of the…

Late 20s new mom
Let's start by saying I've been overweight practically my whole life. I had weight loss surgery in 2017, and after stating I'd never gain the weight back a million times, I gained about 70 lbs out of the 100lbs that I had lost, back. I became a mom in October of 2021. I need motivation and support to keep me going and hold…

Has anyone experienced a problem with food log data not syncing the same across devices?
I was getting ready to log my lunch information on my iPad this afternoon at 4:20 pm when I discovered that my breakfast data that I had entered using my iPad this morning at 8:00 am had mysteriously disappeared. I re-logged my breakfast info with a time of "8:00 am". I then decided to check the MFP app on my iPhone to…

Has anyone's food data disappeared and you had to re-enter it?
Using my iPad, I logged my breakfast food this morning. This afternoon when I went to add my lunch info, every one of my breakfast food entries had disappeared. If I hadn't written down my info this morning, it would have been difficult to remember portions of everything I ate, including condiments.

After years of trying everything to loose weight after having 2 kids, I finally gave MFP a try. For reference I’m 5’3” 52 and now weight 151.4. 10 pounds down yay! GW 120. When I was younger, I was always thin and had terrible eating habits which didn’t serve me well in adulthood. A few months ago, I started walking an hr…

Gaining weight and bulking
Hello, I have been using MFP for over a year and started my journey around COVID. I lost 15lbs at the time and was sitting around 136lbs. I’ve since got my weight back up to 147lbs. My goal is to get to 170lbs at a height of 5’11”. I go to the gym at least 5 times a week. I eat around 3000-4000 calories a day, but I’m…
