CONSISTENCY MATTERS
Hi I'm Rebekah and I am a food addict. I decided to use this app because I saw someone on FB mention its ease of input of food and I was like that is what I need. I have been faithful in logging my meals for 12 days. This is big for me because I struggle with being consistent. I need to have a surgery and did not want to…

Accountability is the key for me. Hoping to hit my goal (another 15 lbs gone) by Spring!

Bring back the old ways of entering food amounts in App
So, I've been using MFP for years and just now I went to log my food the way I always do and absolutely everything was listed in grams instead of units. I log a lot of food based on things like, 1 cheese stringer or whatever, and I don't necessarily memorise or wanna do math every time I log food! The website still has the…

Advanced meal planning
I am on a diet that requires a set amount of macros and total calories. Hitting the goals have been a hit and miss, for various reasons: forgetting to buy some foods, eating or not eating a certain food for a meal, missing an ingredient in a dish etc. Finally, I realized that it's possible to log foods for future dates.…

Drastic Calorie Deficit
Hey everyone I’m pretty new to weight management but I recently snapped and started eating a lot less. I used to eat very large amounts of food, I could easily eat 7 regular sized meals a day. I am 6’2 and an 18 year old male at 270. For the last 3-4 days I’ve been eating less than 1500 calories a day. I play football, and…

Truly Transforming with food

I need to lose 77 pound and eating the right foods will be my first step and working out my second step. I will post my progress and keep logging. Wish me luck and let's see how I can do this at the ripe ol' age of 55…

I had every excuse in the book...I'm in my 40's this is just how it is...I'm to busy taking care of my husband and kids....I don't have time for exercise with a full time job..etc etc...I…

Calorie Deficit - Not Eating Enough? - Advice - Help?
Hey all, I've been on MFP for a a few years now on and off. At my thinnest (years ago in high school) I was 150-ish. I got there by barely eating/fasting/starving - (not a healthy way to do it I know but I was 16 and hated myself so what's a teenager to do). I'm currently 25 years old, 6' 0" (female) and weigh in at 193…

Ask before enabling some nutrient goals
When I first started using the app, my goal was to reduce my calorie intake. I was hitting my goal but the app was doing its best to put me down with "too much sugar", "too much fat", "too much sodium". I never signed up to these goals! They weren't *my* goals! These days I do also make sure that I get enough protein, the…

How many times have I restarted now?!
Oh my gosh! My eating has gotten out of control! And, I don't know how to stop overeating. My realization of this was last night - no judgement please - when I had healthy filling for tacos and then I had not one portion of potato salad (I'm trying to clean out the fridge, which makes for odd meals) but ended up eating…

Logging exercise
Hi there, My Fitbit is linked to myfitnesspal. I’ve noticed that when I exercise and then check myfitnesspal there’s already a # of calories calculated. My Fitbit has a higher #. Should I still log the exercise with the calories burned from my Fitbit or just trust this app? Hope that makes sense

Cheaper alternatives to Nutrisystem?
Hello! I am looking into meal kits that can provide decent easy-to-make (read: microwaveable) meals that I can take to and from work and have a good amount of nutrition in them. One of my family members is a member of Jenny Craig, but they got in when they had a one time-payment for a lifetime membership, so he lucks out…

New here!
"The man who moved the mountain began by carrying away small stones." Started working out with my wife and it only makes sense to track my diet and optimize my macros. Anybody else in the same boat?

Is it alright to go over the macro goal for fat?
Hi all! First of all, please do forgive me if this is a very silly question - I've only been tracking for about a week. I've been paying the most attention to my 'bottom line' of total calories rather than the macros particularly as I get used to the mechanism and the habit of tracking everything I eat. But looking back…

Any way to search the diary for when I ate a specific food?
I'm a type 2 diabetic and tracking my blood sugar with a CGM. I'd like to be able to correlate back to what I ate and be able to see how it affected me (e.g. what happened when I ate poutine last time) - so find the date/time in MFP and then flip over to see what it did to my blood sugar. Is there a way to do that?

Hey guys!
I joined a while back but I’m just now hoping to find other committed people to converse with! I wish you luck on your journeys!😊

Greetings!
My name is Alexis Pike! I joined last year when I decided to make a change in my health habits. My personal trainer suggested I use MFP, which I did, but I have never been successful using the program since I joined in Oct. 2020 (longest consistency was about a week). However, my physical and mental health have become of…

Hello, everyone!

32 / F / 108kg - need to lose min. 18kg to pursue fertility treatments

I have been a habitual yo-yo dieter since my teens and have fluctuated between 65kg and 115kg. Main motivations: - achieve pregnancy - learn better habits to pass on to future children - longer,…

Can I eat the calories I burn?
So my recommended amount is 1200 calories however today I burned 600 calories from ballet and walking I entered this and my calorie intake went up to 1800. Does this mean I should eat 1800? I asked my friend and she said I should still stick to 1200 and the calorie tracker is probably overestimating what I have burned

Back at it again... This time with a vengeance!
I've done this a few times before but I let myself fall off track because of mental health issues. I also kept struggling with finding a happy balance of being able to see friends and not obsess over caloric intake while being out and about. I KNOW I'm finally at a place where I can kick butt at this and reach my goals. I…
