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!
Been using the MFP app a few weeks and boy is it helping me!

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…

In 5 weeks you'll lose 10lbs... why is it not working?
When someone signs up for MFP, they are gung ho about losing weight, and want to shed those pounds FAST! They look at the calculator, enter their stats, and are asked... What is your lifestyle like... Sedentary? Lightly active? This is such a subjective question! Some people are fooling themselves... and think they're very…

Macros and Counting
Hi! What is the best way to compute macro homemade meals? For example if I want to make something like salad dressing or coconut rice, but I don’t know the serving size(s), how do I do this? I want to be able to input all of my ingredients without knowing the serving size and then input the amount I take in MFP or some…

Add a Details Section to Recipes
For whatever reason there is a details section when I add new things to the meals section of the app, but not for the recipes section. This is very odd considering people are more likely to need to add notes to recipes they create more so than when grouping foods into a meal. Can a details section (just like what is…
