Fasting Fast
Hi, I usually have issues fasting and withholding from food but I tried it yesterday and it mostly worked. Only cheated when I was studying deeply for an exam and needed a rewarding small piece of cake. Today, not fasting so much but limiting to just a salad with no oil or dressings. Probably gonna come home late and grab…

Fiber intake added to total carbs
Hi! I’ve recently noticed that fiber intake is added to the carb total: example -> for breakfast the total of carbs was 54 but the app added 7g of fiber (even if it’s already counted in the total carbs of the single food) to the total so the meal ended up being 61g of carbs. Is it a bug? Can someone explain me why? Because…

That Moment of Possibility
70+ years old, I'd given up on dropping pounds to get healthier. Oh, don't get me wrong, I walk and work out with a trainer, but around the concept of weight loss, I'd erected a 20' wall. Naturally, with age, various little aches, pains, and limitations, began to inhibit mobility and ease. A period of trauma exacerbated…

How hard is it to eat well when eating out???!!!
I met up with my friend today for lunch, the options are so crappie. Everything is full of sauce, comes with a side of chips/frys. Even the crappy side salad was just covered in sauce. I think it's my biggest weight loss challenge.

"food logged" message
I log my food on my iPhone and often tap the plus sign next to a few of the items on my recent list. I like this except when I go to hit successive items, I often find the "food logged" message has popped up on top of item I want to add, so I have to stop and wait for the message to go away. My request: Sometimes, the…

Weighing food
I am having a hard time understanding about weighing my food and how much I am I taking. When it says 1oz or 1g of fruit and when I measure it it doesn’t even say that it will say 20 on my scale and under 4oz on my measuring cup

Hi from New England!
Nice to be here! AGAIN lol! Here's my short version: I've been on a rollercoaster of a journey the past nine years. I lost a parent, spiraled into depression, emotional binge eating, then Covid hit and worked from home...Not moving...I feel like I woke up after a bad dream in a body I didn't recognize. I ballooned from 185…

Does anyone know how to add a photo to a meal
Really would like to add a photo to a meal especially if I need to just do a quick add. It would really help when looking back. I know you can if creating a meal but that’s not helpful as defeats the purpose

Hi Friends! Help!!
Hello lovely people! I started Burn Boot Camp in Georgia and they suggested using MFP to help make changes. The only thing is…I’m absolutely horrible at tracking anything. I’m mindful of what I eat, but when I had a dietician (thank you BCBS for deciding not to cover it anymore) it was easiest to maintain my eating goals…

Weight-loss for beginners
Are you trying to lose weight but nothing works?! Do you know how many calories you eat a day? Not how many you are “suppose to eat “ , How many do you CURRENTLY eat daily? Most of us don’t. That is why when we try to cut out calories to only 1200 a day we fail dramatically because we’re yea to eating 2000+ and such a…

AutoConvert food Qty with all units
One of the most frustrating things for me when trying to food track is the scanning number of servings features. For example, if I scan some cheese which on the label is portioned in grams I do not have the option to choose I used 1/4 cup. I have to weigh or convert. I wish you had the option to choose any unit of…

How do you log your meals when you’re a no recipe kinda mom?
Hi folks, I’m new sort of to this app and I find tracking my meals I’ve cooked on a whim, really hard to log. Do you log each ingredient in the dish as a whole or do you log just what’s in your plate? For example- I made salmon filets with basmati rice and steamed veggies. I made a soya sauce based sauce with home made…
