Very happy to be changing my diet and lifestyle.
Hi I’m 63 female and currently have no serious physical conditions apart from being about 4 stones overweight. I’m hoping to prevent serious illness like diabetes and heart disease by getting fit now. I’m taking mounjaro( Zepbound) and have done my research. I’m finding it very, very helpful. I’m very happy 💃💃 Of course…

Gut health plan vs my food log
I’m confused. I started the gut health series which says 25 grams of fiber is a goal for women. Yesterday I ate 24.9g of fiber and my log indicate I was over my recommended 21g. Also I was way over on carbs. I eat Bobs red mill oatmeal for breakfast which logs as 33 carbs and an apple which logs as 19 carbs. Just that meal…

Starting back up AGAIN 😳
Hey there! I’m just restarting my weight loss journey AGAIN! I’m a 45 year old married mom of 2 living in Texas. I have gained and lost the same 50 lbs multiple times in the past 15 years, often using MFP. Last year, I let the stress of life get me off track again, and I put on 50 lbs. I’m also finding the weight is harder…

Protein goals
I just started using MFP after several years away. Wow! Things have really changed. I am using the free version. After I started tracking I noticed that my goal for protein is set to over 100g per day. The recommended amount for women is 46 g/day and men 56 g/day. Why is this goal so out of whack? Please advise.

Scared but hopeful
Hi everyone! I'm new to the community and generally new to all things health. I really need to lose weight for health purposes (and boy would I eventually love a flatter belly) but I'm scared of becoming obsessed with calorie counting and developing an eating disorder. I'm a very anxious person and I know I'm prone to…

How do I clear my app history?
I have been a member for a few years and I am looking to start “completely fresh.” I want to delete my old food diary and etc. but keep my user name. How can I do that?

The Food Database Really Needs Curation and Editing
First off, although MFP is the best recipe builder and meal tracker I've found, it's woefully difficult to use, and also can't be exported?! Come on. Not even a CSV? Also, let's enjoy this glorious screenshot: Last time I check, mL wasn't a very logical or common measurement for a powder. Sure, it can be, I guess, but all…

What happens if you don't get 100g of protein a day?
Seems today was a bit more carb heavy, and adding a protein shake would put me over my calories by 100! I am going to be doing heavy exercise later so maybe it'll be okay. My question is this: What happens if you get like 60-80g of protein a day? Do your muscles atrophy?

Why am I unable to lose weight?
I weight 77-78kg and have been tracking calories and exercise for about a month. I work out regularly with walking,judo,swimming and others. I also eat pretty healthy. Every time I complete a diary it says in 5 weeks I should way 65-72kg with one instance being 58. Yet I'm always stuck on 77. My goal is around 68-72 and…

Weighing food to logg
Hi! Any suggestions of how to weigh or measure food the right way? For example lots of food that is stored in cans that contain water. I’m really afraid I’m measuring my food wrong. Some practical questions: 1. Weighting tuna (in brine), do u totally squeeze all the water before you weigh or do u leave some of the water?…

Saving food items, not meals or recipes
I’m a long time user who would love to streamline logging time. I pay close attention to nutrition (including vitamins) not just calories. Even if the item has a green check, I have to open ‘show more’ on multiple choices to find one that looks sensible. Kale with 0 vitamin A? Keep searching. I’d like to save the good…

Intense Plateau
Hello everyone. My name is Frey and over the past 8 years I've lost 135lbs, then gained 30lb back during covid that I haven't been able to loose. But it's been a year, and I'm literally the same weight. HELP. It's a long post, not sorry about it. Female- 6'1" - 200lbs - goal: 165lb A year ago, I decided to crack down on…

Logging Recipes
Is there no way to add a recipe by weight as opposed to set servings? Sometimes I'll just want to log 100g for example of whatever the food is (soup e.g.) and not necessarily a set serving size.

I wanna give up. I love eating, I don't like walking
Ugh, and the numbers game with my calories and macros is annoying. I'll admit in my previous routine sometimes I ate badly because I am a foodie. However in this new phase of losing weight (again) my eating is very healthy. I have minimal adjustments I have to make with regards to getting rid of unhealthy snacks or candy.…

Weight loss progress not updating?
So I’ve been on plan a week… in a healthy deficit all week and as a result I’ve lost 2kgs in my first week - you best believe I logged that drop so quick I almost tripped up running to the app. I added it feeling proud! When I nipped on later to log food I notice that my newsfeed updated the change for my friends to see…

Asking for help on how to lose weight the right way without using drugs
For the first time I am learning what it means to be okay with honesty and self-care. My entire life I've never given myself the gift of self-love. So I'm attempting to go outside my comfort zone and ask for help. This is very hard for me and I'm doing the one thing that I've never had the courage to ever do in my life. I…

Automatically Determine Meal to Log to Based Off Time of Day
I would love it if the app would automatically determine which meal to use based off the time of day. Maybe you could set the hours that pertain to a specified meal. For example, if I log something at 2pm, often the default meal is breakfast but I’m not logging to breakfast. I usually forget to change the meal (especially…

What happens when your macros aren't perfect?
I struggle with fat content. I can stick to the calories just fine but my fat content hovers between 30-40%. Today it's showing I'm over my fat by 7grams. I'm wondering if this side tracks all my tracking because the fat is too high?

Out of calories for the day and haven't had dinner. Any ideas?
Not sure how I miscalculated beyond having a large(ish?) Breakfast but I'm out of calories for the day with only 55 g of protein acquired. My total kcal for the day is showing 1550 and I try to stay at 1600. I want to increase my protein with a shake or maybe some meat. Not sure if I should just try to survive til the…
