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

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…

"My Pantry" section for saved foods
I often find myself searching through much of my history just to find one item that I had several days or even weeks ago. I'm always worried that it will fall off of the "recent" list and then I'll have to do lots of searching to find it again. It can be difficult to find my regular known items -- the ones that I actually…

Volume Eaters Thread
I have recently come to the conclusion that volume eating is best suited for me. Eating mainly vegetarian means I can eat copious amounts of food and stay in my calorie goal. Are there others out there who do the same? Let's exchange ideas. Here is what I ate today: Breakfast, large shake with 2 cups spinach, almond milk,…

Voice logging
Something I’ve been noticing a lot in other apps is the ability to log food with your voice. I know we have a meal scanner and barcode scanner, but this feature would be so useful to have and make logging much quicker.

Optimize iPad version of the app
I’m thinking the Dashboard can be heavily optimized for the iPad since it looks like a blown-up version of the iPhone. Is there any plan to make the charts and graphs smaller/more visually appealing?

Beans and nuts. HELP!
So lately beans and nuts have been really messing up my calorie count. I'm cutting right now and have been eating at 1700/day for the past few weeks, but I need high protein to feel full and like eating at 100g protein a day. The problem is, a lot of my protein intake comes from beans and nuts, which are VERY high in…
