Support added vs natural sugars
Nutrition facts these days separate natural sugar and added sugars. It is disappointing to see that this is missing from MFB, and it is a gap in modern nutrition tracking. Studies have repeatedly shown that how you consume your sugar matters a lot. Sugar consumed via whole fruits and vegetables is better for you than sugar…

Alternatives to Grilled Chicken
Hi! I just started trying to eat healthy again and am hoping for some ideas for alternatives to grilled chicken to change it up. Last time I lost a lot of weight I stuck to salads for every lunch and grilled chicken for dinner with various sides (rice, sweet potato, broccoli, etc). While effective, I got really sick of…

Food Search - brands
I noticed that food search results have changed. They do not show the brands anymore. Anyone know if there is a way to customize how the results look? I usually try and reference known brands or restaurants if I cannot find an exact match and need to estimate. I am on Android.

Is it the training or my eating?
Over the last year, I put on a good chunk of mass, reaching 185lbs at my heaviest; I went up 20 pounds between the start of 2020 and early 2021. I cut this summer, dropping down to the 175lbs range, however now that it's winter I was looking to go back up in weight. This last month, I switched trainers as my old one was…

Understanding the basics
Hey all, I have multiple questions which will essentially allow me to understand way better of what I’m exactly doing to lose weight. 1) why does the “Macro” and “nutrients” tabs have different intake values ? 2) why do my calories up (allow me to eat more) depending what protein/total fat intake I have? 3) I’ve seen a…

On track until I get home from work! Help!
I have been counting calories now for a few weeks but I struggle so bad when I get home from work. I do so well for breakfast and lunch and a few snacks, but when I get home, I want to just eat everything. Then I just spiral for the rest of the night because I “blew it”. Any tips or advice?

Im a carb-aholic ...when it comes to eating. Only when Im being moderate and healthy I cant hit my carbs.

Any pointers or guiders.

Inconsistent available calories between app and website!
This morning, the MFP website was down. I refreshed it after about an hours, and it was back up. I signed in, and the one food I logged was not yet syncrhonized. I refreshed a couple of times after opening the app, and it finally showed up, and funny enough it also showed up reflecting the exercise adjustment. My app,…

If you’re eating less than 1500 calories, you’re not healthy.
Unpopular opinion from a former ED patient, but an average teen/young adult needs at least 2300 calories. Once you become and adult, that number only gets a couple hundred calories lower. I get that people have different metabolisms, but if you’re intuitively eating (eating when you’re hungry, stopping when you’re full)…

Ignore my old post. Let’s talk (educatedly) about holiday food!
I see a lot of people on these forums say that they’re so nervous for the holidays, and they’re afraid they’ll gain weight from eating holiday meals. It reminds me of the old ED forums where the people would have full-on panic attacks about the holidays. It even reminds me of myself, terrified of being caught doing…
