Food Logging

First time using My Fitness Pal
Hey everyone! I’m new to My fitness pal. I have been using the Lose it! app and been pretty successful in tracking my calories to lose weight. I dropped from 231lbs in August 2023 to 210lbs today. I want to try this app as well! So far I’m liking it! My goal weight is 180lbs. Only 30 more pounds to go! Nice to meet you all!
Looking for community
After finishing school and a lot of loss in my personal life last year, I realized this is the unhealthiest version of me. So I’m tracking my food and trying to be more mindful. And looking to incorporate joyful movement to help my body feel loved
Are the servers going bonkers? Diary errors:
Pretty much seems like diary is error'ing or timing out when trying to input items. Anyone else?

A new journey
Hi there, I'm (re)joining MFP after a life of struggling with food and weight. Since the new year, I've slowly started adding health conscious habits to my daily routine and now it's time to start taking a closer look at my food. I would love to add friends of all kinds for motivation, check-ins, tips, etc. It would be…
National Quitters Day
About five years ago, Strava did some research. I think it's OK to mention Strava here because there's a way to link data from Strava to our MFP exercise diary. They looked over all their user data and determined that the second Friday in January is when people start to give up on their New Year's resolutions - 80% of…
Available to share advice
Greetings! I'm using Myfitnesspal to track my meals and stick to the goal of 1500 cal/day that my doctor has recommended. I'm also taking 2mg of Mounjaro ever week.

I will accept all friends requests. I am very crushed at my night-binging and restrictive-binging behaviours. I decided to try to eat a maintain weight for my goal weight and will minus 300 kcal. With possibly days that zi eat a bit more. I might take 1-2 years to shed this, but I hope to get rid of them for good, and to…
Can you add Caloric Density as a category for tracking and categorizing foods in the diary?
This might be a shot in the dark... It's nice that we have so many options to categorize our food tracking (macros, straight calories, heart healthy, or low carb) but I'm wondering if there is anything in the works to add caloric density to that list. Although calorie density may be less well known than other weight…

Healthy and Slow and Rewarding!
Hi I’m 82 and it has taken me 140 days to lose 22 lbs, but I feel 22 years younger! Keep logging your meals even when you mess up and eat over your limit! It is important to be honest with yourself!
Unsure exactly how much to eat to meet goals
Hello, if I have the data currently set to about 2800 calories a day with a goal of losing 0.5 calories a week, am I supposed to eat exactly to 2800? Or go below? How much below? I'm just realizing now that losing weight probably means going under calorie figures and I need help knowing how to adjust.
I’m new here!

Copy a recipe instead of creating from scratch
I heavily use the create a recipe feature and have a ton of my recipes saved. I sometimes have a few different variations for my recipe - e.g., I’ll make the same chili recipe but decide to occasionally use turkey instead of beef. In these cases, I have to edit the recipe to fit my meal. With my chili recipe as an example,…
I don't know what I am doing wrong
I started my weight loss journey October 5. I am following what my dietician and weight loss doctor's "orders". I have dropped my calories down to 1200 and log everything. I exercise every day. At first, I was losing 1 or 2 pounds a week. I had actually dropped 20 pounds then about a week or week and a half ago I get on…
I'm back after a long absence / 60+ lbs to lose
I first joined this site way back in 2011. Back then, I lost over 40 lbs and was pretty happy with my weight, even though I still was technically overweight per BMI. I've been through some heavy duty life stuff. The weight went up and down over the last decade plus, but never in such a drastic way that it freaked me out.…
Is there a way to create reports tracking specific foods vs micro/macronutrients?
I'd like to set goals and track specific food like red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, veg, protein, fats, vegetables, & fruits. I haven't figured out if/how this can be done. I would appreciate any tip/info. Thanks
Can’t believe how low calorie this was! Set me off right
I tried a mix of the baked oatmeal fad and this girl’s trick for losing 60kg. Her “trick” is to sneak in veggies and certain fruits to meals because they have low calorie high density (and of course, high nutrition). I modified hers a bit (she used zucchini but I didn’t have that on hand), I threw shredded carrots and…
Can someone help me please?
I'm looking for a way to view all of my entries without having to go back and forth on the computer. I want to print my diary and be able to have it on actual paper to compare. Could someone kindly help me figure out how to print? I appreciate all of your help! Thank you!
Search no longer bringing up already used recent foods
I updated the app recently to the latest version and also had an OS update to Android 14 on my phone, now when I search for foods I've recently eaten they are not coming up? I'm in the UK, version of app is 23.20.5, android 14, pixel 6a phone. I'm going to log out, uninstall and reinstall the app but thought I better…

Night Shift
Hey guys! I need some advice as a night shift nurse. I know many of y’all work the graveyard shift and I work from 7pm-7am. And I get hungry at midnight and after usually. How can I keep the calories low so it doesn’t add up too much as I go home and have my regular 3 meals? Do they count for the previous day? Does anyone…
Accountability
Do you notice that when we keep each other accountable, it helps achieve goals? I read somewhere that people who hold each other accountable are 65% more successful in reaching their goals? Is anyone interested in starting a group in which we message each other daily or just post daily as to how we are doing and make sure…
A guide to get you started on your path to Sexypants.
I generally think that people put emphasis on things that either don't matter at all or only matter a small amount while ignoring the things that matter a great deal. Overview of what I think is important: * Eat the appropriate caloric (and macronutrient) intake for your goals and track intake accurately. I think eating…
