Food Logging

Hello
Just joined today. I'm 55 and began this journey at the beginning of May. Currently, I have lost 10.8 pounds🙂. I have another 41lbs to lose to reach my goal. Looking forward to building new friendships here and discovering weight loss tips. For myself, lowering my Macros has been most helpful. Would love to have…
Why is MyFitnessPal saying I will gain weight when I am under calorie goal?
Hi there. I’m not sure if this is a silly question or if I’m misunderstanding the app’s calculations. I have been using the app to count calories for over two weeks now. For the past couple of days I have been 146 and 418 calories under my 1500 calorie daily goal respectively. Yet when I press “complete diary” at the end…
New to the App questions on goal setting (:
HI ALL! I’m so excited to have more control during my fitness journey with this app! Im a 28y/o female 150lbs who works out regularly (3x a week) but don’t seem to see any results. I don’t lose/gain weight. I eat fairly healthy my plates consist of 25% protein, 25% carbs (rice) 50% veggies (fresh produce). I typically…
How much should I be eating ? How do I know what should be my calorie intake ?
I am a 5 foot 7 inches male, 193 pounds, I want to achieve an aesthetic look, I workout a minimum of 3 days a week, and I also do boxing 2 days out the week. What should be my macros and calorie intake ?
Some thoughts on "Starting Over"
Starting Over Since starting to use MFP – I have noticed a steady stream of people writing “starting over” posts. They tell the age old story of “I tried and failed, now I'm trying again”. There is often an unhealthy dose of self-flagellation – as if beating up on yourself is actually going to help. There is often the plea…
HOW???
Please how can I be watching my calories and exercising daily and walking a ton of steps AND SOME HOW IVE GAINED WEIGHT??? I'm discouraged af. Please explain this to me??
Pregnant and tracking- for health reasons.
I’m pregnant but I’m 40 lbs overweight. I am so overweight I have been informed I should actually not gain weight, but at most 10 lbs. There is no medical need for me to gain weight. I am trying to at least maintain. I started at 187, and was 194 by 10 weeks. My Dr. was concerned. I have been tracking now (my Dr. is aware)…

What is the difference when logging a Food vs a Meal
When do I create a Food? When do I create a meal?
How do you count calories for takeout food? Specifically Indian
I ordered in today because I wasn't feeling well to cook. Specifically I got Chicken Makhani and Dal Makhani. I weighed everything on my scale - 3 oz of chicken, 50 ml of the sauce (Im assuming its made of heavy cream and butter, spices) and 50 ml of liquid dal, that had some oil on top. I had one half piece of a large…
Kitchen Scale
Is there a kitchen scale to track nutrients/macros that sync with Myfitness pal that anyone can recommend?
Today needs to be my day 1
I weighed myself this morning, I knew that I was gaining but my jaw dropped when I saw that number. I thought to myself it's no wonder why 4 year old asked me if I had a baby in my belly. I am carrying around my middle mostly, but I have extra inches all around, nothing fits like I want it to and I gaze at my closet in…
Coming back to weight loss, need friends for tough talk and support.
Hi I lost over 5 stone about 3 years ago using a rival food logging app (take a guess which one) but let myself slip massively and put back on 6.5 stone since then, i made an active decision to start losing weight and get fitter after being barely able to walk due to altitude and lack of fitness on a recent ski holiday, so…
Disappointed that the News Feed is being discontinued
Two years into my lifestyle change journey, I am so discouraged that MFP is shutting off the newsfeed feature. I have learned so much from my MFP friends and because this code is old and buggy, it's being removed. As a former IT manager, I know that there's always the calvary to the rescue! Come on, MFP! Please don't…
Not New… but returning ♥️
Well it’s been more than a hot minute since I tracked every morsel that went in to my mouth… and at my fittest and healthiest when I last embarked on a weight loss journey I was 5stone lighter than I am currently. Sadly life and the horrible events my partner and I have endured has caused my weight to spiral. Since I have…
Open to new, motivating friends on this journey
Hi everyone!! I’ve been using my fitness pal for many years but never stuck to it. This time, I’m more motivated than ever to reach my fitness & health goals and would love to connect over goals, advice, or motivation help
Scan nutrition labels
It would be nice if the app let you scan nutrition labels. Some foods, and pre-made meals do not have a barcode, but they all have nutrition labels. The app should be able to read those labels.
Hi everyone
Hi there I’m new to MFP and am trying to lose weight. I’ve just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and high cholesterol. I’ve been overweight for a good few years and have always wanted to lose weight but the more I wanted to lose it, the more I actually put on!!! It’s amazing how hearing that you’re Type 2 Diabetic from…
My basal metabolic rate is 1238. My workout burns approx 400 calories. Will I lose weight?
On a 1900 calorie diet? When I adjust my protein fat and carbs goal myfitnesspal tells me to eat 1900 calories. With my exercise burn it's gone up to about 2300 calories. Will I still lose weight with this deficit?
Should I worry about a plant fat heavy diet?
Fatty foods are the only foods that really satiate me. I used to eat a lot of garbage, but over the past year, I've switched to mostly plant-based, unsaturated fats (nuts, peanut butter, avocados, high-quality olive oil, etc.). I eat a moderate amount of cheese and eggs (maybe every other day?) and meat when I can afford…
AliQuinn2024 (add me) - 1 week streak
Hello everyone my name is Ali and I just started my new health journey a week ago. For this post I am looking for you all to add me @AliQuinn2024. It would be nice to have regular support, ideas, recipes, etc on my newsfeed on the actual app.
Trying again
Turning 50 this year and need to do something about all this extra weight. I have a hard time tracking consistently - I know all the things I should be doing but actually doing them consistently is hard. I hate when I go to doctor and it says "obese" on the form. I know I eat when stressed and eat when sad and eat when…
How many calories should I be eating
Hi, I’m 29 and weigh 211. I’m curious to get other opinions, MyFitnessPal app says I should be eating 1450 calories a day. Do you think that’s low or should I be eating a little bit more? I tried to Google more about calorie counting, it gets confusing
Once lost 15 kg, now I'm back for more
I lost 15 kg by counting calories but thyroidism had ruined everything before I realized! Now I want to lose 20 kg or so in a reasonable amount of time, say a year. Already lost 5 kg in 30 days on the app but looking for more until I hit my best weight!
Feed and friends!
Hi all - long time MFP user without anyone to cheer for and my newsfeed is pretty boring. 39/M trying to get rid of the dad bod once and for all, lifting weights, living my best life. I'd love to have my friends feed full and lively. Give me a friend request if interested!
Calorie/macro counting
Hiiii everyone!! This might be a useless question but while logging should I log ground chia and ground flax that I’m putting in my morning water? I have issues with regularity :/ (sorry too much info) hence using this now to see if will work! Point is lol should I log this I’m not taking the full amount of 2 tbps spoons…
Not able to loose weight ?
"Despite exercising daily for an hour, adopting intermittent fasting for the past three days, and maintaining a balanced diet with occasional homemade junk food, my weight remains unchanged at 69.70 kilograms. Any insights into why I'm not seeing any weight loss progress?"
