Starting Over
I'm trying to get in as good a shape as possible at 70! I'm hoping the app will help me in this goal. I'm curious about how many people have moved to premium, and if it helps even more with getting in shape. Thanks to all!

Add percentage of exercise calories to daily calories
The present version allows users to either add or not add calories burned during exercise to the daily allowance. It would be helpful to allow the option of adding just percentage of calories burned during exercise. So for example I could indicate I wanted 50% of calories I burned at the gym, added to my daily allowance…

Set macro goals per meal
I’ve love to be able to set macro goals per meal, I have a set amount of carbs for a pre workout snack/ amount of protein post workout and I have to keep checking back to my nutrition plan to make sure I’ve got the right number, I’d love to be able to set these up per meal so I know what my target is.

Decided to give posting a try - fell off but I’m back
Hi everyone, so I fell off for a while with tracking my calories and eating healthy and just staying focused and so I decided that maybe I should try posting for Accountability. In my defense, though I don’t need any, Christmas Thanksgiving, and then January, which is my three kids birthday month has been pretty difficult…

See ingredients of logged foods
Sometimes i want to log a whole meal, that people generally cook differently It eould be extremely practical if we can see the ingredients in the meals we log, and change them/change the ingredient quantities. That would be more precise.

Starting Over Again.
I've been on this site off and on for several years. However, recently I retired and have gained 25 lbs. I do have a Low Thyroid which does make it hard for me to lose weight, so I'm back to MFP to have some accountability and hopefully will lose those 25 lbs. Thanks for listening and I hope someone out there can help me.

Pasta- how much I should be eating
Hey guys. So I’m confused. I buy my pasta from Aldi- the spiral Remano and on the package it says per serving for uncooked it’s 100g and for cooked it’s like 240g. So if I were to weigh 100g of uncooked and I record that. When that cooked do I eat the whole thing or do I have to weigh out 100g of cooked? I’m really…

Time food is eaten on desktop app like the phone app
It would be great to be able to put the time each food was eaten on the desktop app like the phone app!! That would be very helpful. It is great to have it on the phone app but I also like to use the desktop for logging.

Tracking More Than 5 Nutrients
Everything I've seen says I can track more than 5 nutrients in MFP and, sure, I can see more than 5 when I click on Nutrients but, when I go to change which ones I'm tracking, I only see 5 drop down menus. Bottom line, is there a way to track more than that? Moreover, is there a way to add foods with more than that? The…

Calories off on recipies input?

I was adding a recipie i made (link below) https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/slow-cooker-black-bean-quinoa-sweet-potato-stew/ and when MFP grabbed the nutritional info, automatically it shows 554 calories per serving but when you look at the site at the bottom…

What do you enjoy the most about your weight loss and fitness journey? I'm back and grateful
Hi Everyone, I'm back after a long time away and I'm grateful. My fitness pal helps me being impeccably honest in tracking and it always works. My honesty starts to ebb and flow when I don't track. I can rationalize this treat won't matter, again and again. At 68, I'm being forced to be honest and move daily. Fortunately,…

Is there a food suggestion feature?
Hey! I am new to MyFitnessPal and love it so far! But I was wondering if there is a feature where foods are suggested to you? For example, today I have 331 calories remaining. I only have 2g fat left, but have 100g of carbs left. I'm also close to hitting my sugar/sodium limit for the day. So it would be helpful if there…

Time for a change
Hi everyone, I’m a new app member looking to loose weight and get fit. I’ve tried to loose weight previously and following a diet I managed it no problem, having had my 3rd child I’m finding it hard to do the diet/weight loss again. So here I am hoping this app will help and what makes it good for me is, I’m even more…

Why do over all macros show as more than what we’ve logged?
When I check my macros, it states I’ve had 16g of carbs. But when I’ve counted the carbs from the individual items manual logs, my carbs are less than 9g! So what is the 16g?!

I’m back!
Many years ago, this app really helped me find a sense of community that helped me reach a lot of goals. A lot has happened since then… escaped an abusive relationship, experienced many personal and family tragedies, and found myself turning to sugar and junk food for comfort. I gained over 100 lbs and ended up with…

Calorie deficit counter
Please this is very important I think for a lot of people. I do not want to see how many calories I still have to eat during the day, I just want to see simple and clear resting calories + active calories - calorie intake = calorie deficit. I counted it like this with my previous device and it worked perfectly, with you…

Lady Magenta *Update* I am no longer lonely here, now I feel I belong
I have lost 30 lbs in 75 days. The scale showed 318 lbs today in the morning. I started at 348 in September. :) I don't even know if weight loss is the most important achievement right now. So much has changed. It seems it finally 'clicked', and I am in command of the food I eat. Perhaps I finally understood that food is…
