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…

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!

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?"

How do I make the calories goal stop being adjusted?
I noticed with any physical activity I do that causes me to burn calories, my calorie goal always increases allowing me to eat more calories. How I do stop this from changing? For example I only want to eat 1,500 calories a day but when I burn calories my app jumps to a 1,700 calorie goal just because I have that extra…

For weight loss, do you eat back the calories you've burned?
I've heard mixed answers before and was wondering what the general consensus is.

Record for Signing In??????
Way back in December 2012, our youngest son had a major surgery at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. On the way home he commented that he would like to see both my wife and me live a lot longer by losing some weight and for my wife to quit smoking (She did a year ago in March). He gave me the link to myfitnesspal and suggested I try…

57 year old female, struggling here to regain pre menopause self.
Interesting how easily weight creeps up on you! I had made a decision to lose weight and now a week later I'm up 2kg. Clothes are getting tighter and motivation is waning. I am 57 years old and feel frail, stiff, sore all over and have achy joints. I don't wish to continue on like this. Today I will reset! 1. Track daily-…

Siri/Shortcuts Integration for Easy Food Entry in Myfitnesspal
I suggest adding Siri/shortcuts integration to the Myfitnesspal app. Voice-to-text functionality could be used to add general meal notes to the food log, allowing users to quickly capture basic details of their meals without immediate detailed entry. This would alleviate the challenge of remembering or recalling meals,…

I have spent so much money on different plans and subscriptions. I would like to simplify everything. I started yesterday and had two donuts after church. I logged them and then ate…

Delete Duplicate and Incorrect Foods
The number of duplicate and incorrect entries across all food types is staggering, and the problem continues to build, making it more and more difficult to log food accurately. It would be great if MFP would make moderating and/or cleaning up duplicate and incorrect food entries using an algorithm a priority.
