Best macros for weight loss
I'm tired of fad diets that drastically reduce carbs, fat, sugar or whatever. They don't work for me ... I get really cranky and cheat. I find I am more satiated and less likely to cheat when I eat a balanced diet. I read online that the most effective approach for many people is eating a range of 5 to 15% carbs, 25 to 35%…

Body measurements
Hey all I’m still getting used to figuring out all that is included in this app. I’m not seeing anywhere that I can track body measurements like inches lost/gained.. is there a place to do that in MFP?

Using Semaglutides is cheating or not?
Since this is the debate page, I figured I'd ask the masses here how they feel about someone or themselves using Semaglutides for weight loss such as Wegovy, Ozempic or other Compound Semaglutide forms. I've found in my personal circle that there is a mixed feeling in this as some people consider it "cheating" and some say…
