Very frustrating and annoying to have a forced full screen ad come up while your in the middle of tracking. Who on earth at MFP approved something like this. What a terrible idea. Are the numerous ads all over the app not enough? Seems so greedy to force a full screen ad that disrupts using the app.

The people that bought MFP are going to drive this app into the ground. First full page ads that in interrupt using the app and now removing the bar code scanner. What’s next the database can only be used by premium members. I know they need to make money but there are ads so it’s not a free app really, they use ads to…

Way too much in one workout. Your body needs adequate time to recover. My goal is to do sustainable workouts, as in what amount of exercise a day can I do and stick with it the rest of my life, for me it’s an hour to a hour 15 min a day 5-6 days a week. I would suggest looking at the Strong Lifts 5x5 routine or starting…

Dumbbells are a great investment and will last the rest of your life. Don’t feel guilty about that. Power90 and P90X are great videos that utilize bumbbells.

It’s a idiotic waste of time and business resources. The nutrition label is all anyone needs to know. I agree with the poster above that it creates a unhealthy image of food and exercise. One side of someone that is bulimic is too gorge on food and then exercise an inordinate amount to burn off the calories.

There is no way anyone can state an average that people need to consume with any accuracy. It all depends on your lean mass or how much lean mass you want. 50 gm a day is one meal for me, I try to get 165 gm a day and that is barely enough to support my goal lbm weight. You don’t just need protein to gain muscle, you need…

If you have a health issue I would check with the doc first. I would imagine that the carnivore diet is more likely to exclude foods that cause inflammation. Supposedly certain foods like processed and high sugar foods can cause inflammation as well as gluten. There are a lot of claims about food that don’t have scientific…

I have a hard time in the winter too. I think it is the cold and depressing weather. You have to just make a choice to go, don’t over think it. Just be determined to work out on x day for x time and then do it.

IMO. I am a male and I would not be ok with my wife befriending a guy at the gym and working out like you describe. As a guy, it is possible to have a female friend and not be sexual, but it can very easily lead to something like emotional or physical infidelity. Weather people want to admit it or not if two people that…

I would make sure to track and measure 100%, 6.66 tbsp of olive oil over a week is 800 calories, calorie dense foods can sneak up on you. You could try reducing your over all calories by 100-200 a day for the next few weeks and see how it affects weight loss. Take a little more off each week until you get what you are…

Don’t give up. Not to be cliche, but the only difference between winners and losers is winner get back up and keep going after getting knocked on their butt. Getting frustrated at not making progress is getting knocked on our butt. Keep accurate track of things, review the data and adjust as needed. I think the most likely…

Your protein goal should be based on your ideal lean, low body fat mass. Depending on how mich you need to lose that can make a huge difference if you are basing protein on a higher weight. After reading several studies on the subject I am comfortable with planning .83 grams of protein per pound of lean mass. In other…
