  • Depends on what you're using. In the iOS app I believe you swipe right on the entry, on Android you long-press. It took me FOREVER to discover this.
  • On Android you long-press on a food to delete it. Why you have to do something so unintuitive, rather than swiping as you would in iOS or do to delete in other apps, is beyond me...
  • It's the same on Android, but that "View all" text is incredibly understated, and has no indication that it's a link - I wouldn't be at all surprised if a lot of people simply didn't notice that it existed. I didn't until someone in another thread pointed it out.

  • This isn't a debate; the new app UI is objectively bad 😁

  • On the Android app, you can delete individual items with a long-press (I discovered after half an hour of confusion and forum searches). There doesn't seem to be a way to delete multiple items at once though.
  • You definitely can't. Previously, you could see dinner on one page, and swipe left or right to immediately see dinner on the next or previous day. Now, if you go to the dinner page where you can actually see all your dinner entries, you then can't go forward or back. You have to return to the 'Today' page. To see dinner…
  • I would suggest you revert this UI change to the previous version in which you could just see that information immediately without needing any 'buttons'. Particularly as it's not actually a button, it's small text that is practically unnoticeable. This is not an obscure use case, it's core functionality.
  • …ah, I see, I have to go through to the meal and then long-press. Just FYI, it would literally never have occurred to me to do that, though I had tried frustratedly swiping. I only tried the long-press because someone mentioned it in a post in another thread. I really feel that requiring someone to guess the correct…
  • "The layout has shifted, so we get why it feels like things are missing at first glance." No, the reason it feels like things are missing is that things are missing. The old screen used to have all the food in each meal visible. Now it's just one item. The rest of the food is missing - I need to go to another screen to see…

  • Are those details actually available on the 'Nutrition information' of most foods? You can't record or track information that isn't there.
  • You can still do it (at least on my phone), but you have to use the three-dot menu at top right. * Tap on the three-dot menu and select 'Edit Diary' * Select the foods you want to copy * Tap on the three-dot menu again and select 'Copy to Date' I don't know whose idea it was to remove the Edit button from the top of the UI…
  • Half an hour of ankle, calf and hip physio, followed by half an hour of upper body and core work to balance things out. Then, at lunchtime, a 7km jog through my local woods that went repeatedly up and down the steepest slopes. My Samsung health app reckons I did over 1,000 ft of ascent, and while I think that’s an…
  • Today was one of my physio workout days. Between them, my hip problems and my ankle problems keep me busy… Knee to wall stretches 3*10 Single leg standing calf raises 3*10 Ankle inversion/eversion 3*10 Seated calf raises with 10kg weight, 3*6 (it ought to be 20kg, but I darn near killed myself carrying the 10kg dumbbell…
  • I have now reached out to the support team, as there seems to be a misunderstanding; my calories from exercise are definitely being double-counted. That is not in doubt. My question is why, and how to stop it; and the system does not appear to be behaving as you describe.
  • If my exercise is not being double counted, I am intrigued to know why I’m getting 1400 exercise calories rather than the 700-ish that I know from experience is correct. And if my calorie adjustment isn’t based on my step count, why today did it suddenly change from 300-odd (definitely wrong) to -77 (plausible) shortly…
  • I’ll probably continue needing the custom insoles due to my shorter leg; apparently that, combined with a couple of other things that they also address, is what was causing my forefoot pain. I confess I was dubious at first, especially as initially they mostly felt like torture devices for my feet, but now I’m a true…
  • When I was morbidly obese, every doctor I saw brought up my weight. Prior to my ankle surgery I had an anaesthesiologist give me what he clearly thought was ‘tough love’, but what was actually bullying that left me in tears in the appointment and unable to eat for days afterwards. None of them ever explored why I was so…
  • I start losing sensation in my fingers at temperatures below 19C (Raynaud’s). Yes, even when I’m wearing a jumper. I was brought up on the edge of the Scottish highlands in a house where the heating didn’t work properly, before moving south for university. Back when I was morbidly obese I used to keep my window open all…
  • I’ve taken up running. I’ve tried taking up running several times before, but every time I got injuries that stopped me in my tracks. Pulled a hamstring, pulled a ligament in my arthritic ankle, developed pain in my forefoot… Well, I decided to try again, but this time I went to a sports podiatrist first, told him…
  • Yeah, winter is hard. All my favourite places to walk and run are quagmires from months of rain, and each day I have to plan for the windows of time where it’s not raining, and it’s not dark, and I can get out. (Yes, I have all the appropriate gear to go out in the rain, but I still find it unpleasant for many reasons).…
  • I've been having this problem too (on Android) and it's even more annoying since the latest app update that's moved the search box, which is the only way I can get to the exercises I actually use. I'm also very unimpressed that this known issue is not listed as a Known Issue...
  • My tailbone hurts. Why are all the seats so hard?!
  • Cappuccino and a big mincemeat tart. I'm gonna be having a small lunch to make up for that, but I looove Christmas flavours!
  • Baked apples. A nice big cooking apple stuffed with oats, cinnamon, and a little mixed fruit and sugar, and then baked in the oven for an hour. Nom! ...and NO, cat, you are not having any...
  • Pears. Because I like pears A LOT. Also, they go really well with savoury things like blue cheese as well as with sweets. And you can have them raw, or stewed, or in crumble, or as chutney, or… …’scuse me, I’m just going to nip out and do some harvesting…
  • Where did you get that idea from? I do more than 2 hours of exercise almost every day. I regularly log six-hour hikes. I've occasionally logged longer. Pre-Covid I would occasionally do back-to-back high-energy gym classes. I got the full calorie 'credit' for all of them. In fact it would be highly unethical of MFP to lie…
  • You do know that scanning the barcode just searches the MFP database, right? The barcode doesn't contain any nutritional information.
  • Staying busy and engaged. I start to feel 'hungry', even 'starving', when I'm understimulated. ...do not ask how the Covid lockdowns and restrictions have gone for me...
  • How angry I would become about large portions of my past life. I grew up and lived most of my adult life in a world where everything was an immense effort; people were basically unfriendly and unhelpful, and getting decent healthcare required me to do a lot of research and advocacy. Now things just fall into my lap. People…
  • Thankyou! It's taken a lot of hard work and I'm still struggling with some eating disorder issues, but it's worth it. The first pic is of me on holiday in Iceland; that was the glacial outflow lake Jokulsarlon. I'd always wanted to swim in icy water. (Wouldn't do it now, mind; I miss that insulation!)
