I remember you. Congrats on your progress! I love reading positive updates. Thanks for popping in to share.. and keep up the great work and consistency. It’s obviously paying off big time 👏👏👏

I use the app so not sure if it’s the same in the web version. Go to log food. Then calories remaining at the top. Then select nutrients from the options at the top near macros and then you can select protein and it will give you a pie chart to show the amount of protein in grams and percentages for each meal. Hope that…

When I go for Mexican food, I order fajitas or a fajita bowl and in lieu of tortillas I’ll enjoy some chips and salsa and I’ll get water with lemon or unsweetened iced tea, depending on if I need the caffeine or not. My orders of the past looked much different. I used to order a mini fried combo platter or a smothered…

I remember why I started this. Why I wanted to do this at all. I remember my WHY. It keeps me going. I don’t want to live the way I was living again. I much prefer this new lifestyle. So I keep going. Everyday. Everyday I make small goals that align with my long term goals. Everyday is a new day to practice living healthy…

You’re so right. The behaviors follow the trigger and the emotions. The emotional response to the trigger may not change just as the trigger will likely always be there but what does change is your reaction to the trigger and emotions. That behavioral change takes practice to achieve progress. For example. Stress triggered…

My wrestler son once told me that I run as fast as he walks so I take it I’m a slow runner. That being said I used to sprint back in school so I can run fast just in short bursts. I’m slowly getting back into running/jogging, not sure the difference between those two. I mostly just walk for now but I am able to walk/jog…

@t4nn1e, You click on the username and a window will pop open, select view profile and from there you can send friend request. Should be close to the top of the feed near messages and food diary. Hope that helps.

@mtaratoot, where did you find a dairy free cottage cheese?? Dairy free yogurt is findable, full of crap and sugars, but I’ve yet to see a dairy free cottage cheese. I’d love to try that…

@stegeem, I wouldn’t call it becoming obsessed, I just take into consideration what I’ll be doing for the rest of the day or the next day to know what exercises will fit my current weeks lifestyle. When I was doing a strength training regimen, I was very concerned about which days of the week should be my rest days and…

@hotrodmay85, You can create a recipe if your sauces are for multiple servings or you can create a meal. You add all the individual weighed ingredients and then tell it how many servings it is or how much you plan to eat and then you have your calories for the sauce you made. I much prefer the create a recipe feature but…

@Carma4321, I enjoy acai smoothie bowls and collagen peptides in my morning coffee and oatmeal is a good choice, I also put the collagen in the oatmeal as well as nuts and seeds to boost the protein.. just recently found a plant based cereal that’s gluten free and dairy free called Catalina Crunch. I’ll eat the cereal with…

I successfully did 1 pull-up. 1 complete, chin above the bar pull-up.💪 I didnt think I could do even 1 cause in the past I’d only been able to lift myself part way, but my hubby encouraged I try anyways, and I did it!!! 🙌

@BigD4678 Hello 👋, also from Az… I just use the free version, have for many years now, does the premium version have specific things your wanting to do? Like scan barcodes or ?? Whatever else the paid version provides. No ads, that might be nice but they don’t seem to bother me much.. so I guess it depends on how your…

So for me personally, I take water everywhere I go, except around the corner to check the mailbox.. I won’t leave to the supermarket or any chores with out my bottle of water, if I’m out and about with a bottle and run out I will immediately head home or go get more water. I’m a water hog. I even carry water in the house…

You’re not doing anything wrong. The food database is generated by users like you and me, keep looking through the database when searching for your food with the serving size options your seeking, or create your own food in the ‘add a food’ section with the correct information and serving sizes you need… good luck.

Spark people was similar to MFPal.. you could log food and exercise as well as join groups and communities with other spark people users.. you’ll find people transplant from other diet/lifestyle programs. I was a spark user many many yrs ago but forgot my user name to reconnect with the other sparklers here and I also did…

That would be a cool feature. Suggested foods to eat based on even calories left would be helpful, I know the discovery recipe section has stuff based on calories alone, this app isn’t macro focused, but with those stats for a snack I’d focus on protein, like a skyr yogurt, or a couple hard boiled eggs with a small fruit…

I track my supplements. I even named a meal group in my food diary “supplements”. A lot of them I find in the search database just fine.

Welcome! I too have Hashimotos.. there’s a thyroid group with lots of helpful information if your interested.. good luck on your journey..

New low size!! I just bought jeans in a size 12 and was so excited they fit when I tried them on in the dressing room. ☺️ get home! Take pics to send to my sisters to share in the excitement and they both said size down they are too big. I was like how could this be 🤔 I tried them on beforehand. So today, go back to try on…

I would start with one allergen at a time. Once that becomes natural and you’re used to “replacing” it then remove another allergen. Unless life threatening of course.. sometimes when your sensitive to a food like eggs or gluten it can cause an inflammatory reaction that shows sensitivity to other things as well, but that…

Only you can decide your personal risk tolerance. I didn't think I needed insurance when I was 24. Then I had to go to the emergency room. Just being in the room... not including any testing or treatment or anything else.... was $8000. Sadly, you don't know until you know.[/quote] So very true.. it’s not that we don’t…

We opt out of health insurance. We take what we can afford and put it into a separate savings account just for health care expenses. We then pay out of pocket for the care we need and what we don’t spend we save.. we see naturopathic doctors which health insurance doesn’t cover anyway. We spend thousands less a year and we…

I have found a free routine here and there but it appears most require premium. You can make your own routine without premium as well..

Wow! Great log in streak!! Well done!!!👏

What about avocado tomato and bacon on a toasted vegan bagel, or a smoothie bowl with protein powder stirred in, I also put protein powder in my oats. I like leftover dinner for breakfast too, who says breakfast has to be “breakfast” foods.. 😉

👋, another daily weigher here 😉… I like to collect the data. I also use a weight trending app to filter out the highs and lows. I used to be terrified of the scale. Exposure therapy has helped a lot over the years, I now see it as just another tool to measure progress towards my longterm goals. It no longer messes with my…

I lost a majority of my weight with diet changes alone. I just recently added in consistent regular exercise. I’m very close to goal weight and exercise will help me maintain. I will exercise for an energy boost or a mood boost. It’s good for longterm health 👍 I walk 30-45 minutes 4 days a week, I do 20-30 minutes of…

My cholesterol levels improved when I changed my diet, lost weight and my naturopath put me on red yeast rice. I’m all for natural alternative health, but I would still seek advice from a professional in the field, and that’s coming from a trained herbalist. Therapeutic doses should be sought from quality sources and…

I found a listing for sweet potato steamed 100g that lists 238% daily value vitamin A. Another listing says -. The food entries are user generated so search thru the listings to find a better match for your logging needs.
