Thebest thing is to contact MFP directly through their support channel: https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us There is a button to create a ticket.

Or you can save the combination of ingredients as a Meal rather than in a recipe: I put the total weight of the dish in the name of the meal, to remember I log fractions of it according to the size of the portion I took. Sure, I need a calculator for that, so it's a bit more hassle, but... It's way easier to tweak a recipe…

I'm confused now 😄 because that's exactly how my BF interpreted bottom of the hour and according to the instructor, he actually meant half past - bottom being when the minute hand is at the bottom? I'm going to guess that this expression is going to fade into oblivion with analog clocks becoming rarer and rarer!

No, you can choose your weight loss rate with a free account too. And you can choose your macro settings with a free account too, but only in percentages (and 5% increments): settings macro goals in grams requires premium.

I've had the same message when I'm linking to the settings or other MFP pages when trying to help other members use MFP. Seems a bit silly to me too!

Sorry, but I have to debunk that. It's calories that matter for fat loss, not carbs. If you lower carbs, you're lowering your water weight, just manipulating the scale rather than working on fat loss. And you can't 'trade' fat for muscle. Even if you mean 'gain muscle at the same time as losing fat': muscle gain is a…

Since you posted the same message twice, I'm copy-pasting my answer too 😊 You mention joining a gym and exercising 5 days a week. That's a great way to increase your water weight (muscle repair). That isn't a problem to fix per se, it just means that you need to be more patient to see progress on the scale (in any case, a…

You mention joining a gym and exercising 5 days a week. That's a great way to increase your water weight (muscle repair). That isn't a problem to fix per se, it just means that you need to be more patient to see progress on the scale (in any case, a few weeks is too short to judge progress) and it's useful to use other…

Because that number includes all the calories you burn while being alive, not just active calories. For me, just being alive burns 1600 calories a day (5ft5, 145lbs).

Try putting it on some kitchen scales? 1.5 to 2lbs sounds incredibly heavy though, I'm getting a sore neck just thinking about that kind of weight hanging from my head 🙂 I once weighed myself with dry and then wet hair, it barely made a difference on the scale, surprisingly (I have long hair, but quite thin).

I occasionally get glitches where the sync doesn't work normally and it usually corrects itself within a day or a few days max. I'd suggest monitoring if the issue persists and if so, contact support.

Libra is for Android and Happyscale for iOS (and there are some other alternatives too, I believe, but I'm not familiar with them)
-
Are you using the android app? If so, it's already possible. Tap on the three dots at the top of the diary Select 'edit diary' Then 'Select all' (or select individual foods) And then 'copy to date'
-
Well, this is my perspective, already having lost significant weight before Ozempic: the drugs have potential unpleasant side effects and how they work, by slowing down the emptying of the stomach, amongst other things, is even less appealing to me now, already having enough digestive issues to start with…

+1 for patience, one week is nothing really.
-
And what poor input and misinformation are you referring to?
-
Patience is one of the most important elements for weight loss... Our weight fluctuates naturally and 2 weeks is too soon to make changes. Wait at least 4 weeks (or one menstrual cycle if applicable) to te determine if your calorie goal is appropriate. Are you using a weight trend app like Libra or Happyscale? Sometimes it…
-
You need to do the math yourself, subtracting the sugars from the fruit and veg 'meal' from the sugar total. That's why Durden suggested putting the fruit and veg in a separate meal category as a workaround, because it's easier when the fruit and veg are grouped together. PS: I would add that any unsweetened dairy also…
-
Patience, patience... 2 weeks is nowhere near a real plateau and way too soon to make changes. Wait at least 4 weeks (or one menstrual cycle if applicable) before making changes. Are you using a weight trend app like Libra or Happyscale? Sometimes it can help give some perspective beyond the individual daily fluctuations.
-
Yes, it's normal. It's very common for people to have fast losses at first and then a stall: the fast losses are partially water weight and then the body recalibrates is water weight level. Patience is very important, you need at least 4 weeks to evaluate if you're strategy is working. Also: if you're only weighing once a…

In my case it's not retiring jewelers, but shops going out of business and supposedly selling their remaining stock at a discount (jewelry, t-shirts,...). Nothing like fake time pressure and 'unbeatable prices' to drum up sales!
-
Well, it's not a bug or an issue, I'm pretty sure it's considered a 'feature' by MFP and intentionally done this way to force us to see/use the dashboard. So I'm not surprised nothing has changed.

Been 'in a funk' for a bit but getting some mojo back in July: July step month July weekend 10k July rundown July time to run Sleep savant Sleep streak Missed out on active July (only 18 activities).

Macros are secondary to calorie intake. Barring medical issues (for example diabetes) a general guideline: sufficient protein to protect against muscle loss sufficient fat for hormonal health (and for digestive transit) anything else is purely what your prefer/what satiates you/what gives you enough energy Some people find…
-
I'm not sure what I'm looking at in your screenshots and what your problem is. But based on experience with previous posters, perhaps this info will help you: MFP's macro percentages are based on % of calories. Because fat has more calories per gram (9kcal) than carbs and protein (4kcal), it won't be same as the…
-
@68myra you can use the 'quote' option underneath the message 🙂
-
So, this might not be the advice you're expecting, but... perhaps don't work out in the morning? And perhaps indulge? I say 'perhaps' because you don't give a lot of context. If the context is: I've been white-knuckling it since August to lose weight (or maintain the weight loss), forcing myself to work out in the morning…
-
Some important points first: fat intake does not make you fat. Bodyfat comes from calories and it is your calorie intake that will determine your weight. Bodyfat scales are notoriously unreliable. If you look more lean and are losing inches, your scale is simply wrong. Now, regarding your fat intake: having a higher intake…
