If the increase is a few hundred calories and your settings are still the same, it's probably a glitch. I've seen several posts about it and I'm having the same issue myself.

On the desktop version, at the bottom of the food diary, there's an option 'View full report (printable)'. So you could print out your diary on paper or a PDF version.
-
@paperpudding there is an ignore option when you go to someone's profile. I think I vaguely remember using it for one person who really got on my nerves a while ago.
-
They're testing a new beta feature and decided to do it in the spot the notes usually are. You can apparently still access the notes on the desktop version of MFP.

If you don't have premium, you don't even have the possibility to see net carbs. Why do you think not all of your carbs are being counted?
-
My regular brand of skyr has been discontinued and the best replacement I could find is 45 calories more for my regular portion. It really annoys me!
-
30% of your calories from fat is pretty much the standard split that MFP gives people, it isn't particularly high fat. Even at a higher percentage of fat, if you feel good eating that way (and if the fats are mostly from healthy sources) there is no issue.
-
Sure, I could. But we shouldn't have to manually alter our calorie goal to arrive at the deficit we want. I'm just thinking of all those people less informed who are blindly trusting the goal MFP gives them.
-
@Jean where is this article you mention? I can understand a change in multiplication factor for the different activity levels. But the math is not adding up - even with a different starting calorie goal, the calorie adjustment should still lead to the correct deficit. My (extrapolated) TDEE according to my tracker is 2099…

Just FYI: you mention a 30 day trial, but there is also a free version of Myfitnesspal - depending on your needs, the free version might suit you just fine too 🙂
-
FYI, I played around with my activity level settings out of curiosity, and now I have the exact same issue as the OP. My goal is now two hundred calories higher than yesterday with exactly the same settings. Sounds like a bug to me, especially since I've seen several posts about this the past few weeks. I'll be keeping an…

Hm, I don't think so, because it possibly varies depending on your BMR (I think it's a multiplication factor). But you can play around with it by changing your activity level setting to see the difference between each activity level. Even sedentary/ not very active will include a certain number of active calories. For me,…

From what I've read, decreasing carb intake could be beneficial for people with PCOS.
-
Your iPhone is showing you all the active calories you burned. MFP only shows you those active calories that exceed the activity level you chose on MFP.
-
I started out just counting calories to stay in a deficit, which worked well. More exercise/activity came gradually later on - always happy to find a justification for eating more :mrgreen: After a number of months I also started to pay more attention to my protein intake, to reduce muscle loss. I lost 75lbs - regained a…
-
The 1gr per 1lb thing is better when you use your goal weight, not your current weight. However, my favorite protein calculator is this one, because it takes different factors into account: https://examine.com/guides/protein-intake/#protein-intake-calculator

I wish I could poop out that much fat :mrgreen:
-
Has your doctor referred you to a dietitian? For healthy fats, the other options I see are vegetable oils (for example olive oil) and nuts and seeds. As for protein there are many options. If you're feeling lost, I really would go see a dietitian to find out what foods you like that are compatible with what your doctor…

You can choose your own meal categories if you like: up to 6 meals in a day, and you can rénale them whatever you like.

My NSV: getting back into a running groove - 15km last week and 5.5 km yesterday AND it actually felt good rather than a big effort. After being 'in a funk' for a few months now (first 3 weeks traveling with ALL the foods and zero running, then a period where my RHR, HRV and running performance were inexplicably bad,…
-
Well, I certainly don't envy your situation, I'm also a high carb kinda gal and just attempting it sounds like a miserable idea. But then again, being miserable from the pain is no fun either 😔 If I were you, I might try the elimination diet first to see if certain foods are triggers? And if that doesn't yield (enough)…
-
That's the correct calculation for your average TDEE over the past 111 days. But considering that a smaller body needs fewer calories I would do the same calculation for a shorter period of time, for example the past 30 days? At least if your current TDEE is what you're interested in 🙂
-
What do you mean by 'daily calorie burn': your total calories burned? That's not something that MFP will show you directly. It can show you your adjusted calorie goal/the number of calories your burned on top of the activity level you selected, in your diary. And if you don't mind a few extra clicks, you can see how many…
-
You can copy meals to another already, but it has to be the same meal and only to a 5 day period (the day before yesterday up to the day after tomorrow). Use the three dots next to a meal to see the copy option.
-
This hits home just a little bit. A month ago I had a stomach bug that knocked me for six. Couldn't keep anything down for a day, had discomfort for about a week. And then this week was miserable, nausea again but felt different - probably a starting stomach ulcer which meds should take care of. "BRAT stands for bananas,…

Gone since June. Supposedly not worth the effort of updating because it was rarely used, is what MFP claimed.
-
How much did the scale go up and what period are we talking about since you increased intake?
-
When I pour cereal and it's a gram or two over what I was aiming for and I grab some flakes from my bowl to put them back in the box. The scraps of paper (and notes in my phone) with series of numbers and ingredients, so I can log correctly on my phone at a more convenient time. How, after all this time of calorie…

It seems you don't need to worry too much about it: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/caffeinated-drinks/faq-20057965#:~:text=As%20a%20chemical%2C%20caffeine%20increases,of%20urine%20the%20body%20makes.

MFP shows you the subtypes of fat: mono and polyunsaturated, saturated and trans. I'm not going to get into the discussion of which toutes are good and bad, because it's nuanced. But a very broad generalisation (based on mainstream sources): trans is always bad, saturated fats OK in moderation and unsaturated generally…
