I just enter my weight (no body fat etc.) so it looks a bit different. This is the list of entries, but there should be a graph as the main screen, no?

Browser based MFP: under Reports, there's a printable diary option - you could print to PDF. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/reports

As you can see in the screenshots, you earned extra calories from exercise on those days. This isn't a glitch, it's the way MFP is intended to work: - you choose an activity level (not including exercise) which determines your base calorie goal - you log exercise separately, for which you get extra calories (to maintain…

Since you ate doing daily weigh-ins (and sound a bit stressed when the scale goes up): if you aren't using one already, can I suggest using a weight trending app like Libra or Happyscale? It makes it easier to spot the weight trend beyond the daily fluctuations. Bodies are weird, there's not always a clear reason for…

I'm not sure I understand your question. You weigh your food, you look up the food in question in the food database (based on, for example, the nutritional label of the food, and then enter the appropriate amount into your diary: MFP then calculates the number of calories (and other info).

If I remember correctly, it requires adding MFP in Garmin Connect as well as adding Garmin Connect in MFP.

How long has this plateau lasted? How much weight have you lost so far, and over how much time? What are your stats (current and goal)? Without further info, all we can say is: - short term stalls (weeks) are normal, patience is required - long term stalls/plateaus (months): check the accuracy of your food logging and/or…

If you are truly maintaining at 1700 calories, then 1598 is not your true BMR. Those calculators just give you population averages and you could simply fall outside of the average. Calculators are just starting points, real personal data (your intake compared to your weight trend) is better than any calculator. I see two…

Not directly: you can sync certain apps/trackers that count your steps with MFP. There's a list of compatible apps: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps

First of all: are you trying to reach a very high number? I like this (evidence based) calculator to make sure your goal is reasonable: https://examine.com/protein-intake-calculator/ I'm also not sure why you're specifying low carb protein options, those are the most evident usually, unless you're vegetarian? There's a…

She'll need the money for skin cancer treatment! Facebook doesn’t seem to know what age I am, a bit early for this ad: The magic of walking - I wish it were that easy!

You should only log active calories: total calories includes your BMR (calories burned being alive), which is already included in MFP's calorie goal - you don't want to double count those.

You have mentioned many things, except: - how many calories are you actually consuming? And for how long? (Zero movement on the scale in that time?) - how accurate is your logging? Weighing everything? Checking that the food database entries you are using are correct? Using the recipe builder or meals functionality for…

It might depend where you are: in the US I think it's a paying option, outside the US it might still be free.

If you're trying to scan barcodes, it's a paying/ premium feature (in the US at least).

Is it food without a nutritional label? I always trust the food labels first, but in absence of those I use the USDA entries. For example: I would never use a generic 'chicken' database entry, since it doesn't even specify which part of the chicken. You can check out the USDA website (legacy entries): their entries always…

The basic app is for free, with a subscription you eliminate ads and get some extra features such as the barcode scanner, custom goal options etc.

That's less than 1 gram of cholesterol. 1 gram of fat is 9 calories. So no, it has nothing to do with that. Our bodyweight fluctuaties daily, it's perfectly normal and 100gr is a very small fluctuation too. Look at the long term trend of your weight (at least one month/menstrual cycle) to determine your true weight trend.

Cholesterol in your food isn't the culprit of high blood cholesterol. To lower blood cholesterol, these are some common recommendations: - increase exercise - lose weight, if overweight - decrease saturated fat intake - increase unsaturated fat intake (nuts and seeds, avocado's, fatty fish...) - increase (soluble) fiber…

Yes, it takes into account your personal stats and selected (non exercise) activity level to estimate your TDEE (without exercise) and then subtracts the appropriate number depending on the selected rate of loss.

And I am nowhere near keto or low carb, for anyone wondering 🙂 (between 210 and 270gr of carbs per day on average) But I probably have some good genetics helping me on top of exercise (new since 5 years) and eating a lot of vegetables (not new).

For me it was losing weight and/or exercising more (both happened at the same time) - I didn't change my diet in any significant way. To be fair: the difference wasn't very big: my values were already within normal range - from 72 to 54 mg/dL.

Protein and fiber aren't usually found together, except in beans and pulses. But this spreadsheet should help you for both high protein and high fiber foods: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10247171/carbs-and-fats-are-cheap-heres-a-guide-to-getting-your-proteins-worth-fiber-also/p1

MFP 'saved' me when other weight-loss attempts failed. From a BMI of 34 to 22, starting in 2019. It changed my life, honestly.

If the exercise is new, you're more than likely retaining water for muscle repair, which masks fat loss on the scale. Fluctuations and stalls are normal, you should look at the long-term trend of your weight - 1 to 2 menstrual cycles - to determine if you're making progress.

You can't be sure that all the numbers are salt instead of sodium, though? But if you don't have BP issues, I guess it doesn't really matter.

The only way to know is to check the food labels. Being from Europe myself (salt on food labels, not sodium) I've seen many, many food database entries where the salt content was entered in the sodium field by unsuspecting members, which is obviously wrong. (The food database is crowdsourced) I have a link to a salt-sodium…

Depends on your privacy settings I think: friends and potentially other people visiting your MFP profile page.
