  • The trouble with these breaches is that so many people have the same password (or a guessable variation) here, there and everywhere.
    in Mental health important....MFP had security breach, not reported Comment by jagillham July 2021
  • In that order? :smile: It could be worth tackling one at a time. Lifestyle changes are habitual, and it takes time to settle into new routines. I can imagine if one day you suddenly decided to focus on counting the calories, squeeze in some time for exercise, and not smoke it could be a challenge to keep that all up in the…

  • Simple maths and averages. Skipping a meal can’t make somebody skinny, and going all out at the buffet once won’t make somebody fat. :) So long as you are trending in the right direction, it will all be good. I’d not obsess on a per meal or even per day average, so long as you are winning on the weekly average.

  • Pleased to report the logging is a bit easier already now I've figured out I can update the bar code scanned information on the website. We don't really do a lot of recipe cooking, so being able to scan is super helpful. I like the meals idea, and am thinking I'll probably look to have a few set standard breakfast and…

  • Found what I was looking for once you click in :) Looks like I need to sort them saturated fats out!

  • Ah yes, that’s a start. Is that on the app only? :) Ideally a weeks worth broken down by day would be best as you could then more easily pick out days over/under on certain things.

  • Find something that you enjoy. :) I started running, and quite like to time out on my own. Great opportunity to listen to some music, pod casts or audio books - something I’d not do at home. Works well as when you start you’ll be smashing PB’s every week which is great for motivation. Even after just a few short runs most…

  • OK, so tried again - this time editing on the website from my laptop instead. It seems *fingers crossed* to have now updated the barcode entry based on the new (correct!) information when I then scanned again on my phone. I need to learn to let things go, these are some own brand bagels from a shop we never normally use.…

  • Seems like a fatal flaw in the system. The bar code feature is completely pointless if it links to the wrong thing, and gives me no confidence to scan anything. Even if MFP didn't want some randomer to change the values, I surely would not be hard to create a system where once X number of different users submit the same…

  • Sorry, a follow up question... can I also change the serving size of a bar code scanned item? My bagels on the barcode only give an option by 100g or 1g weight. I'm sure most people just have a whole one, so weighing it out seems a bit pointless.

  • When you 'fix' and entry, does it not stick? For example Scanned barcode on Philadelphia Lightest. 30g serving Energy: 26kcal (pot). 27 kcal (MFP) Fat: 0.8g (pot). 0.8g (MFP) Saturated: 0.5g (pot). 0.6g (MFP) Carbs: 1.5g (pot). 1.6g (MFP) Sugars: 1.5g (pot). 1.7g (MFP) Protein: 3.1g (pot). 3.2g (MFP) Salt: 0.26g (pot)....…
    in Can we please stop putting wrong nutritional info into MFP???? Comment by jagillham July 2021
  • Thanks for the help. Checked TDEE, and was almost exactly same as Garmin had. So long as I keep the watch switched on, that’ll seem to be ok. I’ll only be missing the odd walk and the football. What I’ll probably do for the moment though is wear the watch for a few weeks to let it all settle in. Thanks again

  • P.S - I think the no data days are when I’ve remembered to turn it off. Normally it sits in a drawer still on. Guess Garmin assumes if watch not on I’m in a some kind of frozen inactive state! :D
    in Setting Up MFP With Garmin Connect Comment by jagillham July 2021
  • Just to caveat, I only wear the Garmin for running. So any other walking / general living is not logged past Garmins estimate. I’m showing 11,691 for last week total, but no data for Sat / Sun. Week before I’m showing something for every day, but has a random really low resting day. I don’t really get that. On the days I…
    in Setting Up MFP With Garmin Connect Comment by jagillham July 2021
  • Thanks for the quick reply! Garmin Connect has me down for around 400-600 average daily. Which is normally a couple of 600 runs, and a long run at 1500+. On top of that I play indoor football once a week. I don’t wear the watch for that. I’d guess around 600 calories there. Currently also walking kids to school and back 3…
