I didn't really understand this issue as a big thing, even though I often fall a bit short - until I noticed some of the big numbers. Being A under 5 ft and B old (74) I only have an allowance of 1200. Often if, I feel like it I'll have a drink, brandy or vodka. I feel a bit guilty I know it's not good for me, but I enjoy…

Perhaps I'm not reading this correctly buy I just looked up Salami and its 460 calories for a 4 oz pack. What is the 29 calories for.

I have just discovered overnight oats so when I remember, I have those, usually warm. Lots of recipes online. Otherwise it's a smoothie which contains the basic, milk, 1/2 frozen banana, greek yoghurt, 1 scoop protein powder plus an assortment of fresh or frozen fruit, whatever I fancy at the time. Sometimes a tsp of…

I just can't do lentils. They are very popular here, France, but just the look of them yuk. One of those thing I keep buying, because they are good for me then giving to the hens when they go out of date 😂

Old Post but really useful information. Thanks.

When I select complete diary at the end of the day instead of the 'if you continue lile this in 5 weeks you will weigh' info you will get a note saying you are likely not eating enough. I have an allowance of 1200, don't know if that's relevant.

I just found this, having asked the question in one of these forums, can't remember which. Purely by accident but not in the app, on my laptop. I've bookmarked it, very useful.

Thanks. I wondered how you did that.

Only discovered this thread today. Can't see the yellow star, so not sure if I will again. :s I've done MFP off and on for years but mainly for tracking, not really exploring Community. This looks like a good place to note daily goals, so I will give it a go. I live in rural France, from UK originally. I'll be 75 this year…

Good I'm glad to hear that. It would be great to have a one stop shop. Searching thru all the categories is a real pain.

Me too. Hadn't thought of searching MFP recipes specifically though.

I also think it would be good to be able to search the recipes. I want to try homemade granola but it's a nightmare trawling through categories. I'll resort, yet again, to the good old Internet.

This is amazing and I'd love to download so I can view it on my laptop but I've read all through but I can't see the file save as, just sheet 1 tab. Can anyone help me? I struggle reaching my protein goals.

Hi. I am 73 years old and live in deep rural France. I've been at this game all my adult life off and on. On 1st Jan I weighed in at just over 160. Today I'm at 158.4. One of my aims is to give up alcohol. My hubby has a tipple before dinner every evening and if I have one (normally leading to a 2nd) I find it just…

It's so good to know you are not the only "here I go again" person. Lost 30 then gained 10 in the last few months. I never did get down to my target, so here I go again. I've been a user of MFP for years but never really got into the Community side. I belong to the Facebook group, but it's very quiet. Hoping for some…

I'm VERY new to this app, but not being able to search the recipes by main ingredient (ie chicken) I find a real drawback. Mind you, I'm on my computer now, so maybe it's better than my phone.

Yesterday, I sorted through my underwear drawer as my knickers had started to creep down my bottom. Luckily I had got a new pack, as when I sorted I had to get rid of every pair bar two, as they were all miles too big. I had to order more, smaller ones, from Amazon. The drawer looks very empty but it makes me smile. Got…

Hi I'm new here. Would like to build some new habits but need to work out this whole system first.

I have just rejoined, used only for tracking last time, but I'm here to learn. Have been doing another app but read many good things in the group about logging on here, so I'll run the 2 for a few weeks before committing to premium.
