Thanks everybody for detailed answers! Your help is greatly appreciated. What a great community here.

Yes, I can't be sure but in the future I will pay attention to it. I just calculated that daily recommended intake of 2,300 mg of sodium is equivalent of 5,750 mg of salt. Then I checked it with your converter and it says the same.

Thanks for reply! I don't have any health condition. No high BP. I was just wondering if I figured out this salt vs. sodium thing correctly. Because it was confusing to me until I realized that salt and sodium are not the same. I guess it is too late to correct all these wrongly inserted salt numbers (instead of sodium). I…

Thanks for replies. Yes, I too am pretty much sure that it doesn't count the number of different foods we ate. Just a total number of entries. But it would be really interesting to know the number of different foods we consumed throughout some period (a month, or a year).

Ok. Many thanks for detailed reply. I had no clue that the world of nutrition is so tricky but in the same time it is satisfying to know what we consume on a daily basis, so we can make smarter decisions regarding our food intake.

Thanks all for insightful replies! Only calories remain the same or all of the nutrition facts remains the same? For this particular Fusilli Pasta from my question I looked at the nutrition facts on the package. I thought that is the most correct thing to do since it doesn't mention if those nutrition facts are meant for…

Aha. Ok. Then I will correct it. It's kinda confusing that they wrote that info below. Thank you again!

Yes, it says exactly 350 kcal. So, when entering the amount I ate in MFP I should enter 220 g instead of 100 g, right?

@frhaberl Thanks for tips. I didn't know that walking has such am impact on visceral fat. I don't walk 5 times a week but I do walk 1 or 2 times per week, each time for around 1h30m for a total of 8 km at 5.5 km/h, so I guess there is some benefit from those walks to reducing my belly fat. I will keep that in my mind.

@cmriverside: Thanks for valuable insights and your whole reply. I think it's cookies not heredity :) Ha~ I don't recall anyone in my family had problems with cholesterol, at least not big problems. But I will still listen to your advices and try to eliminate the unhealthy food. Wow, this whole MFP thing is actually eye…

Thanks a lot for being specific! I appreciate it very much.

@cmriverside Thanks a lot for reply. I have to study the protein source spreadsheet link you attached here. It looks like it will be of massive help to me to improve my nutrition. What a great community is here at MFP. Amazing!

Thanks all for answers. Yes, I am trying to lose my belly fat and build some muscles (nothing excessive, just to be a little visible). I am nowhere near overweight person, infact, my weight is very appropriate for my age and height, I believe, except the bellyfat which is the only part I would like to correct. I asked…
