Greetings fellow fitters -- I am back after a break. Soon to be 51, I worked MFP & Fitbit last year and dropped 25 lbs. I have a seasonal job that keeps me active so with 4-6000 cal burns a day and 8+ hours of intense physical work, I quit tracking my food -- I couldn't eat enough to keep up -- and my exercise.

Get the "Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" by Lyle MacWilliam. Excellent 3rd party independent information on 1500 products. Good health and "why" info too. My money goes to USANA for nutritionals. Excellent science and quality.
