  • Since you already have a Premium account, you can set different goals by day of the week. If they change each week, you will have to update them each week as they change though. ​​​​​​Please see this article, and search for answers to Frequently Asked Questions and other helpful articles, on the MFP Help/FAQ pages...…
    in Different Macro's and calories depending on training days - How do I set them up in MFP Comment by CyberTone April 2018
  • Let's say you weigh out 57g dry pasta, which has about 211 Calories. You cook that pasta in water, which adds zero Calories. The cooked pasta now weighs about 134g. It still has 211 Calories. The only time I log cooked pasta weight is when I can not weigh it dry before it is cooked. In that case, I weigh my portion of…

  • I lost 100 pounds by mostly walking and very occasional running. However, I credit my success much more from staying in a Calorie deficit by using measuring cups and measuring spoons for logging all food/drink, and verifying all MFP food items using nutrition facts labels or online sources. I ate back 75 to 90% of my…
    in Has anyone actually lost weight from walking/running?? Comment by CyberTone April 2018
  • When the Recipe function on the web version is working properly, you can edit the ingredients, the name, and the number of servings. MFP has had an issue with the Recipe Tool on the web version since last Saturday. Once it is fixed, you should be able to edit again.…

  • There is currently a trifecta of semi-related issues affecting the Food Diary, Recipes, and syncing. I doubt the proximate cause was the actual data breach, but more likely MFP's attempt to make some changes to strengthen the security of the site that has messed up their software coding. There is a workaround for creating…

  • Other users who reported doing this indicated that it works once, but then they have to do it again and again, which only causes stress on the servers and slows down the potential resolution for everyone.

  • In the interim, you can calculate and log the number yourself. 1. Determine F = "Fitbit Calories Burned Full Day Projection" by going to Fitbit app or website for each day at the end of the day. 2. Determine M = "MyFitnessPal Calories Burned" by going to the MFP Exercise Diary for the last day it synced. Click the “i” next…

    in Basic measuring in 100g Comment by CyberTone April 2018
  • Are you currently at 1500? The lowest goal MFP will provide is 1500 for men and 1200 for women. MFP seems to set goals in increments of 10 Calories. If your recalculated goal has not been reduced by 10 Calories, then an adjustment might not be shown yet. Also, if you re-run your goals before you have lost 10 pounds, the…

    in Cannot get food from database into food diary Comment by CyberTone April 2018
  • Although your issue may not be with Fitbit, it may be impacted by the recent Fitbit syncing issues. I would guess that MFP's syncing servers/routers are on overload right now trying to clear the backlog of Fitbit syncs. If your issue does not clear up soon, I would recommend opening a Case with Customer Support on the MFP…
    in Syncing data from watch since last app upgrade Comment by CyberTone April 2018
  • MFP started maintenance on Friday with Fitbit, had issues, and apparently messed up the syncing. MFP reported at 7:55 PDT that they restarted the sync process. The sync queue will take a while to clear. Don't unlink/relink, it may slow down the sync process for your account. ​​​​​​Please see this article, and search for…
    in Steps exercise disappeared Comment by CyberTone March 2018
  • I am having the same issue today. The last successful sync was 11:59pm EDT on Friday 30 March. Usually when there is a site-wide syncing issue, it is best to let MFP and Fitbit resolve it and try not to unlink/relink them. Doing that just puts your account at the back of the syncing queue when they finally resolve the…
    in Synching with FitBit Comment by CyberTone March 2018
  • One can never accurately measure their BMR. One can only estimate it. The cheapest and easiest way is to use the online calculators that use equations derived from research on a population sample, which is then used to provide an estimate based on population averages. One can get a more refined estimate (but not accurate)…
