@lauren_989 can I skip weigh in this week? I was away for a course and didn't get to weigh until this morning and I am sooooooo bloated that it's completely skewed the scale. My fingers are like sausage links. November steps: 1 November – 17184 2 November – 11017 3 November – 19198 4 November – 17827 5 November – 23631 6…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48829551#Comment_48829551 Any chance of reducing spam flags needed from 5 to 3? 5 was fine when the forum used to have the traffic, but it really doesn't anymore. Surely 3 different people flagging as spam would be sufficient?

On this, I love to bake and create delicious desserts. I do not need or want to eat them. So I foist them off on my parents. Why? Because my mum doesn't eat enough, she has a chronic illness which can make eating painful and she is too light, and food doesn't interest her. But she has a huge sweet tooth, and if I drop…

PW: 87.8kg CW:86.4kg Going the right way, even if I'm not doing all the right things <3

Premium only, unless you are a legacy account in some countries. I'm in Australia, have never had Premium, and still have the barcode scanner, but this account's been active for 13 years.

Thank you everyone, at least it looks like she was honest with her insurer and has taken responsibility, they're going to let me know where to take my car to be assessed. Unfortunately for me, I've still let it derail me, too much wine, pizza again. I'm just a mess at the moment, the little hiccups throw me right off…

That's not an option.

Well, yesterday ended up being a write off in the end, pizza, wine and ice cream. I was doing all the right things, popped to the shop to get the missing ingredients for dinner and a lady ran a give way sign and crashed into me. She was apologetic and upset and I gave her a hug and we exchanged details, but it really…

The database is largely user added, and it looks like the entry you picked, someone didn't include the fiber. There's no point asking for change in here, this is just the community section for other users just like you, no one with the power to change it. You can report the food as wrong from the adding page.

@LisaMoxon155 thank you, it's been a really horrible time, and I honestly can't say whether or not I'm coming out of it any time soon, but I'm trying to be mindful and kind to myself. I am lucky that my family is generally lovely but they're just kind of useless haha. I've always been the family planner and organiser and…

Thanks @conleywoods - congrats on the win!! Enjoy the diet break :) Intro for me - I'm Al, I'm 46 and live in Australia. I lost around 92lbs/42kg between August 2024 and August 2025, and have since regained about 10lbs. I lost my husband in April this year, and have been struggling quite a bit finding my feet and my place…

@TheMrWobbly thank you for the reminder that my "ugh" is someone else's yay! It's a good thing to keep in mind :) I need to focus on the fact that I have lost a LOT and have regained a LITTLE and that I have the power to take control again and get back on track.

Thank you all for the welcomes back, I'm still trying to get back on track, but I'm committing to a November of wins. Whoops, almost types wines, and that's the opposite of the plan haha. @lauren_989 starting weight is - UGH - 87.8kg. So annoyed with myself.

Hi all, I'm slinking back in with my tail between my legs and asking to be put back in for November, because I am sorely in need of some encouragement and accountability. I never got back on track after my holiday, I'm depressed, binge eating, drinking too much, and all around pretty damn miserable. I need to draw a line…

Where would the information come from? It's not included on food labels. BTW - "we will pass it on to the internal team/consider it for future updates" is the standard answer to EVERY suggestion. People have been asking for a lot of things for a lot of years and getting the same answer.

It's not something the app offers, likely because it's not information labels contain, so there isn't really anywhere to source the base data from.

Yeah, those are definitely not right. Protein is 4 calories a gram before you even take oil into account at 9 calories a gram. Definitely a labelling error.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48792589#Comment_48792589 As Ann says, where is this information supposed to come from? Most items containing caffeine don't list how much they contain.

Honestly, pretty much every single friend request you will get on MFP, unless you have already been talking to them here on the community, is a scammer. The place is absolutely riddled with them.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48788037#Comment_48788037 Did they tell you this feature was available when you bought Premium? Because that's really the only way it is relevant, whether you have Premium or not doesn't matter unless they are saying it is a feature when it isn't.

I once accidentally logged 12x12oz Blue Moons instead of 12x1oz of Blue Moon and the app congratulated me on hitting my protein goal.

This ^^ Entries like "pasta bolognaise" are basically useless. For accuracy, you need to log the ingredients in the amounts that you consumed. There's a recipe builder for creating the bolognaise recipe, if that helps.

Ironically, the paid and the free food search are exactly the same. They've just broken it.

They actually had this exact feature for many, many years and got rid of it about 18 months ago.

Apparently for every gram of carbs you consume, you retain 4g of water to process it. So 300g carbs is 1.5kg on the scale until the water has done it's job and gets flushed.

I weight the final product and serve myself half. If logging it puts in the whole recipe, I log 0.5 of it.

Hello and welcome, no it doesn't. If you want to recalculate after weight loss, you need to go into the Goals section and re-do the quiz.

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48756732#Comment_48756732 These and "I need high protein recipes" or "I need low sugar recipes" - like, a little context, please? Coz "A steak and salad" fits both those things. I really do feel like Google and now AI has really created this mindset that someone can…

Hey Jan, you're not alone in wanting to cut down/quit the wine - there's actually a really active, supportive monthly group of people working on exactly that: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10945537/less-alcohol-september-2025-one-day-at-a-time There's a big list of handy information and resources on page…

It's a liability issue. The only thing you get for closing your diary is the 5 week projection. It's a gimmick anyway, but if they allowed it to calculate the projection based on very low calories, there's a very good chance that people who are deliberately eating at unhealthily low calories to see fast losses would be…
