This has been happening to me too. I have multi-add turned on and instead of clicking the food and hitting the check, I have to mark the food, by clicking the check next to it, then click the food to change the amount, then click the check at the top to add the food. It's an annoying added step and I don't know if it's…

I think what they meant was the difference in weighing raw and using a raw weight vs weighing cooked and using a cooked weight is negligible. OP, just make sure your weights correspond to your entry. raw wt = raw entry; cooked weight= cooked entry. Use packaging when you can as the user entered database may reflect…

Can't I just stand on my scale and spray it into my mouth? ;)

1) Height; 2) Weight; 3) Age; 4) Gender; 5) Body fat % (if you know it); 6) Length of time at maintenance; 7) Average calories consumed; 8) Average calories burned through purposeful exercise; 9) Types of exercise; 10) Average length of exercise 1. 5'3" 2. 125 lbs 3. 44 4. Female 5. 20% (based on comparison photos) 6. 5…

LOL, my husband is the same way. :)

If I eat before 11 a.m. I am hungry all day long regardless of what I eat or macro balance. So, I don't. No reason you have to eat in the morning. Also, it allows me to have two larger meals and a snack before bed; all of which I find much more satiating. It's really not uncommon at all. Playing with macros for the rest of…

If it's something like shrimp, you can thaw it and use a thawed entry. The USDA database has whole foods and you can use those numbers. https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list

If it's prepackaged then you use the frozen weight. You're only going to be able to be but so precise. If you thaw it first, then you're under-logging. Not a big issue with many vegetables, but for more caloric foods it will make a difference. Again, unless the bag specifies cook or as prepared.

The calories for frozen foods are usually for the frozen weight unless it says something like "as prepared".

Same for me. Using a weekly goal, I can find ways to fit in anything. Just not anything at any time.

You can do whatever you like. I love almond butter. I think opening your options up to more than just typical breakfast foods will be helpful.

That's an excellent method. We usually say it's getting late and suggest they start their car to warm it up.

Peanut butter to the rescue! BP and banana sandwich! Goes great with coffee. I agree with leftovers. I think they make great breakfasts.

If it's the occasional thing, then log it and move on. There are many of us that follow a weekly calorie goal, so I intentionally have higher and lower days. There needs to be balance though. Over-restricting can lead to binging, so it's good to not swing too low. I usually have days that are 200ish under and then some…

I am absolutely that way! I tried to make everything as flexible as possible. I like having different calories from day to day and follow a weekly calorie goal. It allows me to go over unexpectedly and still know I haven't ruined my progress.

It is interesting. Running completely suppresses my appetite.

I started with theirs and tweaked. I needed more calories than I was getting and realized that I find carbs and protein more filling, so I upped them and lowered fat some.

I eat the calories I earn from cardio on my lifting days. I also add in calories for lifting which come to about 150 per hour and right in line with the MFP database.

Most of the labels in the US have grams for liquids. I weigh them too. Quicker, cleaner.

Macro nutrients are the three primary nutrients the body uses in larger quantities: Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates Micro nutrients are those we use in smaller amounts: Potassium, sodium, iron, etc.

I usually have a peanut butter and banana sandwich for my first meal. I find them quick, filling, and they come in at just under 400 calories. I also use 40 calorie bread, so that helps a lot.

You can also click the box next to a meal and delete the whole thing at once. The app is just much better for logging, IMO. You can delete easier and the search function is way better.

I have had Major Depressive Disorder since I was a kid; 44 now. I now use a low dose of medication, and am fortunate to be one of those for whom exercise helps tremendously. I found a program that I enjoy (lifting) several years ago, and was able to decrease my dose of meds shortly after. Two additional things that do help…

No worries, you didn't start anything. Fortunately logging is by far the most frequent culprit in cases like this, and, by far, one of the easiest to fix. Let us know how you're coming along.

My advice would be to not make changes based on one week. There are going to be weeks where the scale doesn't go down and sometimes goes up. And all of what @middlehaitch said. You're already in deficit regardless of exercise calories. You're supposed to add them and eat them. As for personal experience, I ate all of my…

^ Those are so much fun.

My husband likes to scan stuff, while still double checking the entries, because his big fingers have a hard time typing on his phone.

Here we go (assuming this still working): https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/questions/16321504-adding-new-foods-and-barcode-scanner Scan the new barcode and there should be an option to add it to the database.
