You can enter the total weight of the finished recipe in grams as the number of servings. Then when you dish up your portion, enter the weight of your portion in grams as the number of servings you had. There may be a top limit on number of servings, so this may not work for a latge/heavy recipe. I prefer to set a number…

I sometimes mix milk with cocoa (that is, the dry powdered chocolate used in baking) and sugar, sometimes adding vanilla and/or almond extract and/or cayenne (powdered/dried ground red pepper). I'm not going to give specific amounts, and you can choose the type of milk (full-fat, reduced, low-fat, skim; dairy/nondairy)…

Food — and the weight of it — stays in your body for a lot more than two hours. If your experience differs from that, you might want to see a doctor.

OP, I just want to echo Ann's point that a 2 kg loss over seven weeks at a 300 calorie deficit is pretty darn close to what you should expect (actually, slightly more than you should expect). (For those not used to thinking in kgs, that's about 4.4 pounds lost in seven weeks, while a 300 calorie daily deficit for seven…

If you run away hurt anytime someone correctly (and gently) explains errors, implied or explicit, in your comments, I don't foresee a long residency on the Internet for you. You were trying to help, but if OP ran with your suggestion, they would not likely improve on their current situation, and might waste a lot of money…

Erasing the foods from your account won't change the fact that you ate them and whatever effect they had on your body. I think focusing your energy on making whatever changes you need to make in what, how, and how much you eat would be more useful than trying to find a way to delete your food records, which won't change…

Fair enough. 😊

The problem with a proven safe approach is that somebody would have to prove veggies, fruits, grains, dairy, eggs, meat, legumes, seafood, poultry, certain mushrooms, yeast, salt, honey, etc. are safe before they could be sold for human consumption. Right now, they're just generally assumed to be safe.

Are you vegetarian or lacto-vegetarian, or do you just really like scrambled eggs so you went for a tofu scramble because it's more like scrambled eggs than "scrambled chicken"? Just trying to figure out the totality of your food restrictions and whether you eat meat, poultry, seafood, or dairy. For dinner, pasta with…

I've been a member since 2013, always on the free plan. Several years back they warned people on the free plan they would lose older logging data (I think it was supposed to be anything older than a year or two, but you could export it if you wanted before it disappeared. I didn't bother, because the value of the old…

Keep it simple at first. Just focus on accurate, consistent logging and trying to stay within, or not much over, your calorie goal.

Could you clarify whether the problem is that you've simply eaten more than your goal amount or that you're experiencing logging issues?

My guess would be that MFP is making negative adjustments based on the Garmin data, because Garmin is saying that you calorie burn is less than what MFP assumes it will be based on your self-reported activity level.

Did you actually weigh the meat yourself, or did you accept as truth the raw weight on the label that your butcher put on the package? Perhaps the butcher made a mistake? Alternatively, maybe your scale needs new batteries or you made some kind of taring error when you weighed before and/or after cooking.

What are you eating for breakfast? Different people find protein, or fiber, of fat, or some combination of those most satiating.

You said just one comment up-thread — so well after tomcustombuilder left their comment — that you're recovering from an injury, so be sure to get some medical advice about when you can begin/resume lifting.

The bolded sentence is only true for someone who was eating at maintenance before they started. If they were eating in excess of maintenance, eating "a little less" might mean they continue gaining, just at a slower rate.

For logging? You'd still have to check it was using the right entries and kogging the right amounts. I suppose it could have a hands-free advantage, but I suspect I would get tired of fixing its mistakes very quickly.

This is just a guess, but maybe the things you're logging other than blueberries are the same entries you deleted from your recent and frequent lists, and the act of deleting them also created a permanent bar to putting them in those lists in the future?

Are you using the Android app, the iOS Apple app, or the website? In general, click the X next to entry on the web, press and hold for a delete pop-up on Android, and swipe on iOS.

If you're obese rather than just overweight and are starting afresh (rather than already having been losing, in which case you're less likely to get much of a water weight loss boost), you may be able to do this without risking negative health impacts.

Best of luck!

Beans/legumes/pulses offer a good balance of protein and fiber. More generally, whole plant foods are the place to get your fiber. It's a good idea to increase your fiber intake slowly.

Alternatively, in the Android app, when you find an error in an entry when searching, scroll to the bottom of the nutrition information and click on "Report Food" which will bring you to a page to correct the error and, if you choose, enter the corrected food in your diary.

I get more than a hundred entries when I search for "ground beef" (possibly multiple hundreds -- I just stopped counting at 100). Those are all in the common database everyone on MFP uses. Are you using the app? Are you limiting the search to "my foods" instead of "all"?

You can't choose where you will lose fat. All you can do is eat at an energy (calorie) deficit and hope your body eventually starts tapping belly fat to make up the energy deficit. MFP will recommend a calorie goal based on your height, weght, age, gender, activity level, and desired rate of loss. Then you just log what…

Well, if you are in a coma, BMR wouldn't be lower than TDEE. But the original "usually lower" statement raised my eyebrows as well. I feel confident that no one in a coma is active on MFP.

It's 1200 calories, not 12k calories. Could be perfectly reasonable, depending on what OP weighs.

I thought the implication of the comments above were more that the original post sounds like it were penned by a poorly trained bot, rather than that the OP is a "skeezy marketer." Which if the OP is human has a different unkindness issue, admittedly. It would be nice if everyone were universally kind in their comments and…
