  • You can do it yourself. You're the one who knows which entry you want fixed and how. You're just talking to other users here — we don't possess any magical updating powers that you don't have yourself.
  • In Android, they recently moved the progress link from the long "more" list to its own button on the bottom of the home page, just to the right of "diary".
  • But if I just stick a spoon in the honey jar and eat it plain, I'm not adding it to anything, so it's not an added sugar? Just another instance of nutrition advice making no sense.
  • Why should OP report back when a cording to you no one on MFP has ever used GLP? If OP comes back to talk about it, logic and your post would mean they must just be making things up. (No slight to you, OP, just commenting on the logical nonsense of this specific comment.) I do agree you would be better off relying on your…
  • If you're making one serving of something fresh each time you eat it, I would recommend using the "meal" feature rather than the "recipe" feature. You can adjust amounts and add or delete ingredients each time you log the meal. If you want those changes reflected the next you log the meal, you can save over it. Otherwise,…
  • My initial experience using MFP to track calories was a pretty steady 2 pounds a week loss for about three months before things started to bounce around a bit, with variations in water weight and food in the digestive track starting to progress less linear (less than 2 pounds for a week or two followed by more than 2…
  • Congratulations on quitting smoking! If you can do that, there's a good chance you can conquer weight control. First step is to figure out how much you you should be eating. MFP has a guided set-up for that, which I recommend because it will work with the way MFP is intended to work, which is not counting the effect of…
  • I've never had a subscription and I can see my macros. If you're using the app, you'll either have to turn your phone to view it in landscape or go into the nutrition feature.
  • Best of luck.
  • I never enjoyed sugar in my coffee -- it tasted nasty to me -- and I mostly put milk/cream in it to get it to drinking temperature immediately. Nowadays I'm just more patient about letting it cool a bit, but I still use milk/cream for bad coffee (too weak or "cooked" too long on a burner after brewing or old grounds). Milk…
  • How many cups of coffee are you having a day? There are calories in artificial sweeteners, but the amounts are so low that there's no point in tracking them unless you are consuming massive amounts.
  • Are you saying you're still at the weight you were at immediately before giving birth, or that you lost weight during labor and delivery, but nothing since? If, the latter, you could have put on water weight after the birth as your body tried to heal various injuries/traumas that can be part of the delivery process (torn…
  • Well, Laverne and Shirley were from Milwaukee, I believe, which is not the heart of Coca-Cola country. I'm from the Mid-Atlantic and never heard of it before the televisionHouse. I think it was more intended to be an idiosyncracy of Laverne's than a regional thing. It's essentially a cola-flavored egg cream, instead of a…
  • I don't believe that you can. You might be able to work around this by using the create a meal function instead. You can draw from previously logged foods for that. I find it more useful for foods that I make a single serving at a time and might want to adjust quantities and delete things I didn't use that time, such as…
  • Best of luck! If you have any questions about how to log, there are pinned threads under the getting started board, I think, that should help. Also, people on the board are usually very helpful.

  • If I bothered counting water, I would count any liquid other than alcohol.
  • You:re only talking to other users here, who have no ability to add features. If you want to make this suggestion to MFP, go to the link Ann posted above.
  • If you're using the free version, you could adjust your carb % goal to 0% or 5%, depending on your calories and how low you want your carbs. You have to pay for premium to set your carb goals directly in grams
  • What you weigh right now is the result of your body banking and withdrawing calories over a lifetime. Nothing magical about a day, or even a week, except how it lines up with your expectations and goals.
  • If you mean your own created and saved recipes, in the app just click on add food in your diary, click the recipes tab, and type a few letters of the recipe name. If you're using the website, the best you can do is click add food, select the recipes tab, and choose sort alphabetically. If you know the name of the recipe,…
  • 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…
