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.

To help the moderators, you should click on espanol.on the drop-down menu for "view the message boards in".

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…

You are still bearing your body weight when you use crutches or a walker -- you're just bearing it on your arms/shoulders instead of your legs/hips.
-
It might help if you describe exactly what is happening. Can you see your recipe list and click to log, and nothing happens, or is not letting you see your recipe list at all? In any case, my first suggestions would be (1) to log out and log back in; (2) turn your phone or computer off and reboot; (3) try using a different…

I'm assuming "go out for what I should be eating" is a typo or autocorrect error for "go over what I should be eating." Just eating less than previous binge calories is no guarantee that you're in a deficit. You need to be under maintenance, and after 38 days (and not being of an age where you would have reproductive…

Foods should stay in your my food list until another user edits it (if you made it usable by other MFP users) or theoretically forever (if you did not make it usable by other MFP users). Foods should stay on your "recent" list until there are enough unique more recent foods in your diary to knock it off the list (which is…

These community discussions are part of the free version. In fact, there really isn't a free "version" and a paid "version," just paid features and perks that overlay the paid version, as I understand it. both "versions" use the same food database, the same community boards, etc. Could you be more specific about the issue…
-
No, I haven't found that.
-
The calorie calculator is to give you a number of calories to consume every day. You already have that number from your doctor and should not substitute a number from MFP's calculator. Just use the diary to be sure you're eating 3000 calories a day. Wishing you success!
-
A more personalized recommendation (rather than a broad recommendation for all women) by the National Academy of Sciences is to consume 14 g of fiber per 1000 kcal.
-
8 mg is the RDA for adult men and post-menopausal women (or women post 50 years, which I assume is meant as a default for post-menopausal women, possibly because the people making these recommendations think women are too stupid to know if they're post-menopausal but can figure out how old they are).

Best of luck on your fitness journey and retirement adventure.

Douse your veggies, proteins, and starches in olive oil? Butter and/or olive oil in your coffee?
-
B?

Have you only logged recipes so far? You will have to search the database to add foods. Click on "add food" in your diary, type the name of the food you want to log (with the brand name if what you ate was a packaged food) in the search field and click search.
-
No -- there are only four people eating. The number of eggs they are sharing is immaterial to the logging of the butter used to cook them. OP should log 0.25 tbsp of butter.
-
Realized I left out quite a few things I normally or frequently have on hand, like cheese (both for cooking, such as mozzarella and Parmesan, and for snacking -- a charcuterie plate, with cheese, any suitable meat I have on hand, fresh or dried fruit, nuts, picked veg or crudites, crackers/bread/rolls, mustard, jam or…
-
It's going to depend on what you like, what your goals are, how much time and effort you want to put into food prep, whether you are shopping preparing meals for other people and what their preferences are ... I'm generally shopping just for me and like to do a mix of scratch cooking and easy, low to no prep meals. I…

Just log your food in your diary under "today." If your diary says "yesterday," just click on the arrow to the right of the word "yesterday." There's also a calendar icon you can click on to select a specific date, instead of having to page through a day at a time.
