Some years back (best guess 5+ years) things I had logged frequently -- consistently in my top five most frequent -- disappeared from most frequent over night, and I had to page back through the recent list to log them (I was still using the web site almost exclusively in those days). It's always something with MFP.

I have been noticing this, but it's limited to the app (recently logged foods still show up in the web platorm) and it's very … specific. Most foods are still showing up even in the app, but every so often something that I Iogged for the first time recently won't show up in the app. I think that it's happening with foods…

Welcome to MFP! Best of luck!

I believe the reference is to what the Android app calls the dashboard. Towards the upper right there is an "Edit" button, and after you click on that, you can click on edit goals — instead of going to goals in the long list of "more" items.

I would think that if you eat a late breakfast that is more calories than usual, you wouldn't need to eat as much for lunch.

It's always helpful when you're asking how to do something to tell us what platform you're using (web? iOS app? Android app?). Maybe they've finally gotten rid of this useless function that seems to do nothing but confuse some people and make others needlessly anxious.

I think if you're responding to a lot of first-time posts, they're going to reflect the reality that the percentage of people who stick with an intention to pursue a particular approach to losing weight for more than a day or two is pretty small.

It's been about 12 years, so it's not easy to remember exactly. I do remember making a many-ingredient dish about five or six weeks in and feeling like the prepping and cooking were a bit of work, but the logging wasn't.

I feel pretty confident in betting on the apple pie, as it has a greater variety of nutrients.

If your choice is between walking and the gym because you're not in shape to jog or run instead of walk, you're probably not in shape to burn a lot more calories at the gym. Plus, you can start walking the minute you step out the door, whereas there's probably some time lost in getting to and from the gym, so walking may…

I think what irritates me about it is that it seems to be completely cosmetic, so somebody thought it was worth wasting coding resources for a cosmetic change when there seem to be a lot of functional issues that bother users, some of them for years, and there's nothing done about them. (Other than problems with syncing,…

Yeah, when I read "invest" in the OP, I thought they were talking about buying a franchise from the company.

Did you check how many servings the recipe you created is for? I believe it defaults to 1, so if you didn't change it, it's including all the calories in the entire recipe in one serving.

If you're using the app, you can search your recipes by clicking on "add food" under a meal in your diary and then under the "recipe" tab, just start typing the name of the recipe. It doesn't have to be the beginning of the name. If you know it was a stew but you're not certain whether you called it beef stew or meat and…

Hi. You can use the app without being "social" with it (just log and don't post) but there are lot of community members who are happy to answer questions if you have them.

You're at a normal BMI (a function of your height and weight). Do you have a goal beyond just hitting a lower number on the scale? It's a shame for you to have such negative feelings about a number that is in a normal range for your height. Is it possible you're getting unrealistic ideas of what a healthy body looks like…

I recommend getting a kitchen food scale for more accuracy at home and to make you a better estimator when you eat away from home. I also recommend checking the database entries you use for accuracy, since it's a crowd-sourced database, plus maufacturers' recipes can vary across time and geographic borders. Best of luck.

Just spitballing here, but if the data is available on the web version, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the app on my phone.

Goals in MFP are based on RDA recommendations and the like, which don't exist for PUFAs and MUFAs. I shoot for 50 grams of fat overall as a minimum from a variety of sources, including PUFA rich sources, since the essential fatty acids are PUFAs. I find that MFP database entries frequently don't have MUFA and PUFA…

Add fats to your diet: cook with oil; dress salads, veggies, pretty much any savory food with oil, butter, sour cream, etc; use full-fat dairy or nondairy substitutes in coffee, tea, or cereal. Some people also find it easier to drink calories without feeling stuffed. Milk and smoothies can add nutrition, but if you're…

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…
