If he wants it he’ll start. Until then, you can’t do much else.

A week is not a plateau. You lost a ton of water that first week, and some of it is likely coming back and masking any loss you may have had. Keep to what you’re doing and give yourself at least a few more weeks before changing anything.

Obese is a BMI of 30 or more. 25.1 is literally ounces from a normal weight.

You may want to rethink not exercising, otherwise you'll pretty much be gaining just fat. Some form of strength or resistance training will help you out. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you

BMI works for a general population. There will always be outliers, but the majority of people will be fine within a healthy range.

All you have to do is eat more than you burn. Avoid whatever foods trigger you.

The only way it won't let you complete your diary is if you're logging fewer than the 1000 calories (for women...1200 calories for men). If that's the case, then you need to be eating more. That said, closing your diary isn't required. Everything still saves, and as you've noticed the streak is only based on you logging…

MFP tracks the nutrients that are required on food labels. Others would be unreliable to track (and even the ones that are required could be entered in wrong). You can try Cronometer out...they track more, but I don't know if they have an app.

5:2 is meant to be two days at 500 calories and five days at maintenance, so you should likely be averaging more than 1200 calories. You don't have to exercise to lose weight. Think of it more for your health and body composition. Also you can't spot reduce, so when you lose fat you'll lose it from everywhere.

For the most part losing weight and gaining muscle are mutually exclusive. You can gain muscle in certain cases only (young, male, obese). That doesn't mean don't stop what you're doing.

If you aren't using the diary on here then I would say going premium wouldn't be worth the cost since most of the features revolve around that

As long as you feel up to doing without overexerting yourself. Even if you can only do five minutes on it that's a great start.

It took me about 25-30 pounds (from 248 pounds to start with) to notice. It's different for everyone.

Just because an item is already packaged doesn't mean it weighs what the package says. They can legally be off up to 20%.

Enter all the ingredients in the recipe builder. That way you know what's in it unlike database entries.

The database is user created, and for US foods is in total carbs (international standards are generally net). If you want a net carb entry, you’ll likely have to create one yourself.

Try adding USDA to your search

You need to do paleo vegan

You won’t stop losing because you aren’t eating enough. If you are low carb and low fat, then you’ll need to add more lean protein sources in, including shakes if you have to. Have you spoken to a dietitian who can help work around your limits?

One or two days of under/not eating isn't the end of the world. Do what your body says.

Unless you have a medical reason to watch your sugar intake, you're fine. Many of us don't even track sugar.
