Frankly, I think it’s past time MFP cleans up and overhauls the food database. It is simply not even reliable enough to use with any assurance. You can type in a good item and get multiple entries for that item with differences in calories from 100 to 400 calories and macros.

I'm not 4 years out but I am 3 years and 4 months out and have been slowly gaining too by allowing old habits to slip back in. Started Saxenda injections to help with appetite. I'm going back and reading all my post-op food diaries and all the instructions and pretending I'm just coming off surgery. I also joined Gastric…

[ I do 5:2 and eat 800 cal on fasting days. ] kimothy38, please explain what 5:2 means. I'm trying to wrap my head around how this works to see if it works for me, a binge eater for 30+ years.

Wish I had words of encouragement - I'm in your boat and was searching the threads for support. I'm new to MFP community but have been logging food on here for about 3 years off and on.

The Fuzzy Navel is a yummy orange/peachy flavor. There are several refreshing flavors. Much easier to tolerate than milk-based proteins. I buy…

Dumb question: how can I friend y'all? I've only used the app for tracking and haven't had "friends" on here. I would love to be able to share my food diary!

I'm new to all this and experimenting with kale. Sautée it with olive oil, garlic, lemon and sometimes sliced almonds. Want to try putting it in my protein shakes next. But my question is how do you track that, portion and calorie-wise. I heard to boil the kale down 1st before adding it to shakes/smoothies. So "a cup" of…

I was sleeved on 7/21/14 so I am not yet on "real" food, but even being on pureed food, I am worried about gauging how much I am eating. Because unlike some lucky folks who have this, I still feel the "urge" to eat the yummy things I see around me. I am worried that when they "turn me loose" so to speak on my own…
