Are those details actually available on the 'Nutrition information' of most foods? You can't record or track information that isn't there.

You can still do it (at least on my phone), but you have to use the three-dot menu at top right. * Tap on the three-dot menu and select 'Edit Diary' * Select the foods you want to copy * Tap on the three-dot menu again and select 'Copy to Date' I don't know whose idea it was to remove the Edit button from the top of the UI…

Half an hour of ankle, calf and hip physio, followed by half an hour of upper body and core work to balance things out. Then, at lunchtime, a 7km jog through my local woods that went repeatedly up and down the steepest slopes. My Samsung health app reckons I did over 1,000 ft of ascent, and while I think that’s an…

Today was one of my physio workout days. Between them, my hip problems and my ankle problems keep me busy… Knee to wall stretches 3*10 Single leg standing calf raises 3*10 Ankle inversion/eversion 3*10 Seated calf raises with 10kg weight, 3*6 (it ought to be 20kg, but I darn near killed myself carrying the 10kg dumbbell…

I have now reached out to the support team, as there seems to be a misunderstanding; my calories from exercise are definitely being double-counted. That is not in doubt. My question is why, and how to stop it; and the system does not appear to be behaving as you describe.
-
If my exercise is not being double counted, I am intrigued to know why I’m getting 1400 exercise calories rather than the 700-ish that I know from experience is correct. And if my calorie adjustment isn’t based on my step count, why today did it suddenly change from 300-odd (definitely wrong) to -77 (plausible) shortly…

I’ll probably continue needing the custom insoles due to my shorter leg; apparently that, combined with a couple of other things that they also address, is what was causing my forefoot pain. I confess I was dubious at first, especially as initially they mostly felt like torture devices for my feet, but now I’m a true…

When I was morbidly obese, every doctor I saw brought up my weight. Prior to my ankle surgery I had an anaesthesiologist give me what he clearly thought was ‘tough love’, but what was actually bullying that left me in tears in the appointment and unable to eat for days afterwards. None of them ever explored why I was so…

I start losing sensation in my fingers at temperatures below 19C (Raynaud’s). Yes, even when I’m wearing a jumper. I was brought up on the edge of the Scottish highlands in a house where the heating didn’t work properly, before moving south for university. Back when I was morbidly obese I used to keep my window open all…

I’ve taken up running. I’ve tried taking up running several times before, but every time I got injuries that stopped me in my tracks. Pulled a hamstring, pulled a ligament in my arthritic ankle, developed pain in my forefoot… Well, I decided to try again, but this time I went to a sports podiatrist first, told him…
-
Yeah, winter is hard. All my favourite places to walk and run are quagmires from months of rain, and each day I have to plan for the windows of time where it’s not raining, and it’s not dark, and I can get out. (Yes, I have all the appropriate gear to go out in the rain, but I still find it unpleasant for many reasons).…

I've been having this problem too (on Android) and it's even more annoying since the latest app update that's moved the search box, which is the only way I can get to the exercises I actually use. I'm also very unimpressed that this known issue is not listed as a Known Issue...

My tailbone hurts. Why are all the seats so hard?!

Cappuccino and a big mincemeat tart. I'm gonna be having a small lunch to make up for that, but I looove Christmas flavours!
-
Baked apples. A nice big cooking apple stuffed with oats, cinnamon, and a little mixed fruit and sugar, and then baked in the oven for an hour. Nom! ...and NO, cat, you are not having any...

Pears. Because I like pears A LOT. Also, they go really well with savoury things like blue cheese as well as with sweets. And you can have them raw, or stewed, or in crumble, or as chutney, or… …’scuse me, I’m just going to nip out and do some harvesting…
-
Where did you get that idea from? I do more than 2 hours of exercise almost every day. I regularly log six-hour hikes. I've occasionally logged longer. Pre-Covid I would occasionally do back-to-back high-energy gym classes. I got the full calorie 'credit' for all of them. In fact it would be highly unethical of MFP to lie…

You do know that scanning the barcode just searches the MFP database, right? The barcode doesn't contain any nutritional information.

Staying busy and engaged. I start to feel 'hungry', even 'starving', when I'm understimulated. ...do not ask how the Covid lockdowns and restrictions have gone for me...
-
How angry I would become about large portions of my past life. I grew up and lived most of my adult life in a world where everything was an immense effort; people were basically unfriendly and unhelpful, and getting decent healthcare required me to do a lot of research and advocacy. Now things just fall into my lap. People…

Thankyou! It's taken a lot of hard work and I'm still struggling with some eating disorder issues, but it's worth it. The first pic is of me on holiday in Iceland; that was the glacial outflow lake Jokulsarlon. I'd always wanted to swim in icy water. (Wouldn't do it now, mind; I miss that insulation!)
-
I'm currently working from home due to Covid. I wake up early and go for a long walk before I start work, and then I take a long walk after lunch as well (and work later in the evening to make up my hours). I'm basically prioritising exercise because it's not like there's anything else to do!
-
I've posted before, but I've recently taken some new 'after' photos after maintaining for two years and doing an awful lot of working out :) Height: 5'7 Starting weight: 27 stone (ish) Current weight: 11 stone 5 (which is higher than my ideal, but eh, lockdown)
-
I currently walk about 22,000-29,000 steps a day in my local woods. I love finding new vantage points or little items to photograph - we don't talk about my eleventy billion mobile phone photos of fungi :) I also go hiking most weekends, for about 15 miles or so (35,000+ steps). I don't take anything with me unless I'm…

I have enough trouble with my hips, I think my physio would actually cry if I inflicted this abomination on them.
-
If I didn’t eat back my exercise calories I would die. I walk for 3-4 hours a day, do a home workout on top of that on at least three days per week, and hike 15 miles or so at weekends. Heck yeah am I adjusting my eating to compensate for that level of expenditure.
-
(Though on the bright side, unless they obsessively weigh and measure everything they will be eating much more than 800 calories in reality)

If you don’t want to lose your parents, you really don’t want them to be following such an unhealthy diet.
