How to tell MFP that I'm fasting?
Didn't know where to put this, so it's in this group. Occasionally I fast wherein I only consume water, sometimes a little coffee and maybe tea. My fasts can be anywhere from 1-3 days consecutive. Problem is that MFP doesn't count a day of water-only as a logged day and I lose my logging streak count. What should I enter…

A better way to set target goals
I'm trying out a new BioImpedence Analysis Scale and have collected 5 new datapoints over the last 6 days of ownership. The scale measures Weight, Bodyfat%, Muscle Mass% and Water%.

Tracking Hydration Levels

Retroactive Fitbit Data Sync with MFP
Hi- Currently I sync my FitBit One data 2-3 times per day. I would like to reliably reduce my sync schedule to 2-3 days. As I understand, the FitBit device retains data for up to 7 days if the device isn't synced. If I only sync a few days per week, will MFP put the data in the correct days and show my calorie in/out…

New MFP user- happy thus far
Hi- I've been using MFP for about a month and I have been really impressed with it. It has allowed me to quantify things that I wanted to track and observe in my habits and now that I have a specific fitness goal, my wife recommended it to me and I'm glad I took her advice.
