Low fat protein to add to oatmeal/hot cereal?
Anybody found a good powdered unsweetened almond, cashew, or tree nut butter or other very neutral flavored protein powder for putting into their breakfast cereal (oatmeal, oat bran, cream of wheat, etc.) to boost the protein? I usually intend to buy some chicken breakfast sausages, but they are often not in stock when I…

If any of you would be interested in following a 45 year old disabled transmasculine person who has struggled with undereating and is trying, with the help of a professional dietician, to eat a healthy amount of food and restart exercising/weightlifting, I feel like I would benefit from having a few "friends". Currently I…

Goals. Are mine reasonable, close to reasonable, ridiculous, or impossible? &Where to measure hip?
I've decided to fast on rest days, not a hard fast, just a lower fat, less calorie fast day. Probably 2 days a week. I've set my goals to exercise 4 days a week, but realistically, I will probably exercise 5 days a week, I just didn't want to make my goal so high it discouraged me. I would like input from others who have…

High Fiber Intake, possible without a supplement?
Does anyone know if it is possible to get 30 grams fiber in a daily diet with food alone? Or does that high of a fiber intake require supplementation with a fiber source (like Metamucil, Citrucel, Benefiber, etc)? I am adding ground flax seed to all my cereals already, and I do eat vegetables (plus I only use whole grain…

Food Diary, remaining numbers, is there any fitness tracker that pulls those?
I'm looking to buy a fitness tracker (fitbit, polar, vivofit, etc), and I am hoping that some/any of them can pull the food diary numbers from MyFitnessPal and send it to my fitness tracker throughout the day. Is this possible? So that on my tracker, I would be able to see at a glance how many remaining calories, grams of…

My Home/Goals/Change Goals/Custom, help please
Fitness goals make NO difference, so WHY would I work out? Furthermore, this makes no sense at all, is this part of the website broken, or am I misunderstanding how it works? Here are two image screenshots of my settings in My Home/Goals/Change Goals/Custom. The first one is my diet goals, with an exercise goal of…

Fitness Trackers, do you have one? Do you NEED one?
I'm just starting my 2015 "get with the program" push, and I'm also new here. I came from another similar website, but this one has way easier food tracking options, and making things easier is helpful, because I lack motivation. I've put on more weight this past winter (I live in Vermont, so that means over the past 6…

Hello my name is Phae, and I have 1 major question.
How do I get the forum preview to NOT show on my "Home" page when I log into MyFitnessPal.com? I'd rather not have to look at "Reeces peanut cups" and other bad influences shown in that preview every time I log in to add my SPINACH or PLAIN OATMEAL. If I have managed to remove all traces of chocolate and sweets from my…
