Adjusting my calories-burned / calories-allowed-to-eat
I notice in the discussion forums, that a lot of people only allow themselves to eat back 1/2 of the extra calories MFP has added onto their minimum daily calorie allowance (MFP has added because of exercise & calories burned). I find trying to figure out the math of this all the time, to be a hassle. My standard daily…

I often use real onion instead of green onion, and often add chopped tomato...just didn't have any on hand today. You can make it with any grain ...millet, cous cous, etc. I couldn't fit the…

Today my FitBit syncs, but MFP not syncing with FitBit steps?
Hi I searched through the 'sync' topics in the FAQ but couldn't find an answer to this... I'm still fairly new to both FitBit and MFP. The past few days they've been syncing fine. Today though, I was around 200 calories over my limit, so I got my butt out the door for a long walk. Came back, and I want my sync to work…

Are there stored recipes in MFP I can just make and then add to diary? Can't seem to find.
I'm a bit confused by recipes in MFP. I want to make a millet taboulleh. To avoid having to enter an entire recipe myself of how I usually make it, I'm willing to follow an existing recipe. When I enter 'taboulleh' in MFP, one of the options is 'recipe - taboulleh' which to me suggested that it exists in the system…

Wow, MFP says calories burned for cycling (at correct mph rate) more than double what's correct??
I did an hour of light cycling and MFP gave me over 1000 calories burned for that. I knew that was really high for 10 miles per hour and checked it at this cycling calculator http://www.bicycling.com/training/fitness/cycling-calories-burned-calculator and it is more than double the reality. How come, and must I manually…

Just bought Charge, and it won't charge/screen won't light up?

Still nothing on the screen when I held the button. I checked to make sure the charger connection was secure. I tried holding the button…

How to add database recipes to log?
I've been trouble figuring out how to access recipes that are in the database. My first question is, how do you access them and then add them to your food log? Sort of separately, I Googled and found this recipe on MFP and made it. But on this page, I can't find any option for how to add the one-cup serving to my food log?…

New FitBit Charge won't charge/light up/activate?
I'm hoping this is the right place to post this... I couldn't find a FitBit-specific group but if there is one please let me know! I bought the Charge. I installed the software, and since nothing happened on the screen of the device when I held the button for three seconds, I plugged it in to charge it for two hours. Still…

1200 calories?
I've been going through some of the sticky posts in the forums, trying to get answers to some questions. A few of them seem to suggest that 1200 calories as the target is low, and that's because of how you filled out the initial goals. Some of these posts are helpful, like this one…

New and a bit daunted by MFP - Vancouver
Hi I'm new, from Vancouver, 49, and would love to lose 30-40 lbs. I have lots of questions. Like, do people weigh all their foods?? I just had some slices of cheese and have no idea how many ounces it was. Plus lots of the options for something I've eaten that I type in, seem to indicate brand names I've never heard of in…
