Logging Water/Drinks
If you drink herbal tea as well as other drinks, do you log them as water or do a search on the data base and have them logged in their own right? I have been logging them as water but if it has been another drink such as Horlicks Light or Skinny Mocha, I have logged them separately.

Beeps!
I have created a phased routine and on one of the displays there is a minimum and maximum heart rate. I presume this has been generated from my weight age and height. When doing the phased routine I hear a beeping and the lower bpm is flashing. Can anyone tell me what this means?

An Activity a Day (For 'Disability/'Health-Challenged' Folk)
The idea of this is to encourage one another to achieve a physical goal per day. It is so easy to do nothing when in pain or fatigue. However small or large it is; it is still an achievement in our aim to stay as fit as possible.

Commercial v Home-made Protein Bars Question
I have had a go at making my own protein bars after reading they are more cost-efficient, nicer and don't upset your stomach. This can be quite difficult for me due to disabilities, but I wanted to put it to the test and eat what I hoped was food that was more natural. I have a problem getting enough protein and am one of…

Nut Butter Failures
Has anyone made nut butter successfully? I keep reading how easy it is to make and if it doesn't come together properly to add a little oil. All I get is a bread crumb consistency. I did the soak and dry process first as well. In total I had the magimix on for about an hour. I tried running it for 15 mins at a time and…

Unsubscribing/Unfollowing a Post
So, with the helpful MFP folk I know now how to follow a post. What if I want to stop following that post? How do I do this?

How do you log when leaving parts of food?
By this I mean if for example you have a chippy fish and only eat half the batter. Another example is like I have just had a quorn toad in the hole. I am not mad about Yorkshire pudding style batter so I left half of the batter and ate what was left plus the 2 sausages. When logging this as say 2/3rds of a pack, it would…

Kettlebells
Just bought a 2kg kettlebell that I can barely budge. Apart from that I am surprised to see they are not on the exercise database.

Replying to Post Question
Unless it is staring in the face, how do I get notifications from any posts I have replied to? If I have started one that is fine as it is in 'My Discussions'. But I have to try and remember which discussions and how many pages back it was to see if there are any replies. I am sure I am missing something here but never…

Polar Flow Exercises
I have just noticed that after syncing Polar Flow with MFP it puts in supposedly what I have done regarding exercise. This is nothing like what I have done. I cannot walk very well on most occasions because of disability, and I have 2 sessions of walking as running at the equivalent of 9 miles an hour which is laughable. I…

When is enough enough?
Posting in a few places as about to go back to the way things were. This is so bizarre. I am now at my heaviest since I was a teenager. The more I try to exercise and keep to healthy eating; the more the pounds are piling on. The only thing I can think of is to weigh myself at a different time of the day. I normally weigh…

Adding Steps without a 'Named' Wearable.
Is there any other simpler way of adding 'steps' to the exercise section? My Xiaomi Mi band which isn't an MFP named wearable (despite many wanting it to be), tracks both steps and 'workouts'. I have just bought the Polar H7 chest band and transmitter which I have used with the phone app; and I have the F4 coming tomorrow.…

Thought-provoking Question!
I was chatting with a friend today I hadn't seen for a while, and we were discussing height. I mentioned how I had 'shrunk' 2 inches over the years due to getting older (quite normal) and because of my curvature of the spine getting worse. My friend asked did I base my height on what it was before my shrinkage/curvature…

What is your variation in pounds throught the day?
I am feeling pretty gutted. I have just taken arrival of Ozeri Precision II Digital Bathroom Scale. Prior to this I have been using the Wii once a week as I couldn't find our ancient mechanical scale. I was horrified to find despite my continued efforts this last week, I am 2.5 lbs more than last week. I know all about…

MFP Premium
Has anyone had this and cancelled? I was wondering if there are any problems as O2 rewards are doing a 3 month free trial for the premium. I am tempted to sign up for this but have every intention of cancelling after the 3 months is up.

Decided to look for friends
Hi all. I have been using MFP for nearly 3 weeks and wasn't sure at first if I would stick with it, or if it was for me. The breakdown has enabled me to see my protein intake has been too low, so I am now supplementing my diet with protein powder when necessary. Apart from one friend off Facebook that I already know; I…

Items in the Database
As a newbie I apologise if this has been addressed already somewhere. I have just found out that many of the items in the database are incorrect, this is even when there are duplicates of the same item. This could either be in the amount of nutritional content themselves; or vitamins and minerals that have not been added…

New, but....
Hi everyone. I am new to the program but not sure whether I will stick with it. The reason being, just in the 3 days I have been using it I have been 'too aware' of logging everything which has resulting in myself being hungry all the time. I know enough about nutrition if the body cries hunger then it actually needs food.…
