Struggling with Protein and Fiber
Hi. I'm doing 1800 calories à day but I have to hit 113g protein and 29g fiber. Even though I don't like fruit, I love veggies and pulses etc so am good with fiber. 29g is a lot though! But..I'm struggling trying to get protein in. I'm not a big dairy fan but I've started to eat a lot of skyrs and now add protein powders.…

Fitbit exercise calories didn't sync
My steps for yesterday have logged ok on MFP but it says zero for calories. I've used MFP and Fitbit together for months without any problems. I tried disconnecting Fitbit from mfp but it won't disconnect. I've tried syncing again a few times too. Any ideas?

Weekly weigh day...
Hi I'm weighing myself everyday and looking at my weight loss average at the end of the week so I know it shouldn't matter what day is my new day of the week - but I don't always do well at the weekends, especially a Sunday so don't like a Monday morning weigh in. A friend told me that Monday mornings are the best though…

How do you record exercise activity
Hi. I'm starting again - putting all my trust fully into just MFP and my Fitbit. I've set my activity to moderate because even though I sit all day at work, I do move a lot during the day and try to get 10k steps in. So I think that would be moderate? I want to track my occasional running and biking though but I'm scared…

Just lost 1 months food entries
Hi I seem to have been one of the people who've had lots of problems syncing firstly my fitbit, then food entries from the app to my desktop. All app entries posted no problem, but showed nothing on mfp site on a desktop. I saw on their tech support that some people resolved this by deleting and reinstalling the app. I did…

MFP app and desktop not syncing???
How strange...I've checked and my email and password on the desktop mfp and the password and email on my app mfp are the same - but none of the food entries i entered on my phone app have transferred to my computer? Anyone else had this glitch? How do I contact mfp for tech problems?

Fitbit sync
My fitbit didn't sync yesterday or today. Should I just leave it and it will eventually catch up and sync, or should I put my steps in manually?

Best time to eat a chocolate/sweet treat
I'm terrible for night time binging once I start on anything dessert - sweet like, so I'm trying not to eat any kind of dessert or choc treats and just having a tea or a LF hot choc drinks instead, but, I still want to try and eat the odd sweet treat. I read somewhere that eating a sweet treat around 4pm or 5pm (that's…

Entering walking steps
So I've given up trying yo keep my fitbit and mfp properly synced! 😒 So I'm just entering in my daily steps manually. I'd just like second opinions to make sure I'm not overestimating. So today I logged eg 17000 steps. (it was a busy day! Plus 2 big dog walks) I can't log the steps on mfp so I logged it as the 147 minutes…

Really low on fibre today
I've already tracked my whole day but just noticed that I've only got about 7g of fibre logged! Nearly hit my protein goal for the first time so back to the drawing board to get some more fibre in somehow.

Tracking steps as minutes
Had thus on the fitness board but very little responses so hoping I can figure this out here... I've given up trying yo keep my fitbit and mfp properly synced! 😒. Disconnected and reconnected umpteen times. Can't be bothered now. So I'm just entering in my daily steps manually. I'd just like second opinions to make sure…

Fitbit..
Is it a waste of time trying to keep my fitbit synced to mfp? I've actually only synced it without any issues for about 3 days. The other days I've spent hours disconnecting and reconnecting umpteen times until it finally syncs. Just starting to think it might be better just to enter my steps manually at the end of every…

Really struggling overeating at night
Help! I can easily plan my food properly..often the night before so it's all thought out each day. I don't mind logging food so don't find it a problem. I eat well for breakfast and lunch. I know I struggle from about 4pm onwards so I often try to incorporate a snack around 4pm to stop me being too hungry before we eat…

Setting calories on mfp
Hi If I want to loose a min of 1lb every week, I do an office job all week but consider myself quite an active lovely person and aim to do a min of 10k steps a day... Would you set your calorie goal at what mfp says for 1lb weight loss 1350 or would you set it higher eg 1700 and sync your fitbit to it so your active…

Eating exercise calories...
I've just read a success story that advised us to eat 95% of exercise calories burned and just to concentrate on a normal calorie déficit. Just curious about other people's opinions on this.
