UK / European users - wrong carb numbers when adding entries to a Recipe in MFP?
I've not had any problems with entries on MFP previously. A few days ago, I wanted to add some new ingredients to an existing Recipe and every correct-sounding item that I found in the database had the wrong Carbs value. Via my Food Diary page, I added a new entry, but when I went back to my Recipe and searched for that…

Macros for a diabetic
I know it's only calories that are important for weight loss but, as I'm getting closer to my goal, I'd like to ensure I'm eating a balanced diet too. I'm female, 52, 157cm tall and my cw is 57kg (125lb). I'm now in Normal BMI, but would like to get to the middle of Normal. MFP gives me 1200 calories and I eat back my…

Can find an item to add to my diary
When I try to add a particular salsa dip to today's 'snacks' listing, no match is found. I've tried every search combo, minimal words etc and still can't find it. Yet when I then go to add it to the food listing, it comes up with the exact item, immediately, and I'm told that I may be about to add a duplicate. Why would…

Which ingredients to log?
Hi, I cooked a salmon dish but am not sure which ingredients I should include. The half side of salmon was placed on top of a layer of dill and slices of lemon, which were on a sheet of foil. More lemon and dill went on top of the salmon. The sides of the foil were then raised so I could pour a small amount of wine around…

Tomato Sauce mentioned in a recipe
Hi, I spotted a recipe for Smoky Tomato Herb Baked Chicken on the MFP app earlier and think it sounds really good. However, the ingredients list contains "no salt added tomato sauce". Does anyone know what that translates to in the UK?

Vit C % query for recipe ingredients
Hi all, I added a cauliflower recipe a couple of days ago but it's showing a weird value for Vit C %. It was made up of a mix of grated cauli, grated courgette, diced onions (around 70g of each), a diced tomato, a teaspoon each of ground cumin, chopped garlic & fresh ginger plus a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.…

Goal vs Net Calories
Hi everyone. My calorie goal is 1200 but I normally eat a bit above this, which is fine as I am slowly losing weight. I'm just happy tracking what I eat and ensuring that, generally, I'm eating sensibly. I exercise 4-5 days a week and eat some of those calories back. Today, exercise meant that my daily goal was increased…
