How Do I get new foods into the database?
I want to add My foods to the community database so others won't be befuddled by how much a Taco Bell beefy burrito may have set them back. Can anyone tell me whether the MFP database is open to all registered users or is there some reason I can't do this/expect this of the app?

To that end, MMF prepared me a report listing how much I could eat/exercise in any given day to stay on track for a 1lb a week loss. I now realize that this 2 lb a week goal was too fast, too soon. But I can't figure out…

Need help putting my app in the proper time zone?
I understand that one day's logged input will bleed over into other days if you don't have your time zone set correctly (so MFP automatically flips you over into the correct "next day" with a clean palette for starting that day's tracking. My app seems to be operating on west coast time and I need to switch it to eastern…

Newbie with question on tracking carbs and protein

Hi. I'm new to the MFP community and still trying to find my way around the app. I have a question I hope someone can answer for me. I found the screen where I can enter a new exercise along with how long I did it. So, for example, I entered that I walked for 30 minutes today. But then it asks for "calories burned" for…
