Is there a limit to the number of MY FOODS you can enter
I have entered at least 200 foods in mfp, probably more like 300. I've noticed many have disappeared. Is it possible as I enter new foods that I'm "bumping out" older foods? I know I've entered "fresh blueberries" at least 3 times recently and it keeps disappearing. Editing to add: I have realized that these foods are…

Using My Foods in a new recipe
Long time user of mfp and I still can't figure this one out. Example: I've created a food for beef stew meat - it is extremely lean and there are no existing options in the database. I want to create a recipe using THAT food. How do I do that?

NOT eating fitness calories
I've used MFP over the years. I have always chosen to NOT connect my fitness device (fitbit, apple watch) because I do not want to eat my activity calories. I figured over time the writers of MFP would create a toggle (as Weight Watchers did) so the user could decide if they want to eat them or not. It appears nothing has…

Tech issue...MFP added calories incorrectly
I couldn’t post in the technical problem page, so sorry this is a bit off topic. I’m not a newbie, but oddly today my calories are adding correctly. I added all different ways to make sure...added carbs times 4, protein times 4, fat times 9, still the calorie total is over the correct number by about 100. How can that…

No notes for recipes?
I know there’s a place for notes when creating meals. But I can’t believe there is none for recipes. Say I’m making beef stew and the first time I make it I figure there are five servings with each serving being 1.5 cups. The only thing I can save is 5 servings. There is no place to write how much a serving is equal to. So…

No place for recipe notes?
I wasn't sure which board to post this. Sorry if there was a better place other than here. I see there is a place for notes in "My Meals", but I can't find anything similar in "My Recipes". For instance, my slow cooker recipe for steel cut oats makes 7 servings when I use my big ladle. Is there someplace I can make a note…

Basic measuring in 100g
I've been measuring my food for ages. I can be a bit neurotic about measuring sometimes :blush: I read something in a comment I've been meaning to ask about... I normally measure larger quantities in ounces and smaller quantities in grams. Someone made a comment about "always using 100g measurements cause it's the easiest…

saving entries from database
I'm not exactly a noob, but I have a feeling there's a way to make my life easier. Being that there are soooo many entries for some foods (with many discrepancies) is there a way to save the one I want for future use? I know if I use it recently it will show up in Recents and used often it will show up in Frequent, but…

transferring recipe from app to app question
I've used MFP in the past, but mostly use Weight Watchers. I've reached lifetime with them so it's free for me. But, I'm interested in paying more attention to macros so I would like to go back to using the MFP app. I have many recipes in my WW app. I'm fairly sure I know the answer to this, but is there any chance I can…
