Food tracking problems
I am a from scratch/eyeball cook and I never really use recipes. I cook for just me and honestly, I eat some weird stuff. I just bought a food scale so that food tracking would be easier... Is there a way to just type in everything, hit enter once and be done??? For example, I just made a quick pasta/veggie/sardine one…

Hello hello
Hi y'all, My name is Magan. This site helped me lose a little weight a few years ago. I got sidetracked with saving for a home and moving 200 miles away from everyone and everything I knew to start a whole new career right before the pandemic hit 😷😵. Now I have the home, and the job is ok, but I haven't socialized face to…

Logging recipes
So I am making kale chips, and I weighted the kale, added the olive oil, and weighted that amount as well. I also weighted the end result. Which weights should I log into my 'recipe' for the weekend? As a from scratch/prep home cook, I struggle with which weight to log in a lot of recipes. I usually just use raw weights…

Snowshoeing
Why does mfp not list snowshoeing as an exercise? How do I estimate the calories I burn on a hilly 1.5/2 hr snowshoeing excursion? I certainly get sweaty and out of breath!

Homemade turkey stock-How to log it??
I make my own stock/broth from the roasted carcass. Whatever herbs and spices and a little apple vinegar and water is simmered for a long time then strained and cooled. The fat that rises to the top is discarded before it's used. How do I log this gelatinous goop? It gets used for soup bases and I also use it to cook…

Google fit??
Anyone else use Google fit? I don't think it is accurate. Today, for example, I wore my phone for the last six hours of work, and it thinks I am bicycling, but I'm driving work equipment. It goes crazy when I am working.

How do I log marinade/sauce that I cook chicken in? I am not eating the sauce itself, just using it to add flavor.

Exercise Videos for Introverts

That woman Jillian Michaels, nope. PX90-too much yelling!!!There are good yoga videos, but I am looking for body weight exercises, cardio,…

Food is my emotional support and it's a bad habit!
Here's just an emotional venting session- On this journey to be healthier, I have realized that food and eating are beloved hobbies of mine and binge eating is a coping mechanism. I live alone, I work nights and I do not have any friends that live near me. Shopping for food, cooking food, and eating foods are highlights in…

Recipe fails that turn out okay?
I make a tuna pasta salad with Greek yogurt. Today I got all the ingredients ready, saving the yogurt for last only to find I forgot to get yogurt this week... so I used low fat cottage cheese instead...its not bad. It doesn't bring the same tang that yogurt has, but it'll do! Anyone else have cooking flubs that have…

When I cook veggies like greens, should I weigh them before they're cooked? I am steaming the greens and not adding any fat or sodium.
