Kid-Approved Dinners?
I posted this elsewhere and got no replies so I’m thinking maybe it’s more appropriate here? Parents - or others who prepare meals for kids of any age - what healthy meals do your kids like? I am always looking for ideas that can help me stay on track while also introducing my kids to nutritious meals. Cooking separate…

Twitchy muscles?
I noticed the last few days that my bicep is twitching randomly. I thought it was dehydration, but I have been focusing on more water including electrolytes and it’s still happening. I strength train 2-3 times per week and have remained consistent for some time, so I don’t think it’s related to workouts. It’s not overly…

Do you log on holidays?
With 4th of July coming up here in the US, I was wondering if you all log on holidays or just try to stay mindful and take a break from logging for the day? I personally don’t usually log on holidays, unless I just estimate at the beginning of the day to get an idea. Not necessarily looking for advice, just curious how…

Weekly Review for the Current Week
I really like the weekly review of calorie/nutrient intake, but it would be great if I can see how I am doing mid-week rather than only be able to see the previous completed weeks. I searched the app to see if there was a way to do this and I wasn’t able to find anything like what I’m describing, but I may have missed it.

Varying calorie goals by day
I’ve been learning about best practices for maintaining muscle while losing weight and I want to check my understanding… So if I have calculated a deficit of 300 calories, I’m wondering if I should eat at a higher calorie goal on days I am lifting weights. MFP does not attribute as many calories to non-cardio exercises (so…

I see my muscles!
I used to think I struggled with consistency, but I have realized what I really struggle with is perfectionism. I used to get so discouraged and down on myself if I got off track. In the last six months or so I have really been working on that and started listening to my body more. I’ve been more accepting that life isn’t…

Is there a way to unfollow a discussion or thread?
(I searched for this topic but I did not find any exact answers. If it's out there, please feel free to direct me!) Is there a way to stop getting notifications from a specific thread without turning off notifications completely? So if I no longer wish to get notifications for a thread I posted in a few months ago, but I…

What healthy meals do your kids love?
Parents - or others who prepare meals for kids of any age - what healthy meals do your kids like? I am always looking for ideas that can help me stay on track while also introducing my kids to nutritious meals. One thing they do love is salmon. We serve it with some rice, avocado, and seaweed so they can make their own…

I need a coach
I would really like to meet with a coach to get a plan set up for fat loss. I’ve been working on building muscle and I’ve made some good progress, but I want to shift my focus to cutting body fat and I’m at a loss. 1) I’m scared about the commitment to cutting when I have kids and want to continue to have regular meals…

Can’t connect Garmin or Withings
Are any other Garmin users having difficulty connecting Garmin Connect to MFP? On my Garmin app it shows it’s connected, but on MFP it doesn’t show connected and doesn’t change no matter how many times I try to connect. Same thing with the Withings smart scale app. Please let me know if you’ve had similar issues and if…

Fueling early morning workouts in my 40s
Has anyone been able to find a consensus in the research regarding fasted workouts? As an early morning exerciser I never eat before I work out because I don’t have time to let my food settle before I get into it. Usually just make an electrolyte drink with some caffeine and that’s it. This has been working for me, but I…

Any Peloton users/At-home exercisers?
Wondering if there are any Peloton users out there who would like to connect for accountability and motivation. I found a couple of groups but they haven’t been active in a long time. I’m willing to start a new group if anyone is interested! I use the bike and the app. Also, if anyone is not a Peloton user but sticks to…

Hey! 👋🏼 Looking for accountability partners! 40’s F
MFP has always worked great to keep me mindful but what I need now is accountability. I have some good tips and experience to share and would love to learn from others too. Looking to connect with others and share diaries and/or collaborate on workout plans. I’m old to MFP but new to community, so still reading through…
