The Pie Chart at the bottom of the Food Diary is very useful. It could be made even better if the percentages from each category are automatically seen in the pie chart categories. Now to see the percentages, you have to run the mouse over the Pie Chart, and write them down, which is not much effort but it is two extra…

Recording Exercise
I use the Elliptical about 4 times a week, High Intensity Intervals, usually about 25 minutes. However, the 25 minutes is not just 25 minutes making the Elliptical go back and forth, it is "high intensity." Any way to record the HIIT minutes in MFP?

Understanding relationship between Total Calories (kcal) and Total Carbs (g)
So far today, my Total Calories is 722 and Total Carbs is 29. I am trying to calculate the % of my total carbs to total calories, bit of problem doing the formula. I know there are 4 calories in 1 gram, so total Carb calories would be 29 x 4 = 116. Would the correct formula be 116/722, the result being 16.06%, i.e. 16% of…

Giving blood plus snacks
I wish food entries/recording had a place for notes. I gave blood today and the snacks I ate at the time blows my daily intake almost into orbit. If there were a place for notes like on the exercise input, then I could make a note otherwise I may not remember 3 months from now.

Puzzled: last two days 'gaining' weight?
Losing weight I know requires but hard to practice 'patience.' As of Monday, I had lost 21 # since Jan 30. I follow a diabetic diet religiously, look forward to and go daily to the Y doing cardio on Elliptical and strength training on the circuit. But since Monday I have added 2.2 #. I drink 14 oz water daily, low carbs…

Different Profile Picture
An expected and an okay question might be "How does my new profile picture have anything to do with motivation?" I was privileged to have had the opportunity to volunteer for the draft and serve 2 years in the United States Army 1963-1965. My job took me to Germany where I had another privilege and that was to serve in the…

Copy food diary - one or two entries from one date to another
A number of my food diary entries I use again the next day or next several days. It would save lots of time to be able to copy single entries from a previous date to my current date. Someone has suggested copy the whole page and then delete. This would take as much time as I am now doing plus I may want to copy a previous…

Difference in calories burned on Elliptical and what MFP says
I usually spend 35 minutes on the Elliptical at YMCA and calories burned shows around 200 or bit higher. MFP for 35 minutes shows 703. Why the big difference? Could it be that MFP knows my weight and age and I don't enter this in the Elliptical at the Y?
