Recipe Maker - Measure in grams instead of number of servings
Is there any way to create a recipe using the MFP recipe maker, so that instead of number of servings, you can indicate portion size in grams. For example, if I created a personalized recipe for Tuna salad, instead of 3 servings, can I just indicate calories and nutritional values based on 100 grams? I like to put a scant…

My Foods Still Not Saving
It has been a long time now, but when I create an entry in my foods with all the nutritional information, it still is not saving into MFP. All I get from customer service is that they are aware of the problem. I think I may start looking for alternative sites. The My Foods and My Recipes were the main reason I went with…

Looking to add other lgbt who actually post food diaries on a regular basis
So many people on MFP either keep their food diaries private or don't post at all. I would love to add other gay friends who actually post their diary. Why? Because I like to see what others are eating to get ideas and help me get more creative in meal planning. I am in a food rut, same stuff over and over.

My Foods Not Saving
Has MFP changed or limiting the number of personal foods that you can create? I am using the free non premium version. I have tried to create several new items in "My Food" but they are not showing up in any of my searches.

Calories in Steamed Chicken
I really love organic skinless chicken thighs made in my steamer. They come out so moist, despite loosing most of the fat. Also, easy to shred to make lettuce leaf tacos, salad toppings, etc. But I can't really find an accurate site to show the nutritional values. The USDA site only provides "stewed, roasted, braised or…

How much sugar penetrates and remains in fish from boiling in a water/sugar base.
I have a delicious recipe for mock lobster, which calls for boiling a piece of cod in a mixture of water, 1/2 cup sugar, and juice from 1/2 lemon. Obviously I am not going to consume the full 1/2 cup sugar, but I was wondering how much sugar actually penetrates the fish. This is important to me not only for counting…

Looking for Sugar Free Instant Pudding Candy Recipes
Looking for some recipes using instant sugar free pudding. Of course, I could just make pudding, but I am looking to create something that I can munch on without the guilt. I made sugar free gummies with jello, but stumped for ideas with the pudding.

Oxalate restricted meals
I have recently been diagnosed with high urine ph, high uric acid, and extremely high urine oxalate crystals. I have been put on a strict low oxalate diet, but was wondering if there are any other people out there in MFP land who also are oxalate restricted. What are some of your favorite foods or recipes for low oxalate…

Calorie Counts - Microwave versus Roasting, and Other Methods
I rely on USDA heavily but their choices only include raw, stewed, roasted. I often microwave, and I wonder if there is any significant difference between microwaving and roasting. For example, I have a recipe where I actually microwave some of the dark thigh meat of a chicken. Per USDA,100 grams raw equals 121 calories;…

Nutritional Value for a single pork baby back rib, Bone In, roasted?
I have searched high and low, and can only come up with the nutritional value for only the edible portion of pork baby back ribs. Would anyone know the nutritional value of just a single, cooked, bone in, pork baby back rib. No sauce or rubs. Not a half or full rack. Just 1 rib, bone in. I had in a restaurant so I could…

Corn On The Cob
I am turning to the group for help. I have searched extensively on Google and the USDA site, and I come up with caloric values for an ear of corn on the cob as low as 99 calories and as high as 187 calories. So exactly, how many calories in an ear of corn? Medium to Large, weighing about 289 grams including the cob. I feel…

My Foods in Shared Data Base
I have quite a few food items that I have shared to the data base. I spent a lot of time transferring the information from the actual labels. Question, when someone changes or edits my item in the shared data base, does that also change the values that I have in my personal "My Foods" list in my MFP account? In other…

Calories in Fruit Cocktail in Syrup
I have a large jar of fruit cocktail. The label says 78 calories for 100 grams. The total weight is 680 grams with the drained weight 385 grams. I am confused how to accurately log this item. There is no other indication on the nutritional label. So, is the 100 grams based only on the drained fruit and not include the…

Package Label vs USDA data base
I bought some chicken livers and the nutritional value on the package indicates that 118 grams equals 110 calories. However the USDA data base for the same livers is 100 grams equals 119 calories. That is a noticeable difference. The package label has 18 grams more but the calories are 9 less. Which one should I be using?…

Calories in Cooked Vs Raw
I normally weigh my foods raw to determine calories based on the USDA database. Shouldn't it come out to be roughly the same amount of calories after cooking based again on the USDA database? To test, I weighed a farm raised salmon filet, raw at 103 grams and 214 calories based on USDA 15236, Fish, salmon, Atlantic,…

My Foods Shared Data Base
I am a bit annoyed. I painstakingly transcribe nutritional information from package labels when creating new entries into My Foods. I share this information with other MFP users, which means it goes into the shared data base. I regularly discover that other users have edited this information with conflicting or inaccurate…

My Food Creation
When creating an entry into My Food, how do I show different serving sizes. For example, have a drop down arrow that lets me select 100 grams, or 1 tablespoon, or 1 teaspoon, or 3 ounces, etc. I ask because I eat my favorite foods often, but not always in the same portion size. I see this selection menu often, but I am…

Barcode versus Package Label Nutritional Values
Which do you think is the most accurate? Often I find that the barcode when scanned, comes in much lower that the values noted on the product packaging. Example, a chicken leg quarter when the barcode is scanned results in calories of 150 per 100 grams. The package lists it as 185 calories per 100 grams. And the USDA site…

How To Use Both Fitbit and Map My Walk
I normally use Fitbit Flex, but from time to time I use Map My Walk and always end up with double the amount of calories burned.
