"Calories Burned" Changing Retroactively
I don't know if this relates to the adjustment problems people are having trouble with (if it does, let me know, I don't want to be redundant). I have been tracking my "Calories Burned" (per FitBit) and "Calories Consumed" (per logging in MFP) in an Excel spreadsheet since January 12th. Today I went to input my FitBit…

Same Product, Higher Calories (I'm looking at you, Doritos!)
Several products I purchase have recently increased in calories and I'm wondering what is going on. These are not product overhauls nor new formulas/weights/serving sizes. I've been logging Doritos on occasion since 2012 and the nutrition label has stated 140 calories per 28 grams for years. Well, I bought a bag for the…

Zip Question
My question is, does the Zip "remember" your data for a long time, such that if you sync only once a week or once every two weeks you can still download your data? I have a One that I love, but since it's been discontinued I'm nervous that I'm a washing machine accident away from not having a tracker. My plan is to buy a…

Any MFP Premium users on 5:2? Can you set a 500 goal?
I'm thinking of giving 5:2 a go (I just ordered the Mosley book, I'm looking forward to reading it). I see that MFP premium users can set a custom calorie goal by day, which I think would be handy for fast days. My question is, does the app allow you to set a low calorie day of 500? Or does it force you to set it to 1200?…

FitBit Math - Can I Haz Ur Help?
Math is not my strong suit and I'm stuck. I want to predict how many additional calories I would burn if I increase my steps. I thought it would be a straightforward linear increase, but it's not. Here are my numbers in an excel screenshot. What do I do next? I tried dividing this and that, but none of the numbers made…

Help with Recipe Builder via App
I made a bulk cook of breakfast burritos and used the recipe builder in the app (iOS, using the most current version of the app). More specifically, I clicked to add food to my diary, then the Recipes tab, then Create a Recipe. After successfully inputting all the ingredients and saving the meal, I cannot see a way to edit…

Initial water weight loss vs. real weight loss?
My question is, how many days/weeks does it take to lose water weight? I started a deficit on May 1st and today (May 6th) I'm down 6 pounds. My deficit is only -500 calories, so I know it's water weight. I am not on a low carb/Keto/Atkins type plan (as I've heard those diets have much bigger water weight losses initially).…

New FitBit App Dashboard: Yay or Nay?
A big ole NAY for me! I miss the old user interface. I could get used to the circles, I guess, but much prefer the straight lines... It felt more like I was close to crossing a finish line when I was close to one of my goals. I also miss the fact that with the old interface, the color of the line would turn orange when I…

'How To' Help: How do you add text to pics and make collages?
I would love to know how you fabulous people are adding text to pictures, arrows to graphs, and making photo collages! (I'm posting this in "Success Stories" because this is where I see the most examples.) What app or software are you using to do that? I have an iPhone and a MacBook, so the apple ecosystem here. Please…

App Tech Question, Can You Help?
I have an mfp tech question, can anyone help me? The latest app update has given me new pop up queries that say things such as, "You haven't logged lunch yet, do you want to do that now?" It's 9 a.m., no I don't want to log my lunch. Is there a way to disable this? I've been logging since July and these pop-ups are new to…
