DISCLAIMER

Very new to this and maybe I'm just doing it wrong? I've seen the MFP video on finding preset meals for your specific meal plan - I've chosen the reaching your calories one. However, I've looked and can't find these meals anywhere? It has the option for me to input what I've eaten throughout the day which isn't a problem because I can still obviously track everything from there but it would have been nice to see their recommended meals.

I just started using MFP this week. Today, I made a 368 cal breakfast consisting of 2 scrambled eggs and a handful of potato quarters all cooked in 1 tbsp EVOO. MFP already tells me I've consumed too much cholesterol (340/300 mg goal). I wasn't paying attention to cholesterol but I know it's something I've had borderline elevated in the past. Am I crazy or is this goal of 300 mg just not achievable ? I don't know where the 300 mg goal comes from but if it has science backing it up, then I'm willing to make diet changes .

Can somebody help me what the perfect percentage for each macro is?

I changed my goal weight because i realized i never updated it, then it told me to eat 300 cals more than what it was before. The number is the same no matter what weight i change it too, and now when i set my goal to "maintain my weight" its also telling me 300 more. How do i fix this?

does anyone want them?

I just updated my weight and put in a new goal weight and now the app is telling me my new goal is 3030 calories per day, which can't be right. Anybody know what's going on or how to fix this?

Before enabling negative calorie adjustment I had over 100 calories remaining for today.

When I turned it on it’s saying I’m 741 cals over what I should have eaten.

If this is true MFP wants me to eat less than 1200 calories per day.

I’m 35M, 6ft, 77.2Kg. Down from 86kg over the last 2 months while I was eating 1500 cals per day. (Adjusted for exercise).

Can someone explain this? I don’t feel comfortable dropping to 1200 as I’ve just upped calories to 1700 to save some muscle as I’m weight training heavily 4 times a week and running 4 to 6 miles 3 times a week.

I want to track my breakfast and put in my weight, but this ad pops right back when I close it. Can't do anything. Is this a bug everyone has or is it a problem ob my side?

Hi Everyone,

I started running today, and I noticed that MFP might be counting my steps twice. Once for the running exercise which I tracked with Garmin, and once from the number of steps that it takes from Garmin too. Is this normal? The 10,000 steps on the screenshot also include the steps from the run this morning.

Hi Guys,

I recently got a Garmin Forerunner 255 that I use to track my steps and workouts. I know the calories estimates aren't great but it's an estimate at the end of the day. I've started tracking my food with MFP but I'm not sure what I should set my base goal too.

Should I set this to my BMR si that I account for no exercise? (approx 1500kcals) Then allow MFP to subtract exercise cals? This should be the correct balance, covering all my intake and outake?

Thanks!

I've tried restarting both apps, restarting my bluetooth, restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

Hi, I’ve recentely switched to a new iphone 16 and I now notice that some foods I’ve logged are removed from the moment I’ve added them. This makes it impossible to use the app. Has anyone else had this bug? Already reinstalled the app and rebooted my phone. IOS is updated.

The last 2 weeks or so, MFP has grabbed the wrong step counter/exercise info from my Fitbit.

Originally it was not grabbing anything at all.

Now it only grabs yesterday's steps while giving me back zero calories.

This is incredibly annoying. I've tried disconnecting both apps from each other but no solution. Is this only me?

So I started using MFP last week because I realized something has to give.

The only scale I have access to (and I have to use it clothed except shoes and hoodie) says I’m at 277 lbs. I set up MFP to help me lose 2lbs a week, and it said my goal is 2500 calories. (It said 3000 calories for two days but changes when I changed my activity level lightly active to more accurately fit my job.)

I didn’t realize the deficit was included, and I’ve been eating about 1600-1800 calories per day. Mathematically that shouldn’t be sustainable, I realize now that I know the goal includes the deficit, but I’ve felt great even with that massive deficit.

How important is it that I hit that goal?

Basically I don’t want to do 0.5 lbs of loss a week or 1lbs loss a week but rather 0.8. Can this feature be added? Thanks!!

Is there a "better" app to use for tracking cals? MyFitnessPal is the obvs one but I've seen another two in the app store with high ratings/reviews so just curious if anyone has any experience with them:

• Calorie Counter +
• UK Calorie Counter: MyNetDiary

Ideally, which is better for tracking without needing a subscription. TIA

Im a little confused with how im supposed to lose weight, i have set myself up moderately active and want to lose weight 0.8kg per week. I excercise 6 days per week.

The goal calories per day is 2080 Calories. For the past 2 months i have been manually adding 500 calories as the amount i want to loose and eating the remaining amount being 1600 calories.

Is this correct? My daily in take of calories is around 1700, the goal calories is 2080.

I started MFP about 2 weeks ago. I am 40/F, 5’6” and starting weight is 188lbs. I have a sedentary job and do not currently work out. I put all of this info in when registering and it spit out I can have 1650 calories per day to lose 1 lb per week. I came from Weight Watchers so I really didn’t think too much about it. But today I started researching and playing around with TDEE calculators and other apps and all of them say I should have about 1350 calories per day. I double checked my weight and goal settings with MFP and everything is entered correctly. Anybody know why it’s giving me so many more calories?

I hope this bug gets resolved soon cause it's really annoying.

My steps from my Fitbit are put in my diary from my total the day before and now I'm getting no calorie adjustment from it. I tried re syncing the accounts and that didn't help.

Any help with this?

did calculations change, recently? my budget yesterday was 1690, now its 2010. i didn't adjust my goals, and i even made sure my weight is correct.
