DISCLAIMER

I can’t get my exercises from my Apple Watch to show up on MFP? HealthKit is sharing everything read/write and MFP is also fully Read/Write.

What can I do to fix it?

MFP tells me that my maintenance calories are at 2720 kcal a day at 94kg 184cm 29yo and the lowest activity Level. What gives?

Why does it have negative grams for polyunsaturated fat?

For some reason I had play store in Qatar idk how (I am not from there nor been there) I changed back to my home country (Montenegro, yes I added payment method) and still it's says not avalabile on you region when online it is supported? Btw I did change to US somehow still same case? Anyone have a clue?

I've been using MFP for over ten years. And while I like the Galaxy watch, I feel like constantly messes up my step count and exercises.

I had older, original Fitbit back between 2015-2019 and liked it, but I went through like 4 of them (stop charging usually).

Since the only reason I truly have a watch is mainly because of MFP, I wanted to hear what others had to say.

It says it's connected. I tried to disconnect and then reconnect.

Hi. I've just received my Fitbit Charge 6 moving from a 2018 garmin vivosport. Steps and calorie adjustment are not syncing like they did with Garmin. I have gone into settings and chosen Fitbit as the Steps provider.

I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the accounts. I've also made sure that Garmin is disconnected. It is showing the Garmin steps and calorie adjustment form earlier in the day but nothing from Fitbit.

Any advice?

This is all I see in the dashboard. I'm 84 kg starting weight and 178 cm tall. I set to loose 1kg per week in the app. Not desirable I know.

But mfp is showing only 1500kcal budget. Online calculators show my tdee based on weight and weight and age to be 1950kcals a day. So 1500kcal a day only looses 0.5kg in a week.

Am I missing something or is the app buggy?

I'm having to log in every 3rd or 4th time I use the app? Is anyone else having this issue?

Also as a secondary, how do you record your sleep on MFP?

I'm 18 years old, around 5'8, I weigh 220 pounds low activity, and I'm wanting to lose 60 pounds within the course of 5 months, I've resorted for the past two weeks with a 1000 calorie intake daily, while "burning 2750 calories a day". Which im not sure of since I have been doing this workout routine to try to burn it, without knowing if it is exactly 2750.

Bedtime routine

stretching, massage, yoga for recovery.

37M, 226 pounds. 6'0 tall. Maintenance Electrician.

I'm not sure what activiy level I should select. Im an electrician, but I'm not in construction. I work in a hospital as a maintenance electrician. Nothing physically exhausting. It's mostly changing light bulbs. I do go up and down ladders, I push around a tool cart and I want 6-12,000 steps a day. On weekends I do way less walking.

I would like to lose 2 pounds a week. Right now if I pick not active it's coming up as 1780 calories or lighty active it's 2170. It's been 4 weeks of using the lighhtly active and I lost 10 pounds but the last week I'm still the same weight I'm wondering if I need to eat less. I don't know if I should ignore the week to week loss? 1780 calories seems like so little food. 😂

I’ve been on Zepbound for 11 months but lost insurance coverage. Fortunately I reached my goal weight. Now going to start using FitnessPal to help keep my weight off. I used it in the past to some degree of success.

As text implies everytime I try to use the meal scan it gets stuck in a constant loading screen after I take the photo and I’m not sure why. I’ve tried to fix it by uninstalling the app and trying again but I’m still having the same issue anyone know a fix??

I signed on to this app using an email that I no longer will have access to. It is not allowing me to change the sign-in email address to the new one. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Hello, Myfitnesspal community!

I recently signed up for MyFitnessPal again to track my macros.

I want to enter meals I make while meal prepping to get the macro breakdown of each of them.

Is it possible to enter my daily breakfast as a created meal (One cup of rolled oats, Two tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut) and find its total weight of 460gs after being cooked. Then, when I eat breakfast, I weigh out 220 grams of this meal and find its macro breakdown.

It seems that all I can do is enter the serving size (e.g., 1/2, 1, etc.), which is not at all what I want to do. I want to weigh my food.

What if I make a huge pot of mashed potatoes, but I don't know how many servings it will be because my wife will have some, and I will have some, but she eats way less than I do. Hopefully, someone knows how to do this because it's kind of frustrating.

If I weighed 230 on January 1st and weighed 225 right now and started using the app today, what should I put as my start date on the app?

I fast from 6pm to 10am (roughly) and whenever I hit the “stop fast” button it ALWAYS says I’ve already logged a fast BUT I HAVENT?!?!?! It’s so frustrating. How do I fix this!

Hey so I’ve been on a deficit for a little while now and originally my deficit was 1880 calories per day. I open the app today and it changed to like 1670 or something and then I go to my settings and it said my goals had changed from losing 1.5lbs/week to 2lbs/week. So I changed it back to 1.5lbs/week and now it’s saying is 1,920 calories per day.

How and why is this happening and what do I even listen to at this point?

i’ve tried everything from logging in to make new accounts and it’s not working is driving me insane. are there any other apps as good as this one?

Soo I’ve been using mfp for a month now and have lost 10 pounds. In addition to this, I’ve also added two workouts a day to my plan. (I know this may sound like a lot but I’m doing 75hard. It’s not for the long term). I set mfp to have me lose two pounds a week and considering my height and weight it put me at 1200 calories. I’ve been able to keep this up just fine, as well as my workouts. My question is: I just connected my Strava account to mfp and after my run today, mfp said I burned 580 calories, and could eat that much more today. If I eat this much more, will it slow my weight loss down? Or potentially speed it up? (I’m thinking maybe I haven’t been eating enough to keep my metabolism up?? Or is 1200 enough whether I workout or not?)

Can’t Connect Apple Watch

I’m having trouble connecting my Apple Watch 9 to MyFitnessPal app.

I go to the Health App in MyfitnessPal to give it permission and it says “Select MyFitnessPal from Applications List to enable or disable sharing permissions”, but I never get the option to do so. It has all the dietary items checked in green like they have permission, but I don’t have a watch connected to it and I can’t figure out how to get it to connect..

Any ideas would be great!

walked a lot yesterday + did a short workout, my apple watch says i burned 800 active calories.

MFP doesn’t capture this. is it okay for me to just manually input the 800 from my apple watch, or would i be doing something wrong/skewing my calorie output? thanks!

I’ve tracked and used MFP for almost 1000 days. I am so motivated not only by the healthy habits MFP has helped me develop but also by maintaining my streak, and this app has overall been excellent. I’ve never had issues or complaints with it.

Within the last month or so, though, the lag and the slow loading has been insane. Opening the app takes on average 30 seconds to log in and open. Switching between menus similarly takes forever. It is so sluggish and buggy and it is incredibly frustrating to deal with.

Any one else experiencing this? Any idea why? Or how to fix this?

I eat 2 cups of rice a day, I measure it before I cook, is this 4po cal or 1400 calories, I'm confused af

After you've created a recipe on mfp, how do you analyse each and every ingredient that you've added?

When I add a previous recipe into my diary I can't seem to see each ingredient to check the macros or to remove a specific ingredient that I may not be including. Does anyone know if it's possible to do?
