MyFitnessPal Meal Suggestions

March 11, 2015, 1:18 pm

Sorry if this suggestion exists somewhere else but it I didn't see it.

It would be really helpful if MyFitnessPal gave me great meal recommendations, based on my taste, on how to use my calories per meal and subsequently per day. For example, I have 800 calories remaining for dinner tonight and I would love if MyFitnessPal gave me some dinner ideas under 800 calories.

Further, if MyFitnessPal gave me an exercise tip along with my meal recommendaion to be able to add more calories to a meal e.g. "If you ran for 30 minutes, instead of a hamburger, you could have a cheeseburger and still be within your calories."

Thanks--big fan of the app!

right now the app doesnt allow to share a meal or a diary entry. When i cook with my girlfriend we both have to individually scan and enter meals. Considering we eat the same thing its really annoying that there is no share function

Does anyone know if there is a special trick to posting a blog? I've been trying to and nothing.

I've emailed the website but still waiting.

Hi, As of now I am taking 900 calories daily. However as per Fitnesspal it should be 1200. While making entries I am not able to make entry. It always keep asking I have to add more. Please look into this.

Hi. My macros change throughout the week when I am carb cycling. Is there only one set of macros you can input or is there a way to change them daily without having to go into the settings and change them manually each time?

Since the update last night my diary does not display any thing just "0"'s across the top. The home page shows the number of calories left but I like the diary which displayed a list of the foods as you added them with the number of calories you had left for the day. It shows on the diary when I log in on the computer, but not in the iPhone My Fitness Pal. Will there be a fix coming out for this? Please

Improve data entry

≪ Previous: iPhone App - recent update

Let me begin by saying that I think Myfitnesspal is the greatest thing since peanut butter. In the 8 weeks that I've used it, I've lost 10 pounds. I convinced my wife to try it and in about 5 weeks she, too, has lost about 10 pounds. For us, the principal attraction and benefit is that it has induced portion control and the ability to monitor calorie usage through exercise. We are dieting, not by prohibiting ourselves from eating any of the foods we enjoy, but rather limiting the volumes.
I think the greatest limitation of the program is the awkwardness of data entry. I love the ability to scan barcodes and the storage of food items in the various lists. But for me, the constant scrolling necessary to find the items discourages use and I frequently, when rushing through daily activities, forget to enter the Latte I picked up on the way to somewhere, or the bowl of oatmeal that I had at breakfast.
My suggestion would be adding the option of having the app open to a screen similar to the classic Windows desktop screen, populated with icons (ie links) chosen (or created) by the user and representing the users most commonly entered food and drink items. That would allow data entry with one hand and only two or three taps. It would mean, for example, that someone who stops every morning on the way to work for a Starbuck's and a bagel would simply tap on the program's icon followed by a tap on their "Star/bagel" icon, and have the data go straight to the daily calorie count. If they always stop at the gym for an hour of lifting on the way home, they could add an icon for that as well.
I believe one of the most powerful ways to create change is by collecting data. The easier it is to do this, the more likely the success.

I know there is a menu called 'My Discussions' but sometimes I want to see the latest updates to threads I've commented on previously without having to look for the threads marked in yellow in all the different forums. It would be good if there was a section called 'Threads I've been following' for this purpose.

In addition, if there are updates to threads I've posted in in groups I'm a member of these don't appear in 'My discussions' either, so again it would be helpful if there was a place for these to be viewed quickly.

It can be really time consuming to look through each forum top and then scroll down the page to find threads marked in yellow when some of them I only briefly viewed and didn't comment on and the same with groups as I am a member of several of them.

I think it would be amazing is in the activity setting you had a breastfeeding option. I am breastfeeding and had to choose extremely active to get the calorie setting I needed.

Alright, I was instantly excited to see that the new Apple watch will be a body movement tracker, heart monitor, etc.

Is My Fitness Pal going to get an app ready for this product soon?

Ability to amend existing entries

≫ Next: Fiber adjustment

≪ Previous: iOS Feedback

Hi,

I've been using MFP for a little under 2 weeks now and as an app I'm very impressed with it. However there is one very frustrating thing I keep noticing and that is the incorrect nutritional values for products. Is there any way to amend products already existing in the system without having to recreate the same product a second time albeit with the correct values? For me to realistically keep on using the app this is a must have, its frustrating seeing your daily goal levels so low when you know you can't have been too far off. #firstworldproblems

Thanks in advance to anyone for their help.

recently, a foodie advised that a true calculation of carb intake results from carbs - fiber = actual carb intake. Is this true and should this app also add a true carb calculation? Thanks

Multiple Issues - MFP Desk.COM is unusable and Missing Meal(s)

≫ Next: "You should lose" is wrong?

≪ Previous: Fiber adjustment

1. I have tried creating support tickets on the new Desk, but I cannot post anything new to them. I post a problem, a rep asks a question, I cannot post an answer to it. Whenever I try to post an answer to my open case, I get a web page "Sorry, there was an error with this request. The Desk.Com support staff have been notified of this error". So, they set my case as resolved?!?!

2. So, the annoying thing is my problem is pretty self explanatory. It doesn't take much searching on mfp forums to realize it seems to be an ongoing issue with MFP and asking me questions about my browser or OS seems to be a huge waste of time when, in comparison, you can probably look at the database and confirm my issue.........

3. My issue is a saved meal went missing. The name of the meal is "Snack List", it is a list of my favorite go-to items that I load and choose from when building my day. It is a huge list and takes hours to build it and I don't want to build it again. I tried deleting some older versions of the list to see if having a shorter list of meals would bring back from page 2 or something, but that didn't work.

PLEASE PUT MY MEAL BACK

i have noticed that on my page as well as a few others that the pounds lost on the profile, and where it tells me my pounds lost and log in streak, is incorrect. I have lost 13 pounds but it says 1.3 pounds lost. It would be great if that could be fixed.
