Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about MyFitnessPal and what they use it for.
  • Reports on myfitnesspal.com
    The reports on myfitnesspal.com seem incomplete to me. Source: 8 months ago
  • Daily calories intake
    There are plenty of online resources that can assist you. For example, myfitnesspal.com has a guided setup under "goals" that calculates the amount of calories you should consume based on your age, height/weight and level of activity. Source: 10 months ago
  • Need weight help
    It only takes a second to put your piece of chicken on a food scale and write down how much it weighs. Then it only takes a second to goto myfitnesspal.com and log it into your daily food diary. It seems overwhelming having to weigh and pay attention to everything you eat, but its actually really easy and becomes second nature over time. Source: 11 months ago
  • Day 1
    That is, of the 632 calories on Day 2, 16g were from protein, 42g from carbs, and 48g from fat. The myfitnesspal.com website makes it easy to input 'manual' foods from my respective meals, where I put in the calories, grams of fat, carbs and protein, and it calculates out the percentages / calories on a given day's diary.

  • How many calories do I need to lose or maintenence.
    Hi there, good job losing the weight you have. I recommend myfitnesspal.com. You will need your accurate height also. But you can play around with the figures to see how much of a deficit you need/what your calorie goal should be etc. Ive used it for years, there is also a massive community and food database :). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Is this a good way to lose weight?
    You can lose weight healthily just by educating yourself a bit. I mention so many times about using myfitnesspal.com but thats because it has a very knowledgable community, easy to use, has a massive database. You can steadily lose weight and still eat! Be sensible about how much weight you want to lose each week. Max 2 pounds/1kg. I lost a lot of weight using the site without starving and am still using it now.... Source: about 1 year ago
  • I need help. I can’t stay full or energized.
    If "no idea" in this case means you haven't done those things, start there. Search for a TDEE calculator and Google how to use it to figure out how much of a calorie deficit to eat. Then start tracking your food. myfitnesspal.com is a free site/app where you can do that. Once you're doing that, you can see whether you are getting enough calories, protein, fat, and fiber in your diet. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What is the best weight loss advice you can give someone?
    Go through all the things you like to eat (whether it's home cooked or fast food/restaurant bought) and list all the calories. fastfoodnutrition.org myfitnesspal.com and other sites will help you find the calories for what you like/eat. Source: about 1 year ago
  • I am 17, and over 400 pounds. Where do I start?
    I really am enjoying my weight watchers meeting - but I know that's an expensive way to go, so start with myplate.gov and myfitnesspal.com to get some good guidelines. Source: about 1 year ago
  • 24F 255
    Figure out how many calories per day you’re eating by tracking (& weighing) MyFitnessPal your food. Source: about 1 year ago
  • is there any way to see calorie information for food at eagle landing?
    You can get a ballpark for health info if you use myfitnesspal.com I find it useful for places that don't publish the info. Super useful for diabetics that have to calculate insulin/carb ratios. Source: about 1 year ago
  • HELP! M17, 6ft 2 and 130 kg
    I always suggest myfitnesspal.com. Keep track of the calories you're taking in. Weight is all about calories in/vs calories out. Source: about 1 year ago
  • How to break a weightloss plateau
    Sign up to myfitnesspal.com and input all your details and set target for weightloss at 0.5 - 1lb a week / 0.5/1kgs week (whatever is suitable). Dont go too high on the weightloss per week. I lost a lot of weight using that site (and its free!). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Hmm overeating doing 16/8
    Have a plan to follow. Build your meals on like myfitnesspal.com or their app like the night before or the day before so you could keep track of what you're consuming worth of food. Regardless, you want to be eating enough calories to sustain yourself and thats why I like using the website and app to build the days food log to see if Im overeating and stuff like that. In my experience it definitely helps to... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Help losing weight
    I use the myfitnesspal.com and their app on my phone to track my meals and see what macronutrients need to be consumed, protein is key. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Losing weight is not for me.
    I don't know what kind of diet you are on, but if it eliminates ANYTHING (carbs, grains, etc) stop right now. Unless you have a medical problem, because you're just going to give up and get fatter. Weght watchers has allowed me to eat what I want and drop 40lbs. It's slower but it works. My husband used myfitnesspal.com (free) to lose 170lbs. The word you need to focus on itsn't motivation or willpower - it's... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Starting IF again need some words of encouragement please
    You got this and you know it. Just gotta do the thing. One thing Ive heard is that if you eye fuck yourself in the mirror and do not like what you see, it will initiate change in the mind but thats just a maybe. I use the myfitnesspal.com and their app and it helps. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Staying Fit
    Everyone has opinions when it comes to dieting: no carbs/carbs, track macros, fast at these hours, etc. Literally the only thing that is solid science is consume less calories than your body needs that day. There are decent tools out there like myfitnesspal.com to track it; use it every single day. If you want to splurge, you have to earn it via exercise (the app/website accounts for this). Of course, you can... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Best strategy for weight loss through cycling?
    I also use myfitnesspal.com to track calories and such. It also link to Garmin/strava or whatever so it accounts for the amount of calories registered from you workout that day. You can select a goal for calories for the day in terms of how much weight you want to lose per a given time period. Of course all calories are not created equally. Source: over 1 year ago
  • No sugar November
    If you're not already using a fitness tracker like myfitnesspal.com to keep track of your daily nutrient intake, you might find it helpful to start using one while making this adjustment. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Activity Algorithm Different?
    I like that the watch syncs with myfitnesspal.com and even make efforts to track calories. But if I don't select an activity before starting a workout, will the heartrate and calorie burn still be the same as though I did? Does the software distinguish between "activity" and "non-activity" metrics? Source: almost 2 years ago
