I log my exercise because I need to see how many times per week/how many cals I burn per week from exercising. It is very encouraging to see how far I've come in terms of fitness/activity. I love it

But I ignore the extra calories they add.

I am an avid user of MFP.

The biggest issues with MFP are:

1. The daily caloric goals aren't realistic for WLS patients. When i set the daily limits to the numbers recommended by my dietitian, it tells me that I am taking in too few calories and i need to increase my calories. It always shows that I am over my daily limits for Protein and always under for carbs. Have parameters set to dietitian or doctor recommended general levels based on type of WLS.

2. Need better exercise values and categories. I believe strongly that calories burned from exercise are always way too high in MFP so I always take the numbers with a grain of salt. I use them as guidelines, not reality of calories burned.

Thanks for asking our opinion.

This is great news! I would love to see better trackers for carbs and nutrients. Also more categories for exercise. MFP doesn't recognize mini trampoline which many of us have to use to get started with exercise at home.
