Tracking Food - My Fitness Pal?



Recommended Posts

Hey All - My insurance requires I have 3 months of weight management with a dietitian. Today was my 2nd visit and she asked me to start tracking all of the food I eat. My problem is, I downloaded My Fitness pal, but I just cannot understand that site and to get full access, they want me to pay $. Does anyone else have any recommendations for tracking food on a daily basis? Thanks!!!

I also use the free version, it gets easier as you use it more. I like it, seems to work well.

I use the Free version. There is a Premium version that is not free, but the Free version is great!

My dietician wrote out the calories, and % of Protein, carbs and fats, tailored for me.

I then entered these numbers into "My Goals", and this will give you the daily grams allowed.

You find "My Goals" in the "My Home" section.

You can also make your food diary public or private.

It takes a while to set it up, mainly entering different foods, but once you have your regular food in the system, it is much easier. Then you only add any new food, and with any food change amounts, if you have less or more of it.

Yes, it is a great tracker!

And you can use either imperial or metric system, I think it is in Settings.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
