MFP has a number of built in features to make food logging easier too, such as a barcode scanner for packaged/processed food, a large database (which you can add to, if something isn't in it already), and the ability to save recipes and meals of your own for very fast recall. This saves you from having to manually enter a lot of data, and MFP also processes data automatically, for example deducting calories consumed from food, adding calories burned during exercise. MFP has become the "hub" for a number of different eco-systems, linking fitness trackers like Fitbit and Garmin, smart scales like the Withings/Nokia, and to "health kits" like those developed by Apple, Samsung, and Google. MFP was first set up as a website but with the rise of smartphones is perhaps most often accessed as a mobile app for a number of different platforms.


What we can try to offer here is assistance with how the MFP platform can be used, in support of your goals. We are not healthcare professionals and you should speak with your healthcare team about nutrition and exercise goals and concerns. Review the subreddit rules here before posting DISCLAIMER This community is geared to discussions about the MyFitnessPal (MFP for short) platform, including the app for Android and iOS and website. In the meantime, we'll collect data here. This sidebar will likely evolve and some material move to a larger FAQ/Wiki entry about this sub.
