Got these for Christmas and still haven’t had to charge them

I've never seen such a setting ... I didn't know it sent reminders for weight updates.

Our bodies are not mostly composed of fat, they're mostly composed of water. Therefore, most of the weight changes we see from day to day are water changes, not fat changes.

Use a weight-smoothing app called Libra (for Android) or Happy Scale (for iPhone).

One of these apps will help you see the trends better with less of the volatile influence of water.

You can use the time-averaged weight from these apps to keep MFP updated.

Update: I downloaded 6.20 version APK-file, installed it. After that I took auto-update off from Google Play and now I have to old layout back.

Others already identified why MFP is bad at weight predictions: it's basing the 5-week estimate on only today's weight and calories, ignoring past trends.

If you want more accurate predictions, try the Libra app for Android, or Happy Scale for iOS. They create weight trends based on past weigh-ins alone, not calories.

I have this scale and it’s great so far, syncs up to my Apple health and MFP automatically and gives some interesting trend graphs and figures. Also doesn’t break the bank cost wise.

If you use the web version of MFP, there's a browser script that adds net carb tracking: https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript

Alternately, on Android, there's an app called Carb Manager.

Per the sidebar:

Weight Projections in MFP

One area MFP falls down hard is weight predictions. This is because the MFP "you'll weight this much in 5-weeks" estimate is only based on your weight today and net calories today.

Better options for weight monitoring (gain, loss, or maintenance) are the Libra Weight Manager for Android or Happy Scale for iOS. These apps ignore food and exercise and only use weight trends.

TL;DR: MFP's weight projections are complete fiction based on garbage data. Use another app for tracking weight trends.

I would figure out your BMR to see how many calories you take to just live.

Here is a calculator that uses the Harris-Benedict equation. If you hit “advanced mode” it lets you add in your activity level to determine your maintenance calories.

With your height and weight, I think it says around 2,000 is maintenance level.

It also says "in-app purchases between 5.50€ and 185€".

Don't know where you are, but scales are cheap (about $25US). You can sync these to the MFP app.

I use an Aria scale which is a little more expensive, but this Elekcity scale at Amazon is a best seller at amazon.com.

there's nothing to calibrate, it's silver, analog and round. can't do anything with it. i once left it as deep as i could into something i cooked and the temp wasn't even half of what the meat was supposed to be after cooking. and the meat was cooked, so it's not that. it looks like this: https://www.amazon.de/TFA-Dostmann-14-1002-60-90-Braten-Thermometer/dp/B0015QCCWW/ref=asc_df_B0015QCCWW/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=222525042716&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10254471702382289078&hvpone=&hvptwo=&amp...

I also weigh all of my food, including spices and seasonings. My kitchen scale also does not measure under 1 gram, so I use my weed scale since it measures amounts under 1 gram. You can pick one up at any headshop or online if you don't have one. They're pocket sized and digital. This is the one I have.

Body weight fluctuates constantly- not just daily but as you've noticed over the course of a day too. For that reason consistency is all the really matters.

Personally I wake, pee, weigh, every day.

But again, because daily weight can fluctuate by as much as a few pounds I look at my 7 day/weekly average as a truer body weight and not what I weigh on any given particular day.

Tip: I keep a spreadsheet with my weigh ins and calculate a running 7 day average BUT there are apps that will do this for you. For iOS there's Happy Scale and for Android there is Libra.

I use a Fitbit not MS Band, but the option to enable negative calorie adjustments is still showing for me:

Settings > Diary Settings > Enable Negative Adjustments

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

I currently have it disabled though, so can't speak for whether that functionality is actually working.

On the mobile app, if you click on the item in your diary, you'll see the breakdown that you're looking for.

On the website, you need to look up the item again anew to see the nutritional breakdown, or you can go to Food > Database and look it up there. Both methods are equally weird. But on the website, you can also choose what nutrient columns to display http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings and chose the ones you want.

I am also interested in that. I use Heatlh Sync to sync everything from Garmin to Google Fit.

I created a feature request to add exactly that case but got the response from the developer that they never get any answer or reaction from MFP when they asked for API access.

> older versions of Android apps

From: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&page=1&s=myfitnesspal

It's interesting that the latest version of the MyFitnessPal apk is "Calorie Counter - MyFitnessPal 18.9.1 by MyFitnessPal, Inc. dated September 13, 2018", about the time when my blue (I mean white) screen of death showed up.

I'll uninstall the update and try reinstalling the August 28 or earlier versions.

I'll report back what happens.

I know this is the MFP subreddit, but you may want to give Cronometer a try. I think it breaks things down in a way that's easier to understand when using a fitness tracker.

If you end up going that way, set your activity level to "none," connect your Apple Health data, and eat however much Cronometer tells you to. Cronometer does this based off your BMR rather than your TDEE, making it very accurate in my experience.

I posted this link last night...it is what it is about.

https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105957

I would not be at all surprised if one day it was announced that MFP had been sold to Facebook or Google.

According to this, something definitely went wrong.

Late reply but I was also curious since seeing this post, I found this one that's really basic on calories consumed and weight tracking

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funnmedia.calory

I've been using this one for a few years.

Paid personal VPN (Mullvad). Never use desktop version since it never seems to sync or “remember” my recent foods. Not the end of the world, just another annoyance (like not having the option to set the food diary as the starting screen—their blog is trash). Thanks, though.

£11, I've got this one it's great

There are plenty on Amazon or Walmart in the $10-$15 range. I would get a digital one that holds at least 11 lbs., is easy to tare, and switch between grams, ounces and pounds. This one is random one that looks decent and it only $11.10 after coupon if you have Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-ZK14-S-Digital-Multifunction-Kitchen/dp/B004164SRA

I recently bought this one from Amazon to upgrade from the food scale I was using. I love it.

Accuweight 207 Digital Kitchen Multifunction Food Scale for Cooking with Large Back-lit LCD Display,Easy to Clean with Precision Measuring,Tempered Glass (Silver)

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C465Y8U/

$16.99 and there is also a coupon for 5% off.

I have a 5.5kg scale that has a 2g resolution.

I am sure that there are larger scales, but the resolution starts to drop, unless you feel like adding cost.

Thanks for your insightful reply, I guess I am having trouble understanding the math to weight loss.

through my research I read online that you have to actually burn 7,000 Calories to lose 1 lb, (idk if this is true or not) so my first week goal was to burn 3,500 Cal.

but the week I just finished I ended at a rough estimate of 7,238 burned calories for the week, it feels good to workout this much and I do it every morning for about 80-90 minutes, I know my cardio machines calorie calculations are probably not very accurate but I use them to have something to log, with the thought in mind that if they are not correct then it is hopefully not too far off from the actual numbers.

I always start with a warm up on low tension and switch to higher tensions and speed up back and forth for the entire 80-90 minutes for a HIIT type exercise.

The machine I have is a ADVENOR exercise bike I bought on amazon for about $180, the bike has 2 resistance bands that I am starting to use during my 80-90 minute exercise on and off in between the routine while also continuing to cycle.

Happy Scale is an iOS app (Libra is the Android counterpart) that has one function: more accurate weight loss predictions than MFP.

I recently purchased a Renpho scale. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1UX8RW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It syncs with my health app in my iphone- which I have synced with myfitnesspal app. It automatically updates myfitnesspal when I weigh in. It's easy to use and also measures water weight, fat etc. Plus it's a really reasonably priced scale!

Get this.

Its pretty much a necessity to counting calories.

I used to use this: Dymatize Iso-100 It tastes great and you can thicken it up or water it down. Either way, it worked out pretty well for me.

I just switched to this: Isopure Low Carb A serving is two scoops, but I just do one scoop, I add half a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter, ice & water and it is perfect! Never thick, unless you beef it up to be, using water may help that out as well.

Hope this helps!

If you want to switch to a calorie counter that is focused on weekly goals, I built an app for this very purpose, its called Poundaweek and you can get it for Android phones HERE
