smmrsue 56 Posted March 12, 2012 I know many of us use MFP. If you would like to add me my name is the same as here, smmrsue. Just be kind... I am honest, if I faulted and have McDonalds it gets logged. It has helped me to pass by drive-thrus and many an occasion. I hope we can get a Springers MFP group going! Plus, I love seeing what everyone is eating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smmrsue 56 Posted March 12, 2012 BTW- I hate autocorrect and the spelling/grammar errors it creates from my phone. I apologize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpiolady 83 Posted March 12, 2012 Ok you'll have to explain "MFP" and as far as auto correct... OMG I hate that on my phone! I text clients and get things all screwed up but it's a handy excuse when I misspell words! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smmrsue 56 Posted March 12, 2012 MFP is My Fitness Pal. It's available via both smartphone and Internet. It logs all of your calories, exercises, goals, and you can even scan barcodes with your phone. It also has a handy tool that breaks down what you are eating in pie chart form (I.e. Carbs, Protein, fats, veggies, etc). If you have friends you can see each others meals and calories and encourage each other. I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smmrsue 56 Posted March 12, 2012 Brokenwings- you can start by doing it online, once you get the smart phone app, it will sync no matter where you do it. You don't have to add friends until after vacation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen it and FitBit mentioned at LBT. Do you think the calories are accurate? I am asking only because I saw someone post somewhere else that they think the calories in foods are listed too low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smmrsue 56 Posted March 13, 2012 So far the calories have been very accurate for what I've been doing. If there is a choice between the same item, I always go with the higher calories. Also, there is a way for someone to input their own item with calories, but you can tell because it will say unverified in the nutrition section of that item. So, I never choose those, unless I create my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
