My Fitness Pal (Mfp)

[smmrsue 56]

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

BTW- I hate autocorrect and the spelling/grammar errors it creates from my phone. I apologize.

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!

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.

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

You are getting so close! I love your countdown ticker but couldn't figure out how to create one the showed days. (Yes, I am definitely technology-challenged.)

Thanks for explaining it. 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.

I have been using it for a while and Love it - i'm dionaw

[smmrsue 56]

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.

Mrs. D- I added you
