My Fitness Pal Help



Recommended Posts

Anyone using My Fitness Pal app to track know how to do Net Carbs? It keeps telling me everytime I eat a Quest bar that I've gone over my carb goal as I have it set at 30g carbs per day, but I'm wanting to track net carbs instead of total. Anyone know?

I just did a google search for your topic and found this - http://eatfatlosefatblog.com/how-to-configure-myfitnesspal-for-a-low-carb-or-ketogenic-diet/ - it looks pretty good.

Good luck and let us know if it works :)

What % should be Protein, carbs and fats? Do you know? I'm confuse about that

Thank you! Unfortunately some of the settings in there require you to upgrade to premium @@zonetracy

@@foodfighter78 I do 65% Protein, 20% fat, and 15% carbs but my NUT helped me set them up for what works for me. Basically as long as I get my Protein over 60G a day and carbs under 30G then she is happy

Lots of foods in the myfitnesspal database have a "net carbs" version that you can enter. If you search in the foods database for something like "quest double chocolate chunk net carbs" you'll usually find that someone has entered in a net carbs version and you can use that for your entry.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
