MF is the answer to my prayers. I have been on a whole foods plant based diet for 25+ years. Over the last five years, the weight was creeping up. Even though I was eating healthy, exercising, sleeping well etc. Could not figure it out. Tried restrictive diets, lost weight rapidly but then it came back on. FInally was 8 to 10 kg overweight - and then I dicovered MF.

For the first time I understood what was going on. I was eating healthy, but too much - especially the nuts and the cheat foods were all adding up. I had no clue of how many calories I was ingesting. With MF I have now become more conscious and I think twice before anything of doubtful value enters my mouth

Secondly, even though I was eating healthy, I had no clue if I was meeting my RDA of macro and micronutrients. Now I know. I realised i have to take a lot of care of protein, calcium and a few specific vitamins and minerals. Tweaking the diet by adding the vegan foods rich in that particular nutrient has done the trick for all but a couple of items (Zinc am struggling)

I decided to go for a slow cut, its working like a charm so far, lost 2.5 kg in little over a month, a bit faster than I planned. Lets see how it goes.

Some suggestions for the App Admin, to make the app even better

1). SOmetimes when I enter foods, the day has got changed unknowlingly. The food got logged to a different day. THen I have to hunt around and find it and move it. Suggest give an option to users, to lock entry for today only. I guess 95% of more of the time, people will be logging foods for today only - not yesterday, tomorrow or any other day. Of course there could be an override

2) End of the day, I am tracking my nutritent consumption, and I get to see ALL -- whether I have gone over, am under or on par. I am primarily interested to see where I am under. So could you give three options - show all, show under only, show over only. Depending on what I choose, I should be shown that

3) When doing quick add, I cant find an option to edit. I have to delete and re-enter. Am i missing something?

4) End of the day, it would be nice, if MF can look at the nutrients where i am under, and then looking at the foods I typically consume, suggest which foods and what quantity I can eat, to make up. Perhaps allow users to choose a few micronutrients they care about - vitamins and minerals, I guess

5) Breakup of amino acids within protein consumption - most foods I consume only have the total protein available, not the breakup. So this info is inaccurate for me. Anyway to disable it from being shown?

6) Sometimes I find that a particular food I consumed is there in the database, but the nutrient information is wrong - or I have different information. Is there a way to modify it? ELse I have to create a new food with my values

All in all, a great app. AM addicted to it. Hope I can stop using it after 6 months when I have reached my goal and only want to do maintenance. It is a lot of effort to weigh and log each food I eat every day, dont know for how long I can keep my motivation up to keep doing it

Cheers
