One of the most common things you’ll see is that foods will have the calories and the macros but all the other information is missing (ie. What you may not know is that anyone can enter food into MyFitnessPal so there are a lot of errors and incomplete entries. The next time you have that meal you’ll be able to find it really quickly under the Meal tab. From there you’ll be able to “Save As Meal” and name it. All you do is load everything in your diary as per normal and then hit those three little dots again. MyFitnessPal has two options to save your meals – you can create recipes or save meals. Even if you don’t get the calories perfectly right it’s still better to guess and enter something rather than enter nothing at all. If you are more advanced you may be able to enter an approximate amount of calories if you don’t have the exact calories. Some restaurants list the calories on their menus which means you can just “quickly add” them using this feature. Quick Add is also a good feature if you are eating out and know the calories of the meal or can estimate them. You’ll be given the total calories for those meals and in that case I would just use Quick Add rather than try to break down each individual ingredient when entering into your diary. Quick Add is useful if you subscribe to food delivery services – like the meal kits with recipes for the entire week or fitness meals that are done for you. In the same place you find Copy From Date, you’ll find something that says “Quick Add.” This is a useful feature when you know the calories of a full meal but you don’t want to enter in each individual ingredient. This is how I do most of my entries and it makes entering into my diary super fast. Again this is a really convenient feature if you are someone who regularly eats the same meals. Simply select the date and meal you want to copy and you can very quickly fill up your diary. If you select the three little dots when you go to enter a meal you are going to see the option to “Copy From Date.” For example, I eat the same breakfast pretty much everyday so I simply swipe it in every time I complete my diary.Ĭopy From Date is another quick and smart feature similar to the swipe. This is a great feature if you are someone who often eats the same food regularly for a certain meal.
When you log into a brand new day on MyFitnessPal, you are going to see something that says “Add Yesterday’s Meal” and all you do is swipe across your screen to add the meal from the following day.
This is a follow on video from another I filmed showing how to set up your calories and macros and customize your goals. In this video I give you six quick tips to make entering food into MyFitnessPal faster and easier.
