Who out there uses myfitnesspal? I do, I get my clients using it too as it is easy for me to check in with them and what they are eating. It has its shortcomings but overall its pretty awesome, especially because a lot of the time if you eat out (because restaurants post their calories and macros) you can find what you have eaten. 2 quick points though. 1 - Just because you have found it in there doesnt mean it is right or contains the right splits. Double check what you are inputting. Sometimes people only put in the calories and not what the make up of those calories is. 2 - DO NOT PUT YOUR EXERCISE IN TO MFP. This is what a lot of people do unfortunately. Now this is bad for two reasons. If you are trying to lose weight you need to hit a level of calories along with exercise that sees you drop fat. NOT going to the gym allows me to eat another 500 more. Fat loss wont work like that I am afraid. Furthermore MFP will not give you an accurate reading on what you are actually burning at all. It is all governed by heart rate as to you calories burnt (mainly) so I wouldnt trust what it is saying as there are many variables at play, not just the type of exercise. Again its a great tool to be using but just be aware.
