MyFitnessPal is one of the most powerful apps for losing weight.
However, logging your food after a busy workday can feel like a chore you’d rather skip.
Here are five built-in features that will help you cut your logging time in half:
- Create a Meal: Instead of logging individual ingredients repeatedly, save a group of ingredients as a meal. MyFitnessPal will automatically log them for you in the future.
- Copy from Date: This feature allows you to easily copy and paste past entries from one day to the next, saving you the hassle of searching for, checking, and entering each ingredient again.
- Recipe Importer: Paste the link to a recipe, and MyFitnessPal will match the ingredients to those in its database, saving you from manual entry.
- Barcode Scanner: Simply scan the barcode of any food or drink item, and MyFitnessPal will retrieve its nutritional information from the database, allowing for easy logging.
- Recent, Frequent, and My Foods: Instead of searching for items you’ve logged before, use these tabs to quickly find and add foods you’ve previously entered.
While some of these features require a few minutes to set up initially, they will significantly reduce the time it takes to log your meals in the long run.
