I recommend all my clients to use MFP for a number of reasons Then you’ll more than likely have found yourself on Myfitnesspal (let’s call it MFP please) at some point. Myfitnesspal is a calorie tracking app that people use to track I dunno, their calories? Some people get fancy and integrate it with their Fitbit and apple watch but you don’t need to do that.Īll you need to do is open the app, scan the barcode of the food you’re eating (or search for it), type in how much you’ve had i.e one Original Glazed Krispy Kreme Doughnut and out spits its calories and the nutritional data for you to fret over.ī – Aiming to improve your body composition (ie less fat more muscle) Because frankly, MFP does work if you learn how to use it. Myfitnesspal does work for them and they magically lose all this weight they once thought was clinging to them, like some overly attached 5 year old.Īfter all this time, I thought it was worth sharing why myfitnesspal just doesn’t work for you, and why it’s totally your fault. When clients come to me, I hear a lot of ‘calorie counting doesn’t work and Myfitnesspal is just a load of BS that wastes my time’.Īnd I absolutely agree with them – on none of it.Īnd so we go about correcting wrongs, fixing up their tracking and overtime guess what magically happens? With that, is myfitnesspal a viable choice for those that seem resistant to losing weight? Let’s dig in. Most people that need to lose weight will flick back and forth between different diets, struggling endlessly to control their intake and keep the weight off for good.
