Are you tracking the travel sweets you have in the car?.

Just grit your teeth and for one day really drill down and ask yourself if there is ANYTHING you’re missing off. Yes, it’s a pain to do, but you only have to do it properly once and then you can copy the meal across and you’re getting a more accurate picture. It’s very common to see MFP users tracking the cereal they had for breakfast, but not tracking the milk. Track it! MISTAKE #2 – LEAVING THINGS OUT It’s great if they can see you have done your diary and you’re under your calorie goal, but unless you’re prepared to show us behind the curtain so we can sanity check the fact that you didn’t just have one pint then you’re cheating yourself. If you need to register anonymously then do so, but don’t hide your light foods under a bushel. Change your privacy settings so people can see what you’re eating and drinking. Hopefully, if you’re reading this, you’ve bought into the ideology of MAN v FAT as a community, and the MFP forums are no different.

If that sounds harsh, it’s not to suggest that you are deliberately sabotaging your own weight loss efforts, but more simply that MFP makes it very easy for the user to make mistakes by misinterpreting the data it requires and provides. To try and help you use it in the most productive way possible MAN v FAT has engaged our think tank to come up with a list of the most commonly made MFP mistakes so we can all avoid them or fix them.

In return you get some custom graphs and infographics that vary from useful to WTF. Unfortunately, if you’re using MyFitnessPal and you aren’t seeing positive results in your weight loss, the bottom line – nay, the fact – is that you as the user, whether consciously or unconsciously, are not being entirely truthful with the data you are submitting to it – either by deceit or by omission. MyFitnessPal, if you’re not familiar with it, allows you to log calorie intake and exercise and to set goals. If you’re a MyFitnessPal devotee, make sure you don’t fall victim to these ways you’re doing MyFitnessPal wrong. It’s one of, if not the, most popular tools for weight loss around, making calorie counting a breeze with its snazzy app and fancy barcode scanner.
