The implication is that it's a gamble, if you're lucky you'll be keeping a more or less accurate track of what you're consuming, if you aren't lucky then there's no value here over just reading the packages each time you make a meal. The reason this is the case is that the caloric values of foods are added or captured into the DB by the community and, saliently, not verified by the provider. The database is unverified, there are many versions and iterations of the same foods in the DB and they tend to reflect different caloric value for the same food. That, in principle is valuable and so worth money, we can get into how much another time. You eat, keep track of what you're eating, keep track of your exercise or energy expended and manage your body weight accordingly. They run a Database of foods and the corresponding caloric and nutrient values and plug into exercise services (Like Garmin and Strava) for access to energy expenditure data. The basic premise behind the site is sound. Not sure what your selling here but I am not coming back and others will follow. The Premium APP did nothing more than give me recipes and exercise ideas which I did not need. I stayed on and lost my weight (only 15 lbs) I need two knee replacements and have difficulty walking so my time is valuable and I am not looking up every food. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is because it used to be easy and quick but now its not very friendly. I will find something else that works with my Garmin. Every click feels like pushy sales for PREMIUM.

I tried really hard to work around all the things they were changing and today I tried to get on and scan a food but now you have to pay for Premium.

That same page has words piled on top of words which made it hard to read. I have a handicap and will never reach 10,000 so it reminds me of the health issues I have. They came up with the page that showed how I could set my step goals, etc but the main page always shows 10,000.

They made changes to it earlier this year that made it difficult to set goals. I have had the MyFitnessPal app for years.
