1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 MyFitnessPal is one of the most popular tracking tools out there, and I’ve been using it for years myself. But if you’re not getting the results you expect from tracking your food, this episode is for you. Free Guide: 12 High Protein Foods in Less Than 5 Minutes: https://kerstenkimura.com/proteinfoods I started using MyFitnessPal in 2015 and began tracking more accurately in 2019 when it became a huge part of my own fat loss journey. Since then, I’ve coached many women using the app—and I’ve seen how easily it can go wrong if you’re not aware of the common mistakes. In this episode, I walk you through 8 reasons why MFP might be sabotaging your weight loss, even if you think you're doing everything right. I also share why I still use the app every day and recommend it to clients—plus how to use it the right way so it actually helps you reach your goals. Here’s what we’ll cover: Why generic food entries can totally mess up your tracking The truth about measuring by volume vs. weighing your food Why you shouldn’t let the app set your calorie and macro goals A big red flag with the “calories burned” feature How to spot inaccurate barcode entries Why fiber and macros matter more than you think The right way to log homemade meals And why I still believe MFP is one of the best tools—if you use it correctly Note: I’m referring to the paid version of MFP in this episode.
