But if you\u2019re 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\u2019ve coached many women using the app\u2014and I\u2019ve seen how easily it can go wrong if you\u2019re 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\u2014plus how to use it the right way so it actually helps you reach your goals. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ll cover:   Why generic food entries can totally mess up your tracking   The truth about measuring by volume vs. weighing your food   Why you shouldn\u2019t let the app set your calorie and macro goals   A big red flag with the \u201ccalories burned\u201d 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\u2014if you use it correctly   Note: I\u2019m referring to the paid version of MFP in this episode.
