I agree here. Also myfitnesspal doesn't let you easily correct things for being wrong; case in point many products list only the calories for something, and not the macros/nutrients. I often search for something as a proxy for what I made myself, so don't have the stats, but do know it doesn't have 0g protein, 0g fat, and 0g carbs.
Basically it doesn't seem to want to help you flag things to make it better. A collaborative enterprise would.
- scandinavegan 7y agoIt is possible to correct entries in MyFitnessPal, but not easily, as you say. I sometimes come across entries that are 100 times off, so someone (a user, or pulled from a database) has entered e.g. 600 kcal for 1 g when it should clearly be per 100 g. That means I can either enter having eaten 0.4 of 1 gram, or try to correct the information. But when you try to correct it, you can't just say "multiply everything by 100" or add a new 100 g option. It's only possible to divide all entered macro and micro nutrients by 100 to get to the value per 1 g, which is tedious to do while cooking dinner for the family.
- boyband6666 7y agoYep, exactly this. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to let you suggest fixes, or flag things that are clearly incorrect, even if you don't fix them yourself - especially on something i pay for!
