Profile switching option?
I have just signed up to MND to log my partners calories as he wants to lose weight. I use mfp and have for about 14yrs.
I really like the look of MND and ease of tracking. However, i dont want to be logging in/out between my profile and my partners, hence why i have MND for him and kept MFP for me.
I know my partner can log his own foods on his phone himself but he basically just wants to know the bare minimum ie is he eating too much in a day.. I prep most of his foods for the work day which are vastly different to what I eat. The only thing the same we eat is dinner
If an option to switch profiles could be implemented then ill make the switch to use MND myself. Would be great to know if this will ever be an option?
I use MFP to track weight, exercise (use apple watch), progress photos, etc and have had it for so long i get the barcode scanner for free (which a lot of the time doesnt work). I just hate the new update and so many inaccurate food entries…
want advice
i’m debating on getting a premium subscription so i can have everything (mainly blood sugar tracking, fasting timers, calorie logging) all in one. what are your thoughts on the premium? is it worth it?
Food Tracking App
Guys, I want to start my health journey in more organised way. Started exercising (1 hour x 5 times a week) cardio 30 minutes + light weight training 30 minutes. Plus 20 minutes freehand morning exercise.
Now, I want to intake more protein, less fat, less carb and would like to track the intakes using app for better tracking. Could anyone suggest the best app for this? I prefer a AI based scan if possible. Free app is great but don’t mind spending some as well.
Thanks in advance for the responses!
In over two years I’ve never had 1 calorie left in my budget

Logging Exercise with the new update?
Hi all, since the new update, the app isn’t recording exercise after I enter it. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a workaround?
Built a calorie tracker where you just photograph the meal — plus an agent that blocks meals when your week is trending badly
Demo above is the real app, not a mockup.
The idea: every tracker I tried wanted me to search a database, guess a portion, and log each ingredient. NutriSnap takes one photo, identifies each item separately with its own calorie/macro estimate, and shows totals, a health score and a confidence rating — then lets me correct servings before anything is committed. The model proposes, I decide.
The part I actually enjoyed building is the Wellness Agent. It treats the app's own features as callable tools and runs a Reason → Act → Observe loop over your eating history: it can plan, approve, warn, or outright block a meal, and generates a grocery list for the gaps it finds. Reproducible from the demo suite — burger against a declining week → BLOCK, salad → APPROVE, non-food image → BLOCK via guardrail.
Stack: Next.js, Gemini vision, on-device storage (works offline). The agent ships twice on purpose — a reference Python implementation and a TypeScript port so the deployed app runs it client-side with no backend.
Try it: https://nutrisnap-mocha-psi.vercel.app — mobile-first, no signup and no API key, tap a sample meal to see the full analysis.

Honest caveat: portion estimation from a single photo is inherently approximate — that's why confidence is shown and servings are editable. Happy to hear where it gets things wrong.
