![]() ![]() Premium also offers two new features called Recipe Discovery and Workout Discovery, where you can access new recipes that you can bookmark and log, and workout content put out by MyFitnessPal, which is great if you are looking for ideas and ways to mix it up. I would venture to say that most of us don’t need this feature, but it is there if you have Premium. Using Premium, you can add food timestamps to meals, if you choose, so you can track when you are eating. ![]() ![]() It is helpful to be able to program into your MFP when you will be eating macros that differ from your usual set of numbers (when instructed.) *NOTE: refeed days don’t typically apply for the average client. This is what we refer to as a refeed day here at Stay Fit Mom. Or, a coach may assign different macros to a client who is cutting on a certain day of the week. This is when this feature would be helpful. For example, a marathon runner who follows a training schedule may have days where the coach tells the client to consume more carbs than normal, due to a longer run that day. For most of us, this doesn’t apply, but it can be relevant for some clients. Your goal will not be correct in the “Nutrition” screen, so you will need to remember what your macros are that your coach assigned to you, and not go off of what MFP is telling you your macro goals are.Īnother feature of Premium only: you can set a different macro goal for a certain day (or days) of the week. You will have to ignore it when MFP tries to tell you that you are above or below your macro goal based on a specific percentage, and only look at your daily totals in grams. If you have the free version, you will have to look at your daily totals to know if you are in range or not. This is an inconvenience, as your macro goals will be set to an exact gram by your coach. So, you can only set your protein, carb and fat goal to be 25% of your day, 30%, 35%, 40%, and so on. If you have the free version, you can only set up your macro goals in 5% increments.

One of the biggest differences for macro users between Premium and the free version is that you can set up your macro goals by the exact gram if you have Premium. Ads don’t seem to bother too many people while using MFP, but if you prefer a clean screen and a more customizable experience in general, Premium is the way to go. Let’s talk about the differences between MFP Premium and the free version of MFP. You want to make sure that “Friends Only” has a checkmark next to it. To do this, go to your app and then your home screen, then more (the three dots in the bottom corner), then settings, then diary settings, then diary sharing. Second, it is important that you set up your MFP so that your coach can look at your food diary. You can save a little money if you choose to pay the annual fee one time, rather than the monthly fee. MFP costs $9.99/monthly or $49.99/annually (if you sign up on your destop instead of directly in the ap). I aim to answer all of those questions for you right here, right now! “Is it worth it to purchase the paid version of MFP? What are the differences between the two versions of MFP? Can I be successful without the paid version?” These are the questions that women often have when they first jump in with us here at Stay Fit Mom. We encourage using MyFitnessPal solely because of the large food entry data base. We have some clients that use other macro tracking apps and get through the program just fine. Your settings need to be correctly set in order to ensure that nothing on the technical side of things will keep you from hitting your macros within range, and ultimately hinder your progress.įirst of all, know that you aren’t required to use MyFitnessPal. Knowing how to navigate your MyFitnessPal account is essential to seeing success while counting macros. ![]()
