How To: 'Quick Add' Calories for Snacks in MyFitnessPal to Keep Yourself Accountable for Every Tiny Bite
It's only normal to snack on a few french fries every once in a while when you're on a diet, but it's still important to hold yourself accountable, even when you cheat just a little bit. MyFitnessPal, for both Android and iOS devices, has a database of nutritional information to help keep track of the meals you eat, but it also has a way to add calories on the fly without digging for data.The "Quick Add" feature in MyFitnessPal's app does exactly what its name implies; it lets you quickly add calories without too much thought or effort involved. To put it another way, you can add calories into your diary without having to search for the specific food or drink you've just consumed. Quick Add is useful for when you visit a hole-in-the-wall restaurant whose menu items won't appear in the app, as well as when you take a sip or snatch a bite of someone else's beverage or meal.Don't Miss: How & Why to Enable Negative Calorie Adjustments in MFP To access the Quick Add feature, tap on the large plus (+) sign at the bottom of MyFitnessPal. On an iPhone, it appears no matter what tab you're in, but on Android, the big plus is only visible on the "Home" tab. Next, tap "Food," then choose any of the options from the meals list. Since this article is focused on snacking, "Snacks" is a good one to select. Selecting the "Snack" option in the iOS app. Once you're on the Snacks page, if you're an iPhone user, tap "Quick Add" from the Recent or Frequent tab.

If your goal is to limit the number of unhealthy snacks you consume each day, you'll want to input more calories in the Quick Add section that you need to. If you just ate one French fry, throw in 100 calories. If you snuck a few M&Ms, 100 calories would work here too.If you have a general idea of what the calories would be, or if you can guesstimate the amount based on the full portion size, take that number and double or triple it. (You can use the search tool on the Snack screen to get approximate calorie information.) If you do know the exact calorie amount for the snack you've just eaten, in general, ramp the calorie count up by 130รข€“150 percent.For example, a single serving (roughly 18 chips) of Lay's Oven Baked Potato Chips is 120 calories. Instead of throwing in 120 under calories, multiply that number by 150%, and you get 180.Good Snacks on Amazon: Nature's Garden Assorted Nuts & Fruits Snack Mix Sampler Variety PackWhy increase the calorie count for a snack? It's an easy way to dissuade you from snacking on bad foods and unhealthy beverages throughout the day.
