Around half (56%) of the sample reported having used MFP. Cross-sectional data were analysed from 122 male participants ( M age = 28.4, SD = 8.93) recruited primarily through fitness-related social media sites. Thus, we aimed to estimate MFP usage and examine its association with eating disorder symptoms and psychosocial impairment in a male sample.
However, whether these associations exist additionally in a male-only sample has not been tested. Preliminary research has documented associations between MFP use and eating disorder symptoms in women with eating disorders and in undergraduate students. Although MFP has the potential to be a cheap and efficient weight-loss tool, concerns that MFP could trigger, maintain, or exacerbate eating disorder symptoms have been raised. The following is based on 1300-1400 calories recommended amount for each food group.My Fitness Pal (MFP) is a calorie-tracking smartphone application that is gaining popularity worldwide. I also include the portion and approximate calorie range in my meal names.
The mobile app on a device, such as a phone or tablet, does not have the option to change your diary settings. To change your food diary settings, log on to MyFitnessPal through a browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari). I changed the meal settings to display Fruit, Vegetables, Grains, Lean Protein, Dairy, and Healthy Oils instead of Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack. However, I missed the daily assessment of my food choices in the Live It Food Plan, so I transformed MyFitnessPal into the Live It Tracker. The MyFitnessPal App provides easy access to nutritional information that helps us make the best choices. Transform MyFitnessPal into a Live It Tracker.
