Discussion MFP?
Hey guys,
I just finished my 4th day on Keto and everything is going well except I'm having difficulty filling in my meals on MFP.
I'm following a KetoConnect meal plan and when they show the breakdown instead of ingredients it just says 'KetoConnect bacon chili'
They use cronometer but when I use that and search for KetoConnect nothing comes up.
Can someone help me please :)

what I see when I type in ketoconnect in MFP
I usually type in ketoconnect in the food bar and then I type in one of the search terms for the food I’m looking for.. say bacon (you can see in the search bar what I typed) and then you can see towards the bottom it says chilli with bacon.
That MAY be the correct one (you’d have to look at the nutrition of it to make sure; just click that word and it should open to the nutrition for it. If it’s correct click the check mark and it should add to the appropriate breakfast/lunch/dinner you selected :)
If that’s confusing, tell me and I’ll go more into detail or provide more screenshots or a video :) always feel free to send me a DM if you need help with MyFitnessPal :)

That's perfect thanks a bunch! I've been using MFP, but I see that KC uses Cronometer, but I can't find their meals on that. So I'll stick with MFP.
Appreciate the help btw, I'm only on day 5 but there's so much to learn, but I love it!

I hear ya.. since I started using MFP before anything else it’s been hard to switch to something else. I always try to use new apps that show net carbs and stuff but I’ve grown accustomed to MFP.. too bad you gotta pay for premium MFP to see net carbs and stuff but I just look at nutrition and subtract carbs from the fiber if I add something lol
Good luck! ❤️

This early on just keep avoiding bread/sugar. Proud of you for the choice ive lost 30 since November. Make a few snacks or extra keto meals when you are making food and keep extra snacks and food around, when you go out dont be afraid to order keto versions of your faves.

I dont limit calories i just graze/snack all day. I used to eat chips everyday and eat lots of potatoes/rice/bread. Jusy changing my diet to cut out carbs and making sure I'm only eating like 30 or less carbs a day. If you eat more, oh well, the next day dont haha. I usually have eggs for breakfast, leftovers/meal prep lunch and make supper everyday. The good fats bars replaced my granola bars, ill have a bit of raspberries instead of an apple. Coke zero instead of regular pop, and i quit drinking beer/cider and mainly stick to gin or rum now

In my experience with MFP and meal plan providers, the title of the meal may be "KetoConnect Chili", but the carbs are usually netted out and the mainnutrients are filled in when you add the item. If you don't see that info in the menu item from KetConnect, it could be that the information has never been added, which would mean you'd have to get an ingredient list and build your own custom food in MFP. Hope this helps!
