MyFitnessPal App Review & Listener Concerns About Microdosing


Episode 36


Uncle Marv begins by sharing his recent experience attending conferences, where he faced challenges in maintaining his healthy eating habits. He discusses his weight loss progress and the difficulties of finding suitable food options while traveling. 

Marv then dives into his review of the MyFitnessPal app, highlighting its strengths in calorie counting and goal setting but criticizing its overly calorie-centric approach and lack of focus on nutrient density. He expresses concerns about the potential for obsessive behavior with calorie counting and notes that the app's premium features, such as barcode scanning, require a paid subscription. 

Later, Marv addresses a listener's question about his decision to cover the topic of microdosing on the podcast. He acknowledges the controversy surrounding the subject but emphasizes his commitment to providing a balanced perspective and exploring potentially beneficial practices. Marv clarifies that he aims to feature first-hand experiences rather than opinions and maintains an open mind while remaining cautious about illegal or harmful activities. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle while traveling and attending conferences can be challenging.
  • Calorie-counting apps like MyFitnessPal may not be suitable for everyone due to their overly calorie-centric approach and lack of focus on nutrient density.
  • Exploring controversial topics like microdosing can provide valuable insights and perspectives, but it's important to approach them with an open mind while remaining cautious about illegal or harmful activities.
