MyFitnessPal keeps throwing ads at me, anyone else fed up?

I've been using MyFitnessPal for years to track my vegan gains, but the ad creep is insane right now. Like, I'm just trying to log my lentil curry and I get hit with a barrage of ads for protein bars I don't even eat! I tried Cronometer for a bit but didn't vibe with it, so I'm stuck here. Anyone else feeling this frustration? It's distracting when I'm just trying to stay on top of my macros.

Lol I feel this! Tried logging my pizza in MFP and got hit with ads for kale chips. Like, nah fam, I'm here for the cheese! But for real, I just use MFP to track calories and sometimes the ads rly kill the vibe.

Ngl, I just don't trust those new AI apps. Tried CalAI and it was hot trash, just gave me random calorie numbers that didn't make sense. I'm sticking with MFP for now, at least I know the food database even if the ads are wild.

100% facts! I was tracking my vegan meals and suddenly I got bombarded with ads for whey protein. Like, hello? I'm over here mixing up chickpea curry and u're sending me dairy ads? It's ridiculous.

i feel your pain. As a busy parent, I need something efficient. I switched to Nutrola because the AI photo logging is super quick, under 6 seconds to log a meal. I can get back to my kids without spending ages on my phone!

I can relate! I used to love MFP for logging but the ads were so distracting. I switched to MacroFactor last month and the algorithm just works for me. The meal suggestions are on point and I love how it helps me stay on track with my training and running schedule.
