Wa'il, On the Update Stats screen, can you add an entry for %BF? I use a body fat monitor, so don't measure.

I'm not sure if other folks would use this report suggestion or not, but I actually log %BF, Lean Mass in lbs and Fat Mass in lbs. The BF monitor shows FM, but I have to calculate LM. Having a tracking report for that would be nice.

It will now add recipes to favourites when a recipe is created.


This sounds like a bug. A serving name should only be needed if it's not default, 100 grams.

Wa'il

Yes, it should allow BF entries, if someone already have the numbers.

Wa'il

Thank you!

Roz

Where do you enter it?

I meant in the future, as a to-do item :) I think it should accept entries from the same page where the chart is shown.

Hi Wa'il,

This is a cool tool and I like it. It's going to take some time entering my custom stuff but so far I like it.
I have a suggestion...is there anyway you can list the net carbs (as in Carbs minus Fibre) as that's my beef with fitday that I need to work that one out. I realize it's not hard math but I'm mathematically inept and it would be a big plus for me not to have to work that one out.
My apologies if it is already there and I missed it.

Thanks,

Steph

We do show the Effective Carb Count (ECC) as (carbs -fiber) in the search results.

However, in the daily view it may clutter the numbers, as it already lists 4 columns: carbs, protein, fat, fiber and calories.

The ECC is calculated and ready, and would be no big deal to show it, but the numbers may be too confusing, especially for members who don't know what it is, or those who don't subtract fiber.

There are a few options, though. The simplest would be to show a little hover/tooltip when you bring your mouse to the carbs cell, where it would show the ECC. But I think many may not find it.

The other option is to make it a selectable choice in the settings menu, so those who want to see it, will have an extra column showing ECC.

Wa'il

I like this idea.

ECC is now available as a default, instead of Fiber. You can switch between ECC and Fiber by changing the settings in the "Edit Settings" menu.

Thanks Wa'il, that really works for me, now I don't have to scramble for a calulator :)

Hi Wa'il,

It could be my pain meds softening the brain but I am trying to enter a new food - alfredo sauce and it is measured in cups (or mls), not grams and I can't seem to figure out how to enter it without a weight. Am I missing something other than a brain?
Do I assume the mls measure and then enter it? As in enter 60mls as 60g or will that foul things up and give me the wrong information if I used a different quantity?

Thanks,

Steph

Do you still have the label? It should state the weight, either in grams or ounces (the tool will soon allow ounces in addition to grams).

The reason it cannot accept cups, is that cups differ in weight. Acup of lettuce is much lighter than a cup of oil, etc.

You can still enter a cup, but the tool needs to know how much the cup weighs.

Wa'il

Yes, I do have the label, but it only gives me two measures - both are volumes - 1/4 cup or 60mls. For now since I only use it in 1/4 cup units I've added it using 60mls as 60g.

PS I hate volume measures and I am much happier using weights must be my European childhood as I just don't like cups as a unit of measure.

Can you add a food category for vitamin & mineral supplements? thx.
