Ok

Now another silly thing. With the "search for more ingredients" spot, I can't find tomatoes. I've typed in "tomato" and "tom", and all I get are entries for babyfood, soup, canned products, and tom turkeys . I just want regular fresh red tomatoes.

Ok, I found them by searching the vegetable list; they're on page 6. But it would save alot of time if they'd pop up with the above search.

By the way, I just finished entering a recipe, and it worked great! Really like this option.

Here's the last thing, and I'm off to bed. I was comparing my day's totals with the same from FitDay, and they are pretty close. One big difference...FD lets you enter the size of the eggs. I have md/sm. The only option for size here is large. For 2 eggs it's a 70 cal difference. Not a big deal for me right now, but if I was carefully watching calories, it would matter. I suppose I could weigh my eggs! 'Night.

This should go to the nutritional content thread Hopefully this will be covered with member's entries.

On the daily view, can you add an option to delete an item from favorites?

Also, entries in the favorites box don't seem to be in any particular order. Can you have them alphabetized so that it's easier to find an item?

When I was putting together a recipe I couldn't find pork rinds under a search for "pork". I double checked the usda food database and it was in there listed as "Snacks, pork skins, plain". I then did another ingredient search for my recipe using "snack" and the pork rinds showed up, so I know it's in the boards database. Just letting you know that it doesn't show up under the search term "pork".

I'm sure this has been said, but...

The main way this is not quite as useful as fitday for food recording is that you can't add custom foods. If I eat low carb italian salad dressing for instance, I can't list it with my foods. So I will be sticking to fitday for now for food.

Also, I must admit that I like the way that fitday deals with portion sizes, in that you can just enter how many cups, ounces, etc without having to figure out what percentage of a 100 gr you ate.


For those who have trouble with gram to oz or tsp or whatever conversions on fitday, here's what I do:

I go to google and enter in my conversion in the search bar, such as "44 gr to cup" and hit "search" and it will do the conversion for you.

But let me stress that I LOVE the exercise and weight chart features, they are WAY better than fitdays! I love My P.L.A.N. and it's really helping me!

People will stick to whatever they want, we have no problem with that.

But you can enter custom food, if you didn't check the menu.



Weigh and volume cannot be converted without too wide an aproximation. This is due to density.

It would be easy for us to add cups, gallons, liters, etc. But it maybe a bit misleading, since it will assume the density of water (or any arbitrary fluid). This may present a problem in calculating recipes in the recipe tool..

Not sure This can be done from the favourites editing page. If we add it, then we'll need to add options to delete from ingredients list, custom list, etc. I'll write it down and think about it for a bit.



Yes, I plan on adding sorting options for the favourites, and other lists.

On the Nutrition Facts page, can you add a column for %RDA. That's what I'm used to looking at from using Fitday. I am just not familiar with all of the actual counts. It makes it difficult to do an assessment.

The Recommended Daily Allowance is quite biased toward the infamous food pyramid. If we apply the RDA%, it would show most members under-eating "enough carbs", and eating "too much fat".

First let me say this is a fantastic new tool! You admins really outdid yourself and now I'm sorry I purchased FitDay.

Now, on to he the suggestions: Can you please include an ounce selection in the food catagories for ALL foods? I live in the US and weigh all my food on a scale that measures ounces. Typically the smallest ounce serving I consume is 4 -- but it would be nice to be able to use lower measurements; For example, sometimes I eat 2 ounces of blackberries and 2 ounces of strawberries. I'd like to be able to calculate the nutritional value specifically, rather than a generic "mixed berries" or assigning the whole meal to one berry or another.

Thanks! And thank you for this new tool!

Should be coming soon

Thank you so much!

There's now a 1 ounce serving size by default to all the food entries (including new custom items and recipes).

Also, in the "Edit Settings" page, you can change your default serving size (100 grams or 1 ounce) for food entry, recipe editor, and bulk entry form.

Wa'il

how do you show "my plan" next to galleries" "my quote" etc...??
