Roz and Lauren: Both good suggestions, and they shall be added to the to-do list

Hi Wa'il. A note on the Customs entries: it won't accept a number less than one. For foods, it doesn't matter, but when adding a supplement, it makes a bit of a difference. For example, I tried to enter my 500-mg evening primrose oil caplets, and I had to double the 'serving size' to two caplets so that I could put the grams of fat in as 1 instead of .5.

VERY cool tool.

There should be no problems entering .5 or 0.5

What was the errors message? Or how was it rejected?

>>>"Please enter the weight in numbers without additional characters."

This error refers to the serving size, not the nutrient values.

Wa'il

But for supplements, a serving size is often only 250 mg, 500 mg, ect.

...but that's livable. You can call the serving size 1 gram when you're saving your custom food, then just use .25, .5, etc as your serving in your daily entry.

I think a custom serving is best. Creat a custom entry, select custom size, and call the new size "tablet", and weightt as 1 gram, or whatever the weight of the tablet is, it doesn't matter, if you enter it in your daily entry as a serving of "tablet". This way 1 tablet can list the same amounts as the label.

Hi,

I'm really liking this thing, so well done.

Is there a way to add a search so I can find out how many (and what percentage of total) calories I've eaten came from a specific food over a certain time period? An even bigger one would be to have an option so the nutrition report will show macro data for a certain time period, but also specific food: from 5/01/05 - 5/31/05, 2500 of your calories came from cream cheese; 6000 came from chicken breast, and so on. It would be very useful in identifying trends and potential problem foods.

You can search for specific nutrients in a time times period in the nutritional reports sections.

But to search from which foods specific nutrients cames from is not available. But it does sound like a good idea.

sorry if this was covered, but is there a way to add water intake to My PLAN?
thanks!

Something I think would be handy is a daily or weekly graph of calories eaten vs. burned. That would give some "visual aid" and continuity to our daily exercise stats. It could be in the "Progress and Charts" section, and/or it could appear on the "Daily Summary."

FitdayPC does it by adding your exercise calories burned to your BMR, then just bar graphing it next to your calories eaten. Here's what it looks like:


That's about the only thing I miss about FitdayPC.

Yes, you can add water as a feed item, and it will show up in your daily summary as "Drinking water". Or you can create a bulk item for it, or even as a custom item.

Sounds good, will put in the to-do list.

Wa'il

Not dumb at all, this should be quite useful.

Just in case anyone is wondering why none of the latest suggestions have been implemented, it's because MyPLAN is being integrated with the new upcoming version of vBulletin 3.5. But a lot of the suggestions will materialize.
