FitDay??

[Thundergut]

Hey, question for ya'll that use FitDay.com

When you create a custom food, and they ask for "Alcohols" do they mean sugar alcohols or like booze alcohols?

I emailed them, but no response. Any ideas?

Interesting question.

No clue... I know when I do have a drink or many I won't use fitday because I don't want to know, lol.

I think your better off just counting your calories on your own that fitday isnt that accurate on most foods.

^^^ Totally correct unless one has time to create all custom foods.

I like it for giving me a good idea what range I'm in though +/- a few hundred calories.

I'm doing custom foods for most, if not all, of what i'm eating...so thats why I'm curious.

I've noticed if I don't put in the sugar carbs on some foods as alcohols, it returns an error.

I'm not looking for an exact count, but I'd like to use FitDay as an "easier" calorie tracking utility to see how i'm doing in my diet.

Down 5lbs from last week already.

Congratz on the loss so far!

Yes, it gives an error if any space is left blank as far as I know... so "0" if nothing else to not get an Error message.

Error as in the cals don't match up? Or this food should have "X amount of cals? " etc.?

You need to fudge the #'s to get them to enter by adding in sugar carbs at times ... stinks yes, but it is a basic guideline to follow ... so use it as such, not +/- 50 cals is going to break you ... knowwhatimean


Congrats on the loss so far

The alcohol part at the bottom is not for sugar alcohols, they are classified as carbohydrates and are not worth the 7 calories a piece that alcohol is with.

At first fitday is kind of annoying to use, I have about 300 custom foods that I entered and just use only those as, like others have said, much of the other foods they provide are inaccurate.

i fitday though

A good friend is working on a fitday clone that will let you SHARE your custom foods with your friends AND let you rip all your custom foods right from your fitday account.

Praise be him. I'll let ya know when its available online.
