question about using Fitday-Jody

[Guest guest]

Hi, I want to check my son's daily intake on Fitday. How do you add

the foods that you make yourself like the cashew muffins and the bread

that I make? Also, Fitday would only let me put the age of 13 in as

the lowest age, but my son is 8. Does that make a difference?

Thanks for the help!

Jody, Do you input the raw ingredients for the food? Doesn't cooking

change the calories etc? Thanks for the help! Gwen

To include homemade items, I input an entire recipe. Then, I copy down

the calories, carbs, fat and protein. Then I divide the totals by the

number of servings. (For example a muffin recipe that makes 12- I

would divide the totals by 12). Then I use the CREATE CUSTOM FOOD

feature and input the name of the item " Cashew Muffin " and input the

information about the calories, carbs, fat and protein into the form.
