Fitday Tips

[Guest guest]

Everyone may already know this, but it took me a while to figure it

out so I thought I would share it with those who have never used

Fitday.com or are new to using it. I found that it was hard to put

in what my son ate because a lot of what he ate I made myself and it

wasn't available to choose from. I finally figured out that I could

go to a prior day that didn't have anything in it. I then entered

each thing I used in a recipe, i.e., 4 eggs, 2 cups acorn squash, 1/4

cup honey, etc. After I entered all my items for the recipe, I would

write down the information it gave me on carbs, fat, protein, etc.

Then, I went to Add a New Custom Food and named my food and entered

all the nutritional information on that food. I also did this with

his organic meat patties taking the information off the back of the

box, and anything else I used that had nutritional info on it like

his frozen peaches or mango. That way when I got ready to enter what

he ate for the day I could go to the custom foods and choose squash

buttons or nutbutter waffles, etc. and get a true picture of what he

was eating for the day. This really helped me see that he was

getting enough protein, fat, and carbs each day. I hope this makes

sense and can possibly help someone.

I have SCD Cheesecake, Pecan Muffins, Moussaka, Lasagna and other frequently

used

recipes entered in that way.

Fitday is so useful! You can journal your progress, keep track of exercise. set

goals and

make sure you have balanced daily intake according to your needs. You can also

get a

report on your weight over time and see if you are fulfilling your nutrient

requirements.
