I have been logging my food into FitDay these past few days and I'm learning alot about how I eat!!!! But I have a few User questions and would love a place for anyone to ask and answer. So here it is...our FitDay Q & A Thread. Ta-Daaaaaa!!!!! :clap2:

I'll go first....

is there a way for me to combine ingredients into a Custom food? For example, I make my coffee with 1 tsp sugar and 1 TBS flavored sweetner. Do I have to add all the nutrition info from each of the 3 ingredients together and make my own Custom Food? Or can I find these 3 things (the creamer is already added by me) and combine them somehow? Anyone?

Also, when I go to Curves, I log in 30 min of Circuit Training. Right?

Hey Kathy!

I tried fitday.com and couldn't navigate around easily, so I switched to sparkpeople.com and I LOVE it!!! You can customize foods, add new ones, track everything under the sun, and they even have support groups right on site!!! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hi Kathy,

I use FitDay and have made combined food custom entrees. You do have to add up the totals for each ingredient and put them into the Custom Food form. If there is another way to do it, I'm not aware of it. The good news is you only have to do it once and then *click* it's Tuna Salad or *click* it's Sesame Crusted Salmon with Hoisin Sauce, or . . . you get the idea!

I'm loving FitDay - wish I'd known about it years ago.

Okay, I checked out Sparkpeople, and yep, I like it! Thanks for the link Cheri! It's easier to use the food entry system (seems to be American foods, mostly, which makes it handy) and it tracks everything. I'm even able to track how much fiber I'm getting. That may or may not be available on FitDay. I like their message board, too. There's a few bandsters over there. And did you know that a Curves workout is considered Cardio? What's up with that? I have been logging it as strength training on FitDay. ???

I checked out Spark People and got innundated with emails, so I stuck with Fit Day. It's doing just what I need it to do. Although, Spark People is a great resource.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this thread and Cheri, thank you for posting about sparkpeople. I checked out their website and was so impressed that I joined! I can't believe all the helpful stuff there! It is so much easier to navigate than fitday, easier to use, has better graphics and, best of all it is absoutely free!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't really get into the sparkpeople thing either. The fitday downloadable client is GREAT! Kathy, in that, you can combine your ingredients into custom foods.
