Thanks!

I use it and would love for everyone to add me. I start my preop diet tomorrow. Username is shiela76442

I also use Nike+Runner and it keeps up with how much you walk and it sincs with MyFitnessPal. It's a great app

I notice with MyFitnessPal when the day is finished, it won't let you complete your entries for the day if the calorie count is less than 1,000. Does anyone know if this is a hard set or if it can be customized? I suspect once I am sleeved, I won't be able to consume 1,000 for a while.

Maggie, you can change it. Click on the calories remaining, when the next page pops up click the calories again and it will allow you to edit the amount. You can also change your protein, carb and fat allowances for the day.

Hope this helps

Maggie, Cecilia is correct. You can edit how much you would like to set your goal to. However, ever since UnderArmor bought out MyFitnessPal, when you compete you day and you are less than 1,000 calories it will give you a warning and will not automatically post to the wall. This is because for most people, you should not go less than 1,000 calories. I know on this site we fall into a different category where it is difficult to obtain that and since we are supervised by a doctor it is ok. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to not show the message. What I do is just not "complete the day". This really does nothing in the app except automatically post. I would recommend you don't bother clicking the button, and if you are excited and would like to share that you were under your calories for the day then create a manual status update that says that.
