i decided to start managing my foods at fitday so i could see my fiber intake..and proteins..and cals.....

i added some foods and wanted to edit them but when i select them, all it does is add them to my "foods eaten today" list. does anyone know how to edit or delete foods??? the only thing it said in the 'help' part was to put a check in the box to the left of the food name and click 'remove food' but that only removes it from the "foods eaten today" list--not what i wanted arg!

If you're looking at the info for a CUSTOM food (one that you've entered) -- and note that you get to the info when you click on the blue link, the name of the food, in your foods eaten today list, so that the nutrition label comes up -- it should give you the options to delete this food or edit this food as buttons at the top of the page.

For most other foods too, on that info page it will give you the option to edit this food - i.e. if your peanut butter is a little different from the peanut butter fitday has in its database, you could just tweak the calories or fat or whatever of it without having to enter a whole new food.

Checking the boxes beside the food names in your foods eaten today list and hitting delete will only delete that food from that day, not from you list of custom foods.

You can see a list of all your custom foods by scrolling to the bottom of the custom foods menu (in the 'add a food' box on the top left of the page) to SHOW ALL CUSTOM FOODS.


>>also when i DID add a food i ate today, my soy yogurt, instead of using the amount i entered in as on the label of the container, it added that i ate 1 LITER!!! when i went to change it and put in the correct amount in grams, it only lets me select from 3 options--none of which are grams! oiy!! does anyone else have this problem?? ORRRR a solution?? fitday shouldnt be THIS hard!! haha thanks all

Question - if you didn't already do the grams to cups (or whatever) conversion, how did you enter a custom food? What did you put for a serving size if you didn't already do the conversion? It's a pretty easy conversion - just go to google and type in (for example '5 grams in oz' (or whatever measurement you want it to be in) and it will give you the answer. But you NEED to know that to enter the serving size of your custom food in the first place, otherwise the nutrition info will be messed up!

And.... um, yeah - you have to change the amount eaten for pretty much every food that you add - fitday's not *that* intuitive So just figure out what a serving of your soy yogurt is in whatever measurement you like and then enter that. You'll have to change it from liters yourself though! lol

Hope that made sense!
