Metric is metric and imperial is imperial- although the math is easy I dont wish to have to recalculate speed/distance each time I'm choosing an activity intensity from the drop down list! I would like to be able to choose that I ran today at a pace of 10km/hr.Īlthough one can add the actual distance run that day in Km, this is good but not the same thing. It would be a simple fix Fitday, please consider it! Hi Michael, thanks for the reply and it was very helpful! I might consider buying if I can get some answers on these questions. It would be good to go in to ‘recipe construction mode’ where you can search for individual single items and then tick a box to include them in the recipe. Or perhaps if you have lists of common items you eat, these could be highlighted or ticked so they can be added as ingredients for the new recipe you are compiling. When you’re finished adding items, a list could appear where the amounts (volumes of weights in metric or imperial) of individual ingredients could be added or changed. we make a healthy soup from fresh ingredients, the total weight including added water might be 6 cups or a kg and Fitday calculates the total weight and total nutrients etc but from this in meal #1 we eat 1 cup of soup, and in meal #2 we eat 2 cups because we are hungry! The program could calculate a ‘total weight’ for the created recipe based on the sum of the weights of the individual ingredients, from which therefore, the calorie/nutrition profiles of any portion sizes (again, volume or weight) could be calculated. Some other diet trackers that I have trialled have not had this last little tweek- meaning they sum up the calories and nutrition in a whole list of items, i.e. ‘a recipe’, but if you want to adjust the portion size eaten on separate occasions you have to first adjust the separate amounts of the individual ingredients to try and tally it somewhere near what you actually consume. Or just as annoying: you construct the recipe X in the program and then have to guess how many servings it usually makes. But what if you don’t know how many servings an unknown recipie makes or it’s one you invented on the spot!? Whatever, both are tedious Lets say it usually makes about 4 servings, so then when you want to add your portion size of recipe X that day you have to add it as 0.25 of a serving of recipe- OK but not very streamlined or flexible. In fact, the reason why I like Fitday so much is that the customised food part of the program recalculates for different portion sizes (based on the volume or weight you enter) easily once you have added the calorie+nutrition for a given weight in the first instance. When I was much younger and used to train seriously I used to have a simple excel spreadsheet that would be able to do that- it was crude but still enabled me to get basic calorie information for any portion size!Īnyways, my opinions don’t matter much in the whole scheme of things here, especially when you guys have lots of swish programmers! I’ll buzz off now and simply thank you for a great piece of software that is inspiring me to get fit again ! But I hope you change the metric system bits I mentioned before, some of us remain connected to Europe! Love your work Seems only a little tweek to add this great recalculation feature onto a recipe constructor. I guess the strength of a product is its ease of use and how often you use it.įor building a custom food from a recipe, I use. It used to be just, and I've been using it for a long time. It's not as easy to use as fitday but for custom recipes, you just have to put in the work and then enter the data in fitday as a custom food.
