[QUOTE=Elihnig]One thing I wish we had is for when you don't know exactly how the food you are eating is prepared or what cut of meat it is, for example:/QUOTE]

Not sure I understand the suggestion. You mean a "general" entry for steaks? You can create as a custom item drived from any existing steak entry.

Wa'il

What I meant was a "not sure" or "no facts stated" option for when you don't know what type it is, how it was prepared, like when you eat at a restaurant. Fitday has options like that.

Just a suggestion.

Beth

You mean for custom items? You want to create a custom items, that contains a food name say "Restaurant lunch special", but with no nutritional values? I think you can already do that, if you type all zero's, it should accept it.

Hi Wa'il, Can you add Seated Hip Abduction to the resistance exercises?

Thank you!

Sure, all 3 abduction workouts added.

Wa'il

Hi Wa'il, can you add the Reverse hyper extension to the list of resistance exercises?

Also, I was wondering if on the resistance log page, if you could add the capability to click the check box and then at the bottom add a button for "add to today"? That would make it easier to add today's workout. Then all we'd have to do is update the weights, sets, etc.

Thank you!

my plan
 

how do you show "my plan" next to galleries" "my quote" etc...??

Got to the MyPLAN page, and click "Edit Settings", then change the privacy option. This will make it show to others.

Wa'il

Done.


I'll add to my todo-list :)

Wa'il

So is this your full-time gig?

That would be too good to be true :)

i changed one of my "snack" options to "daily water intake". It seems to add be doing what I want it to do: adding the daily amount of water i drink. Is this the right place to do that?..

I know we can add food items ourselves, and I understand that at a future date we will be able to access everyones entries (oh my gosh, that is gonna be ALOT of entries, including multiple duplicates!).. but I was wondering if you are working on adding the Low Carb products that are available on market now-a-days?? (whether mayo, or ice cream, meal shakes, candy, or snacks?)

inaddition... thank you.. you have done a wonderful job, and while I have only been doing this about a week.. I am able to come in here and record my menus and exercise with no problem, and I had a very hard time with FitDay, and stopped using it after just 3 days.

thanks again

By snack item, you mean the custom meal titles? I think creating a bulk item entry for water intake might be easier.



Yes, this is my current project, phase two, making tools for sharing recipes and custom items. We should be able to add many low-carb products and restaurant mwnus. This will have a community feel to it, as the entries will be done by volunteers from our forum members, say is each volunteers to enter 10 items or so, and others can review and correct those entries.

Wa'il

"creating a bulk item entry for water intake might be easier"

can you explain this to me? I am not understanding the bulk entry..

yes, I changed one of the meal titles (breakfast, lunch, snack, etc.) and just continue to add the amount of water I drink for the day.. in the qty box. I changed from grams to oz.. let me know the correct way to keep track of water... thanks.. wonce again

dianna9234

Just click on "new bulk entry" from the menu, title it "daily water intake", and add the amount of water you'd like to use. Then on entry page, just select the new item "daily water intake" and add it.

Wa'il

getting rid of my own my plan
 

It would be nice if there was a way to end my use of myPLAN, or to erase all current data at one swipe and start over...this would be nice since, after looking at it more closely, I can better see how to use it and would like to get rid of old data and try again. Maybe you already have this feature, but I couldn't find it...
thanks!!

You currently can delete all stats in one click, and the same for weight stats, health stats, exercise info, custom foods, recipes and favourites. You can delete all of a day's food entry, but not multiple days at once.

But it does make sense to have an option to delete everything, if that's what the user wants.

Wa'il

Preview food entry for nutritional info
 

Is there a way i can find out the nutritional info for an item before i post it into my daily entry? Otherwise how do i delete it?

Yes. Instead of using the search box in the entry page, use the main search page:

http://forum.lowcarber.org/myplan.php?&do=advsearch

And click on the result the matches the item. Click on it, and it will show all the details.

Wa'il

Is there a way to save food AND their chosen amount in our favorites? or do we have to do this in custom entry?
also
Why do eggs whole/scrambled/poached/omelet all have different carb counts? With nothing added? In the atkins book it says eggs .6 carbs only...confused
also

maybe in the future we can have a quick converter added for those of us living in different countries?? or is there one already?

Thanks
Trix

You might want to check the bulk entry feature. It will allow you to add foods with specific amounts and servings.

As to why there are different entries for eggs, the USDA database makes specific assumptions to the preparation method. So 3 boiled eggs, are not the same as a 3 eggs omlette, or 3 fried eggs, etc.

A unit converter sounds like a good idea.

Wa'il

I posted the same thread in two areas because I wanted a variety of suggestions. One was in TDC and one was in Atkins. I had gotten several posts on both but I think the one on Atkins has been removed. I think this happened once before. Can we not have the same post in two areas or am I mistaken??

The problem with posting two identical questions in different forums is that it duplicates the effort of those answering those questions.

Wa'il

I see your point, but I was getting different answers from different people. Also, I see similar questions in different forums all the time. There isn't really much difference. Is deleting efforts of those answering questions any better than duplicating efforts of those answering questions?

We never delete the answswers. If you think an answer was deleted, let me know which thread and by whom. We simply merge the answers into a single thread.

You can get different answers and opinions in the same thread, no need to ask the same question multiple times in multiple places.

There is a lot of inadvertent repetition of frequent questions, and we don't remove those. But if the same question is asked by the same member at the same time in multiple places, it's considered duplicate. Many members consider it rude and inconsiderate, if they take the time and provide a detailed answer, only to find the answer was already given in duplicate threads.

Wa'il

Oh, OK! I thought one was just completely deleted. Thanks for the info. I never meant to be rude.

Hello, I have a couple possible ideas for the PLAN....sorry if they've already been posted, I tried to search but didn't find anything...

1 when adding/selecting your food after each item you select the screen refreshes(?) and you're taken to the top again...I find that I am usually adding in my whole day or half the day at once and it ends up being alot of scrolling....is there any way to not have the screen move up after selecting?

2 Is there any way to add "create new bulk item" into the drop down menu under the food listings? ie your daily food is there and you've just fiddled with all the amounts etc and on the far right where you can select a box/item to "add to favourites" etc. maybe a "create new bulk" link so what we've already done is automatically moved to the bulk item page and we just have to give it a name?

just an idea..

have a great day

Yes, this has been suggested a few times, so it will make the list :)



That sounds like a good idea :thup:

Wa'il

G'day Wa'il,

Any chance we'll be able to export our exercise information into our gym logs? No biggie if it's difficult/impossible. :)

Roz

Any chance of getting a print option for MY P.L.A.N.?? That way if I needed to print out a particular days summary or menu or even a recipe I can do so w/o having to get all the links and ads and all the stuff that turns a 1 page print into 4...
