question re: cheese on fitday

[krisanlove]

I am on day 6 of induction.
I just joined fitday and entered everything I ate today to see if I am near the percentages we are striving for.
I entered 4 (slices, 1 oz.) of muenster cheese and it is only registering as 1 carb. Am I doing something wrong? On the package of cheese, it says 1 carb per slice. HELP?
Thanks!

When entering your foods into fitday. Enter them on Custom Foods and enter the info right off your package of cheese and or other food items. That way your carb counts will come out more accurate.

Re: question re: cheese on fitday

I found the home version to be much more accurate. But I have question for you....is that 4 slices that are 1 ounce each or 4 slices that together weight 1 ounce?

Re: question re: cheese on fitday

Each slice of muenster has 1 oz. Sorry that wasn't clearer.
I have started entering most of my food items at Fitday under custom foods.
Thanks for the advice!

Re: question re: cheese on fitday

well the usda has muenster at 32/100 gram of carbs per ounce so 4 ounces would be 1.28 grams which fitday probably rounded off.
Does the package math add up....in ither words, if it say 80 calories per slice, does the total fat, protein and carbs equal 80 (just using that number off the top of my head)
I find a lot of food labels are just off. I emailed Colemans about their hotdog label cause it didn't add up and they responded with "oops" there's more fat than the label says....
