I'm puzzled...

Fitday.com states tuna salad is 20.13 carbs for 1 cup. Starkist can reads 0 carbs. I use only a 2-3 Tbs. of mayo, 2-3 eggs, onion, dill relish and 1/2 tsp. of mustard. Why the difference?

Re: I'm puzzled...

Tuna salad usually uses things like sugar in it and relish. When I use fit day I have to plug in all my indicivual numbers for those items to get a more accurate account. Things like chicken salad at fitday assume a lot of carbs from sugars.

That's why they pay us the big bucks!


Keep throwing those questions our way! By the way, I clicked on your link, and you are so pretty! I love your hair, too. Can I have it? OK, so that sounded a little Ed Gein...

Well thank you so very much! What a wonderful compliment. I actually have light highlights in now.
Fitday is hard to use to figure up your foods. Not the best options to pick from.
Thanks

Fitday gives me fits. That's why I just write everything down on a steno pad. Plus, when you write things down, you can doodle in little smiley faces and hearts! You can't do that at Fit Day. And when it comes down to it, it's all about the doodling.

Re: I'm puzzled...

Michele...did you enter YOUR tuna salad ingredients individually? By my inexperienced count you shouldn't have a carb count of 20 for a serving. If you are making a large batch you can enter everything then use Add new custom food and put in how many servings you will be dividing it up too. If that is fitday's tuna salad already up there then you don't know how much of what they put in it. So better to enter your items in there. A lot of work once and then it is easy to do after that as you can enter 1 serving at a time.
Remember ALL those things that you added in have carbs...I was quite surprised to see how many carbs onions have!

Re: I'm puzzled...

You need to list your ingredients indivisually or customize your own food. If you buy tuna salad from a store already made, or from a restaurant, it probably has sugar in it, and probably has sometype of sandwich spread and not mayonise. My tuna has 0 carbs, 2 eggs has 1-2 carbs, and my blueplate mayo has o carbs, I can eat a whole can of this for only 1-2 carbs.
