Problems with Fitday?

[justkeepswimming]

Is anyone else having problems with fitday.com today?

This is only the 2nd or third time using it, and Im really excited to get everything calculated... but it keeps giving me an error message everytime I try to click on the "foods" section.

Let me know if any of you are having the same problem, or if its just my computer mayber.

Thanks

No, I think it's their server. I'm having the same problem. I started having that 'Oh my god - Freaking Out Feeling.....' lol. Probably just give it an hour or so. I'll post back in here when I see it's okay!! Thank you!!

Too funny. I came here just to post a message about this myself. I'm glad it's not just me!

Re: Problems with Fitday?

I rarely use fitday, other than to figure out the carbs in recipes. Yesterday I was adding a custom food and kept getting this error message:

The number of Calories in the food does not match with the amount of fat, carbs, and protein.



There should be about 73 Calories. Cals = fat X 9 + (carb - fiber) X 4 + protein X 4 + alcohol X 7

It looks like fitday doesn't count fiber calories as part of total calories, anymore. I wonder if this is the most recent trend in nutrition or if it's fitdays quirk. It's an interesting dilemna, especially for the people who choose to eat the lower carb (and lower fiber) foods for their Atkins because you are doing a great disservice to your body in terms of energy/caloric intake.

Okay, I'm definitely no Fitday expert, but... I was under the impression that Fitday didn't figure out "net carbs" for you... meaning you don't use the step (carb - fiber) to enter a custom food. On the few occasions I have used it, I just enter the regular amount of carbs and fiber separately and then subtract the fiber from the carbs after it is all entered to get the "net carbs"

Make sense, or I am all wrong? (which is entirely possible!)

Re: Problems with Fitday?

Yeah Megs, I've never been able to get fitday to subtract dietary fiber....I've seen where you guys suggested how to do it, but could never get it working....

no matter.....

FITDAY IS BACK UP!! Woo Hoo!

Re: Problems with Fitday?

I had the same problem with fitday earlier. Maybe they were trying to remind us that the PC version is available for purchase lol. I'm not hooked enough to buy it just yet though.
