  • Fitday question.

    I am entering my food into Fitday and I'm seeing that I am at 18.8 carbs for the day.....however, I'm showing that 5.5 of that is dietary fiber. Does that mean I'm really at 13.3?

          See, now, I tracked a day there yesterday for the first time and my Net Carbs is coming up at 15.6 which i'm quite pleased about, however, I consumed 2500 calories yesterday...is that too much?

              Not as long as you're getting all your veggies in and eating until full, not stuffed.

                Does everyone use fitday? I found it very counterproductive.....

                  I like fitday for calculating recipes I'm cooking in the kitchen. It's concise and easy to enter values for the different foods. I love it!

                    I dunno, Carne, I just figure it's best to use whatever is going to keep a person counting, kwim? I figure once I memorize the carb counts, I'll likely just go back to writing in my journal, but for now, I'm still learning.

                      I like fitday. Not using it right now because I am trying to do things natural until i have to change But it was the best thing on induction and OWL for me. But not everyone likes it. Not a requirement for sure

                        You can always look up individual carb counts for almost any USA food on the USDA database


                        and even download a copy for off-line use.

                        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                          Re: Fitday question.

                          i used to use all sorts of different sites.. depending on what i was doing.
                          fitday
                          sparkpeople
                          etc etc

                          fit day is pretty good. i'm not religious about entering my food in there, but i'm also a boring eater. i eat the exact same thing except dinner 5 days a week. dinners i just make sure to have a measured out amount of veggies and a measured out amount of meat and i'm good to go.

                          weekends are a bit more troublesome, and when i usually tend to use fitday more.
