Counting Net Veggies Carbs in Fitday.

[CalicoPrairie]

I really love using Fitday, but I'm having a hard time counting my veggie carbs while I'm using it. Is there a trick someone could share with me, or even a method of doing this? I really try to get alot of my net carbs from veggies, but I'm sort of flailing here on that because Fitday doesn't show how much fiber is in each item on my food log.

TIA!

Do you use the online or PC version?

The online version.

I don't see any way to do this in the online version, but in the desktop version you can specify a reason column in your food log. You can then define a "reason" called veggies and use that for all your veggie entries. You can then produce a report of carbs by reason and get the numbers.

You can also enter all your vegetables first.

I am looking at the FitDay online, and if you look below the table where you enter your food, there's some tabs. On the first tab, "Calories", it shows the macro-nutrient breakdown and under carbs it shows the total fiber for the day. That should be what you are looking for!

Thanks FMN! I was hoping that there was some way to program it to tell me (as I'm entering my foods in) how many of my net carbs are coming from veggies. At this point I'll probably just write my menu for the day and add the other stuff afterward. Thanks though!

Or...how much fiber is from veggies would be ok too.

Oh I see now ...yeah, that is a problem with fitday. I have been using the MY P.L.A.N (on the Active Low Carber Forums) and it shows the fiber for each item, but it has some bugs and is missing some fo the features of fitday.

Sounds like you have a plan until someone comes up with a better solution.

Fitday shows you the fiber of each item if you click on it to see the nutritional labe.

Yup. Got it. I realized that afterward that it would take a little bit more time, but that's fine for now. I think I'll keep my fitday journal as well as my handwritten one just until I can get the hang of proper fiber consumption.

I think I'm figuring things out, which is great. Thanks again!
