Fitday.com & vitamins

[lizajayne]

If you use fitday.com, do you enter all your vitamin supplements in also? Do you just create a custom food for it?

I noticed that on my overview chart it showed that many of my vitamins were way below the daily recommended average, but I do take a multi and other supplements that are not reflected in that chart because I'm not quite sure how.

I think I just need to create a custom food for my vitamins, but I wanted to see if/how others had their's set up.

Thanks!

If I were entering my vitamins, I would create a custom food.

Your multi and other supplements might have vitamins that Fitday doesn't track, so it's probably not going to be a "complete" custom item.

I eat vits but I do not add them to fitday. I looked at it a while ago and then decided it was too much bother anyways.

I add my multi-vitamin as a custom food and put it in my daily food logs in FitDay. That way my nutritional stats are more accurate. FitDay does not track my other supplements so I only create custom foods for them if they have carbs and log them in the daily food log.
