So my first question is: If I cant find a food in the nutrition tracker, is there anyway to submit a new food? I have these blueberry muffins from the grocery, but there isnt a single one that is close to it. Any ideas? Thanks - Riz

So I was wondering how to enter it myself. Thanks Riz ============ Quoting from Philia2: Hmmmm blueberry muffins!! (wanna share?! ;o) You don't know the nutrition facts of those muffins?

Same for carbs and fats. You can also enter more than one meal but I haven't figured that out yet. Hope this helps. :)
Playdo Posts: 7 Joined: 2003/05/26	2003/05/29, 10:02 AM Thanks TJ!! That will help me a lot!!! And the results of my first day have been pretty close to target, with maybe only 65% of the alloted fat intake, 117% of carbs (and I thought I wouldn't be able to get close to the target!!) about 85% protein, and 95% calories! Not bad, but I definitely need to work on the protein... because that was WITH a protein shake!! For your question TJ, When you go to the meal tracker where you can click on your meal to enter foods, there are yellow buttons on the bottom. One is "add a meal". Hope that helps you! - Riz
