Myfitnesspal Questions

[SleeveDreamer 383]

I have a couple questions about myfitmesspal that I can't figure out. First, is there a way to add something to you diary with number of calories rather than selecting, for example, one banana, if you only have 1/2 banana, or if you only have 2 oz. of smething instead of defaulting to a selection of 4 oz? And second, is there a way to set your calorie goal for the day yourself? Mine defaults to 1,340 per day and I can't find how to set it lower. Otherwise I love the site. It makes it so easy to keep track! Thanks in advance if you can help me!

I usually just use decimals. For example if the only choice is 1/2 cup I choose that one and under serving I put .5 so it halves it if I only had 1/4. Works for everything. You can go to goals and change the calories manually but depending on how far out from surgery you are it might be wise to stick with what they say. I'm a yr out and they set 1460 for me and i m set to lose a lb a week. It works for me. Good luck! It is a great site!

Yes you can set your goals - click on goals and at the bottom change goals, then custom and you can adjust it there. I use decimals also as for if I eat a 1/4 cup and normal serving is 1/2 cup I just do .5 also.

Thanks so much. They both worked!
