fitday.com questions

I am trying to put a custom food in by inserting the information off of the container. When I do, it says in red that it is not right and will not let me put it in. Is the container wrong? Also, I have set a goal to lose 14 lbs before surgery starting today. It says I need to lose 1.56 lbs a week to reach this goal. What I would like to know is....how many calories can I consume in order to meet the goal of 1.56 lbs a week. I know it must be on that website somewhere. Does anyone know? Gail

 Gail, I've used the custom food option on fit day in the past without any problem.   Are you giving things a unique name?  and getting the serving amount right? For the weight loss part, I think you need to burn 3500 calories for a pound.  I will probably get this backwards, but you need to burn/use 3500 calories more than you consume to lose one pound. I'm not good with numbers, so good luck with Fit Day! Hugs, Mo

I haven't had that problem with Fitday.com. Weird.

Hi Gail, I had that problem a couple of times with a south beach protein bar. It usually happens when they are not so thruthful with their nutritional information.  Like one bar instead of having 220 calories in actuallity it had 340 calories instead.   I had to put the amount it was sayign so it can go in.  Atleast we get to find out exactly what we are getting.  As for your second question I really don't know sweetie.  Maybe Dave or someone else might know the answer to that question. Good luck with your goal. hugs
