My fitness pal question

Justwaiting · 04-25-2012, 07:00 AM

I can't find a way to change my daily calories. Am I missing something? Would I be able to do an every other day pattern? It's not that big of deal, I can do the math, but just wondering. Besides this- I love the ap! Especially the barcode scanner part! Oh and all the little charts!

On the website, when you're on the "My Home" tab, click on goals. Change goals at the bottom, go custom, and you can change your stuff there. You can't make it alternate, but what I do is put it to my up day calories since those are the ones I really need to track, the down days usually sort themselves out because there's a lot less to track.

Ahhh Thanks Julie! I was not using it for the same reason, now I can.

On the iPad and iPhone go to "more" than "edit profile" and scroll down to preferences.

Just an FYI, the "fat secret" website and app are awesome for calorie counting, too... The recipes on the website are varied and fantastic, and it's free to join.
