I dropped the Ball
I didn't even get my wife a mothers day card, I put my daughters gift (she bought herself) somewhere and I can't find, and then my wife informed me that I didn't do anything for her on her B-day in Jan.

net calories???
When you do reports and then looking at "nutrition", why does it only say I had 800 calories on one of the days? Does that mean I had a day with only 800 worthy calories?
