Okay, now I am not happy. I cannot add less than .25 cup of raisins to the My Food Dieary log. How can that be? I swear I am so unhappy that NM is shutting down. I wish we were given the option to make a monthly membership there. Arrgh!
Edit, there is a measurement calculator next to the search box to learn how to change something from teaspoons to cups. One tsp of raisins is 0.021 Cups and that changes to how many raisins you are eating. Pain to go through that if it is what happens with alot of the foods on there. I'll keep trying though.0 -
Why don't you track all of the vitamins and minerals?
We would love to be able to track every nutrient. Unfortunately, only 14 nutrients are required on the "Nutrition Facts" labels. This makes tracking other nutrients nearly impossible.
MyFoodDiary.com tracks the following 14 nutrients:
Calories
Fat
Saturated Fat
Trans Fat (see above note about trans fat)
Cholesterol
Sodium
Carbohydrates
Fiber
Sugars
Protein
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Calcium
Iron
Alcohol
Luckily, we have found that there is a strong correlation between diets that rank well in our system and diets that are well-balanced with vitamins and minerals that we are not able to track.0 -

This here is an FAQ question on My Food Diary Dot Com. I guess they aren't really following everything on the FDA guidelines for nutrients. I'm canceling that trial membership.
Edit: I closed the account and there was an exit questionaire so I told them what I thought about their product. I don't think they will like me too much now but if I can't put in 1 tsp of raisins without having to convert it then something is really wrong and I don't want to spend my time converting things like that. Especially if I am paying for it. Also, loss of nutirent data for more than the few they provide. Arrgh!

One thing to remember when using the foods in MFP's database is that they didnt go through a filter like at NM before being released to the community. Just have to make sure the info is accurate initially, or create your own entries. Ugh.
Debra, the calories I get here are about 100 more than on NM. Close enough for me.
The lack of micronutrients here is a bummer, but I more concerned with macronutrients anyway. With what I learned on NM, I'm pretty confident that I come close to meeting my micronutrients needs each day. They did indicate that they plan to add those, but who knows.0 -

We are sisters.
Christina, I was about to call you, but had a choking/coughing fit and now my voice is gone again.
Looks like I need to start a new "real names" list to keep all of you straight in my mind. ha ha
Sheryl, I dont know if you saw it, but I have this post up on NM where I'm listing the NM names and MFP names as I learn them. May help if you are creating a list of your own.

Thanks Marcie, I did see that and will copy it and be able to add to it.0

Hi sheryl!
I love the photo

That's strange that one place would give the same thing a higher count. Slowly but surely. I'll be curious to hear about your 7 days with myfooddiary. Does it factor in exercise too?0

Full day, straightened the house, did food for tomorrow, worked on 4-H, got journals and things downloaded from NM and tried to keep up with the activity in two places. Time for bed. Good night.0

If you are asking me how I will be doing after 7 day trial on myfooddiary then I have to tell you I already closed the account. I couldn't log 1 tsp of raisins without converting it into cups first. Way too much work for me especially if I am paying for it.

I'm having problems filing and saving my documents on my computer. They are saving really strange and it seems to be linked to the actual website of NM. I'm saving them as all files but they aren't saving properly. I had one Health Reflection with Food eaten listed that saved properly and looks very much like the actual page minus all the extra color and such. The lineup is the same and can be read the same way. Nothing else is saving properly except that one document. I have Windows 8.1 and I can't find a choice to save printing docs to my printer to print later. I don't have Color I have a laser and it only uses black but I would like to have the Green and Red colors on the pages. Does anyone know what to do? I started a thread at NM as well.0

Good morning. Ready for a new day. Church, family and maybe some rest. Have a great day. 0

Thanks for the link over at NM....got me to this page with no difficulty. Been on NM for years (2009 maybe) but haven't been active in the journal room too much lately. Name there was practically the same...minus the 562. Thanks for starting up this group...makes the transition less painful.
Missing NM,
Kimberly :-)0 -
Good Morning. This will be short because I have lots of saving of NM stuff to do today, all week actually, but later I'll have time to chat about my hum drum life.
I've got John watching a basketball game so he'll be occupied for a little bit.
Hi Kimberly, good to see you.0 -
Oh Sheryl, we love your hum drum life. It's been an interesting day here - some sad things, good time with the family and now quiet which I like too. I need to see how much of a mess the basement is. Up here is not bad. I worked on 4-H stuff yesterday cause I was supposed to baby sit tomorrow but don't have too so I'm ahead of the game for once. We'll be juggling cars some this week so it could be interesting. So glad to see everyone here. 1

Arobed, I am sorry to hear about all the loss you posted on NM's thread. I hope that your day will pick up and those hurting will find some peace.
Oh yes Ferris, we would love hear about the hum drum life, I know I have one, lol.0 -

I've still been posting on NM because I haven't been able to find my way here until I ran across Marcie ' s link somewhere. Hi all! Trying to adjust and recouping from yesterday. As I said on NM...ran across my old cards from you guys after my last surgery and it made me weepy. Miss granny and old friends...0
-
Glad you're here. I've been at both places. I don't want to stop at the NM site just in case Granny or anyone else that's not there often pops in.0
-
It's starting to feel more comfortable here. Figuring things out slowly.0

Do you have a program call ADOBE Reader? If so you can print to Adobe which creates a pdf file which is saved on you C drive. This type of program will allow the pages you want to save from NM just as you see them. Without a color printer I don't know how to make the Green & Red colors show up different.

Thanks tlspindor, I have tried the PDF but my computer won't pull it up as an option and neither will my husbands even though we have Adobe Reader on both computers.

Monday's here. It's cold but the sun is shining. Walked this morning but we do it inside now. Took Ava to speech and PT. We finished up the turkey vegetable soup for dinner. Now I need to gather everything up for 4-H. I do have a list made now. The exciting part is that I picked up Saturday's mail and thanks to my niece, I now have a fitbit. Now I have to figure out how to set it up. I got the clip one like I wanted.0

Awesome Debora, once you get it all figured out you can sync it up to this site.0

Sigh. Now they are giving away all the NM stuff that has NM logos on them. This is getting realer and realer.

I discovered some sausage stuffed bell peppers I had in the freezer, dinner will be easy and with a salad it makes my day green. I just have to remember to eat the oatmeal I added to the log to make myself green, lol.0
