Hi

I am so confused I have been using this great ap for a week now, but have just realised that my daily recommended KJ intake is over 4000 on the main screen and then when I got to my reports page it says it is a goal of 1200. Which is right or have I missed something here, which should I be following???

    Are you getting KJ and calories confused? 1200 calories is about 5000 KJ. I think you can have your system set up for two different measurement systems ( I have both lbs and Kgs)

    Hey thanks for the quick reply, I don't think I am getting them mixed up when I go into my reports for KJ a graft come up and there is a red line which when I put the mouse on say 1200 at the bottom in the key it says 'daily goal'

    Yeah Meesh is right...If you check out the energy on the product label it will tell you what it is in KJ and then in calories :)

    Your daily goal is 1200 calories then :)

    Ladies I totally understand what you are saying about Cal and Kj's etc but if I am staying under the required amount which I am then why on my report does it say 'daily goal' and then the blue lines go over the daily goal it still doesn't make any sense still confused.
