Negative Food

agthorn

No, I'm not talking about the "negative calorie food" bunk. Did you know that you can log negative QUANTITIES of food in your food log?

So if, for example, you order a sandwich at a restaurant and you get it without cheese...you can log "-1 cheese slice" and it will subtract all the relevant calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc from your macros. You don't have to create a whole different entry in the database for "sandwich, no cheese"!

you, agthorn. That's an awesome discovery. I've often wondered why you couldn't just add a main food item and subtract for the holds -- seems so logical, yeah? Now we know how! Thanks!!! :drinker:

When it asks you for the quantity (servings) it will let you put a negative number.
