Exercies Database

ysdiver

I'm new to myfitnesspal and I can't figure out why when I seach the database when I'm trying to enter my exercise for the day, it always comes back with no data found, but if I go to the exercise database when I'm not in my section, it shows an extensive list of exercises and calories but doesn't give the option of putting it oven into my section. What am I doing wrong?

So far, I really like the program, but this part really frustrates me.

What are you searching for? Sometimes it can be the difference of searching for cycling instead of biking or bicycling.

Yep, I agree with Crystal, that's usually the problem (Sorry if it's not yours. If not, give more detail).
You can't search for stuff like "treadmill" or "exercycle" -- search for the actual motion you're doing on those things -- "bicycling" or "walking" or "running."
