Hi All

Can MyFitnesspal be calibrated for kids? I have a 10 year old with PDD-NOS who needs to lose some weight also; we are working on his eating habits, but he loves charts and is a whiz at math, so I thought this would help him. Any thoughts?:wink:

    Check out sparkteens. They are like MFP but oriented toward teenagers.

    You could use MFP for logging food but the calorie budgets are set for adults. You'd need to do some figuring on your own for a proper budget for a growing child and manually set the data.
