Hello -- I initially entered '40' minutes for bike riding today, giving me let's say '300' calories -- then I wimped out and only did 30. I changed the time in the log, but unbeknownst to me, the calorie calculator did not recognize this and still gave me 300 calories.

It really only burned off 200.

I ate all my calories then ended up 100 over because of the mistake...

UGH -- my fault I think -- but beware!

:ohwell:

    Hmm. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Did you try refreshing your browser?

    I think you can go to the right side of the exercise and correct it. Once you put the ex in the log, you can click on it and edit the calories. I'm hoping i"m not telling you something you already know.

    Thanks Pals,

    I was able to fix it but removing my initial posts and then reposting.

    But by then I had consumed 113 calories over without realizing! boooo!

    I noticed that the other day too, I added an exercise and amount of time before I did it and had the change it after. It works if you delete the exercise for the day and re-enter it. It doesn't take much longer, but is kinda weird.
