Is there a way to not add in your excurse calories to your food chart? I started biking as my primary mode of transportation and I don’t want to add those calories to my food. I looked in FAQ but did not see anything

    Just don't put it down. You don't add, it won't add.:smile:

    Thanks. I’ll just wait till the end of the day, so it’s still in there but not messing me up throughout the day.

    You can do a few things. 1) as you already thought of, log it as the last thing everyday. 2) Change your settings to show more activity as part of your daily life ie: go from seditary setting to active setting. 3) log your biking but where you see the calories, change the number to 1 (i'm not sure it will let you log 0).

    When I want to keep track of exercise but not have the calories show up in the food portion of the diary, I manually enter the exercise information in the notes section at the bottom of the exercise page. That allows me to keep track of the minutes/calories associated with exercise, but not have them show up in my food cals.
