Hey guys!
New to the app, it seems good so far, just have one gripe
The "water" section is only for water and the app doesnt seem to have any to add other fluid such as tea coffee etc. Just wondering what other uses log these as?

    Log it the same as you log food, as well as anything you may put in them (more important, since tea/coffee have very few calories but the additions may add up)

    If they don't have calories, I didn't log them. If they had calories, I just logged them like I did with food.

    If you're going to use the water tracker, pretty much anything you drink (except alcohol) counts as water for the purpose of hydration.

    Whether you log zero calorie beverages (tea, black coffee, diet soda, sparkling water, etc.) within your food diary is up to you. I do, but it's just how I prefer to do things. There's no right or wrong in that regard. They're all in the food database if you care to log them. If it has calories, you should definitely log/track it just as you do any other food.

    You can go to settings>diary settings>customize meal names and add a category for drinks :)
