  • Yeah no argument from me about being able to write program code to do this oneself only it's a big job... Since I see now one can add all the tracking items one wants to "CheckIn" here on MFP that will suffice for a start. It would be nice if MFP integrated dietary vitamins and minerals with supplement intake. An interface…

  • OK someone tipped me off on how to do much of what I want to do... add those items into the "checkin" category! Looks like that will help a lot... Seems MFP has the feature it just isn't explained or shown by example. duh...

  • The beauty of MFP web based database application approach is the integration with data collection. I cannot build a spreadsheet that will do the look ups of nutritional data for my entries for me as MFP (and its ilk) do so well. I do experimental data analysis for a living using spreadsheets and it's a demanding job. I am…

  • Health monitoring devices are very available, inexpensive, and excellent. For example a fingertip pulse oximeter can be had for under $50 as can a blood glucose meter, blood pressure meter, and other health tools. They offer incredibly valuable health monitoring data to record. Seeing that health data next to diet,…

  • Spreadsheets are an entirely different animal from database applications like MFP. MFP already provides a large array of trackable items. Users here pick and choose what to enter.. it's very convenient and effective. Adding an additional few trackable categories would seem to be a very simple process for MFP which is a…

    in MFP was wrong about my caloric recommendation Comment by rg1949 June 2015
  • Likely upon rising from bed after a nights sleep and after voiding ones bladder and before drinking anything your naked weight ought to be most consistent. You exhale a lot of water breathing during the night so weighing in at this time and in this manner will minimize water weight, the biggest daily weight variable.
    in What is an acceptable range for maintaining weight? Comment by rg1949 June 2015
  • On stationary bikes your weight doesn't matter as it is supported, unless you are standing on the pedals. On my Stationary bike if I spin for 60 minutes at 25kph the bike meter says I have burned about 600 cals. I checked this against heart rate calculators and other means and it seems to be a good number. I wondered about…
