JustMissTracy: I understood 'tracking' meant choosing items from database..(i.e.) 1 medium banana... Did that for month then posted here with exasperation. So that was wrong way to do things. One of the links says weigh peanut butter. I would select 1 tablespoon from measuring spoon or 1 cup of homemade chili. No clue how…

Thanks for links and encouragement...will reassess. No health issues and take longer walks some days or nothing other days...overall ok with body except for sloppy jiggly mass around stomach and abs. I can't resolve having been slim good figure most of my life and so conciliatory of body now mid-60. Re measurements... I…

Very helpful... Totally messed up on all reporting this week with cold and flu... Am ready to ditch this whole site off my phone and stop monitoring every square molecule (or is that round) ... Just be mindful and get on with enjoying life... Yes some will say "so where did that get you".... Haha

Yup I hear ya... Lots of people promoting accuracy so I will monitor measuring

Don't think I am eating back calories I earn from exercise ... I sometimes end up with a surplus of calories for the day or can't generate a daily report because it says I did not enough to generate one

Thanks... I have been selecting from database re boiled egg etc but people say to weigh things...if I weigh 2g of cheese for example, am I searching and entering that from a database or am I creating "my food".. I guess I thought we just select from existing items on list. If I know what 2g looks like I felt no need to…

Where do I enter my own measured foods if I am choosing and selecting entries from the database for example ... 1 scrambled egg??

How does one reset??? .."Maybe I should set the ratio back to what it was so that I could atleast meet the "normal recommendation" ... I fiddled around with the percentages etc and maybe have messed it up

Thanks so much to everyone for great info and links.... I appreciate it and feel more inspired to figure this thing out!

The nutritional report will show 'over' for fat and sugar levels yet overall I am within 1200 daily caloric total... Not sure about setting proper goals percentage breakdown for protein, carb and fat. I went for higher protein (90 gm) too hard to reach

Thanks... 65 at 5'2" and over 140lbs... Lots of middle stuff. I am a good walker and given up the white stuff, treats and wine!

Thanks all... I weighed a few things to get the gist of the size... Have eyeballed others but mostly locate the food item or close facsimile and enter that as the daily item under snack ...ie 1/2 cup of Astro 2% yogurt

If I eat more.. I figure I will gain.. Just new to this site... a friend told me about someone she knew was losing lots
