FitDay "Friends" aka "Fitness Buddies" - What are they and how to?
You may want to start using this feature of FitDay in order to share your Journals with select people.
Using this part of the FitDay program serves three key purposes:
1) It allows "friends", otherwise known as "fitness buddies" to view each other's Food Journal for ideas on what healthy foods they are eating. It's also a way to share Custom Foods privately; unfortunately copying of foods cannot be done directly at this time.
2) Other Journals can be shared privately as well, such as the Activities Journal and Weight Change.
3) You can leave comments, links, etc. on a friend's profile page. So it's a little like Facebook in this way. It's another way to help build community and friends here on FitDay.
Here's how how to setup FitDay Friends/Fitness Buddies:
For further information, view this thread: How To Add FitDay Friends for Journal Sharing

3) You can leave comments, links, etc. on a friend's profile page. So it's a little like Facebook in this way. It's another way to help build community and friends here on FitDay.
Here's how how to setup FitDay Friends/Fitness Buddies:
You have to make at least one part of your Fitness Journal public. A good choice would be the "Weight" section, since most here are open about this information. Make all your choices as to what you want 'Public', 'Friends', 'Private'. Go to "Profile" then "Public Settings Page" to do this.
The journal has to be public (at least one part) to get a friend request. If you don't want any friend requests keep all your journal settings to Private. OR, once you've got all the friends that you want, make all of your settings "Friends only".
Once you make a part of your journal public, there's a find member search at the top of page of your "Public Pages". Or the search can be performed from your Public Settings Page. The search will find members that have public journals only. The member name must be typed exactly when doing a search.
If a member name does not come up in the search, and it was typed exactly, then that person does not have ANY part of their Fitness Journal set to public. You may send them a PM requesting them to do so.
Once a member's page comes up in the search, look in the left hand upper corner and there is a button to send a friend request. It's a good idea to also send the person a PM to notify them that you've sent them a "Fitness Journal friend request" and give them the link to their home page for convenience.
Once they accept you as a friend, then you can view whatever logs they set for public/friends. The friendship is mutual; the person that accepted the friend request does not have to do anything further.
You and your friend may now leave messages on your Fitness Journal home pages, as well as view whatever content is allowed. Comments/content cannot be viewed by anyone except those friends (not even Moderators).
Good luck, and enjoy this fun feature of FitDay!

What are forum "Tags" and how are they used?
What are forum 'tags'?
Synopsis: Tags are keywords that are added to threads so the information is categorized for searching purposes within the bulletin board community. Without proper tags it makes finding specific topical information more difficult.

How to create a custom recipe with FitDay online
The FitDay PC version has a recipe builder. The online version of FitDay does not. If you'd like to build a recipe without purchasing the PC software here's a way to do it.
http://www.fitday.com/fitness/forums...pe-fitday.html
Also, if you do a tag search for "recipe builder" you may find some other useful suggestions.

FitDay takes those numbers and turns them into an amount ( for example 100% of Vitamin C becomes 60mg).
FitDay displays RDA charts in our reports.Your RDA for a nutrient is a different government standard that takes into account things like your age and gender. These are things that the label couldn't take into account. So while the DV was 100%, your personal RDA may be 110% because you need less due to your age and gender.
This can be confusing, but I hope this helps
