New calories over time chart
Am I the only one bothered by the chart now that treats each unreported day as 0 calories instead of ignoring it? I feel like it wouldn't be to difficult to factor those out as just put a data point down where food intake was recorded. Now my chart is a bunch of steep hills, it has made the report very inaccurate, because I ate plenty on those days, I just didn't write it down.

Well, let that be a lesson for you. Record your foods daily. I think it's a good practice.
Look at it like this. You're either serious about tracking or not. By skipping report days, as you suggest, it does the following: 1) Gives phony data. So what good is the data if it's not accurate? 2) Makes a person think they're "serious" about tracking when in fact they are not. Being dedicated and serious is to track DAILY. 3) You're asking for this option to be implemented, encouraging a more unhealthy lifestyle by supporting the of skipping days. 4) You're asking for a programmer to take time to develop this option, just to support #3, which is not a good enough reason. I think FitDay HAS IT RIGHT. |

LOL. I'm not going to go back and forth with this. If somebody is using the site for tracking, they will use the site daily to record data. Claiming that "Most people using fitday rarely eat nothing at all for a day" is really not worth my time responding to.
You and I obviously have philosophical differences of opinion here. No problem. Do as you like. But I'm telling you straight that FitDay is not going to take the time to "factor in" missing days because it goes against the goal of the product they are trying to deliver. This of course is my opinion, as well as my opinion that if someone is serious about tracking they will record their calories on a daily basis. :) Best wishes with your fitness journey! :cool: |
