Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi Iunipera: I bet you eat kale! For a long time the USDA database, which all nutrition software uses to generate its output, showed kale to have zero vitamin K (perhaps other foods too?). But any other source would tell you it is a huge source of it. My GUESS is that finally the USDA has corrected its database entry for vitamin K in kale. But there were other difficulties with Fitday that I had noticed, and told them about, which could not have been the fault of the USDA. Perhaps they have fixed them too. Best way to check is to go through the vitamin K content of your diet item by item using a different source, and see if the total matches up with what Fitday claims it to be. And similarly for other nutrients if they look suspiciously high or low. Rodney. > > I've been using Fitday for several months but in the past week (since > their new skin) the numbers seem very off.
