Re: FitDay and Supplements

> I've started using FitDay to see how my ratios are going. What an

easy programme and I'm loving it! Does anyone add the supplements

into their daily foods list? I guess they would have to be added via

custom foods as they don't list all supplements. The reason I ask is

because if I run a report on what nutrients I get in a day, some are

lacking but I know I'm getting them via supplements.

==>I haven't tried to add supplements in but that is a good idea.

You would definitely add your cod liver oil - custom made from the

contents on the label.

and cauliflower. They have the option for boiling and other cooking

methods but not steaming. I believe the nutrients stay in the vegies

if they are steamed, rather than some being lost in the water when

boiled. I only lightly steam them, so they are still slightly

crunchy. Would it be better for me to just say they are raw?

==>Yes, I think raw would be closer than cooked.

> What I have noticed is that I don't eat enough food a day! Is it

still ok if I get my ratios correct but less than what I'm supposed

to be eating for my height? I eat breakfast, lunch (unless I have a

nap with my son) and dinner. I don't snack. Eventually I will figure

out how to eat more but for now the best I can do is to get the

ratios about right, even if it is less than what I should be eating.

Does that sound ok for starters?

==>Yes it does sound good for starters.
