Thread: Fitday Calorie Calculation

Has anyone noticed? I think they changed their calculation. I tried adding a new food and got their error message that my calories didn't match the number of fat, carb and protein that I inputed. I looked at their calculation and they minus the fiber from the carb count before multiplying by 4. That's not right, is it????

Yes I noticed that too yesterday. Supposedly fiber is not digestible and therefore the calories aren't digested. So it makes some kind of sense. But I wish they'd left it alone.

Me, a skeptic? I trust you have proof

One tequila, two tequila,
three tequila, floor

Odd, it's been that way since I started using it in July. Or I hadn't noticed it.

I emailed them for an explanation. I will post it if they respond. It's not usable to me in its current state since I can't add any new foods without fudging the numbers.

How so..it only effects calories. It doesn't effect the carb count at all and in reality why would one want to count calories that have no effect on your body. After all, you don't count fiber for carb effects.
