I have a similar problem as Karen in FL. But I have read the manual and still find that my eating habits are such that it takes forever to enter my food into the cron-o-meter because of the variety and lack of recipes. I tend to throw whatever I feel like and have on hand together.
Here is an example for breakfast this morning:
I poured about a cup of home made rice milk into a bowl and added a handful of oldfashioned oatmeal with 1 tsp full of ground flax seed.
While this was soaking...
I went to my garden and picked 2 okras off the stalks and ate them raw while gathering a small handful of blueberries.
Back inside I added the blueberries to the bowl with the soaked oatmeal, added some cubed papaya, 2 chopped walnuts and a handful of grapes.
That was my breakfast for today.
Now tomorrow morning, I may start out the same way with soaked oatmeal (or use cooked rice instead) but add half a chopped apple or maybe an orange and/or a small piece of banana.
In other words, it's never the same and the amount varies from day to day .
The same for lunch, I just combine different things. I love all kinds of salads - and their ingredients are NEVER the same.
That means I have to enter everything from scratch every day item by item... RIGHT? or is there indeed a simpler way?
I was wondering if I could save the foods somewhere, in the amounts I tend to eat, and then drag them into the new day - that would work.
I like to think I'm not the only one that has this problem. I've attempted 2 days so far and it took me forever because each day I had to look up the foods again and recalculate their amounts. So I stopped to see if I can eliminate the manual repeats.
Any help will be appreciated.
