Kcal calculation errors

brianj25us — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:30:09 GMT

This manifested on Sunday (8/1). I have done independent calculation and run several sample cycling scenarios and figured out that the currently calculated kcal is off by a factor of 10. Using the my cycling trip of today as an example, the manually input/calculated kcal is 1010, but if you remove the manual input, the site calculates 101 kcal.

Prior to 8/1, the calculation was was working correctly.

water/alcohol consumption feature

mdamon — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:23:03 GMT

First, thanks for adding this, will be really helpful to track my water intake. What I'm noticing is when I hit save and then leave the page and come back the amount of water or alcohol I added are gone. I've tried this in IE 8, Firefox 3 and Google Chrome and had the same issue in all 3. Just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Nutrition update bug

fionex — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:13:38 GMT

When trying to change the serving size of an item in the nutrition log, it doesn't change after pressing update. In order for it to work, you have to reselect the food from the drop down-search list and then click update. Another work around is to delete the item and re-add it with the right serving size.

Exercise minutes by type on home page not updated

emmamjking — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:49:32 GMT

On my home page it hasn't updated the exercise minutes chart since july last year! I admit I had a bit of a 'break' from training, but have been working hard over the last couple of weeks! ;):D Any ideas? Cheers, Em

minor bug: adding exercise to to custom workout - wrong number of sets listed

bryce75 — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:32:48 GMT

I've seen this happen a couple times now:

-Create a custom workout (strength)
-Add an excercise
-Add details for 2 sets, click Insert

At the workout summary, the page shows that there's 3 sets in the workouts rather than 2. Editing the exercise and re-saving (Click update, w/o changing anything) correctly updates it to show the right number of sets in the exercise.

application not working very well

mikem — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:34:33 GMT

Great idea for a website so I registered.

I treid to set a weight goal and as I changes some of the factors, the expected date to achieve my goal didn't change in the correct direction... I lowered the target weight and the target date got closer... I like the idea, but dont thin its likely

I had Panda express orange chicken for dinner so I entered it and it was in the database at 500 cal per serving. the panda website shows 400 cals per serving

I clicked on "create a custom meal" on the nutrition page and it took me to the "add a workout" screen.

I logged out and back in, but that didnt seem to help

Looks like a great idea, but doesn't seem to work so well

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Mike

I am trying to input my strength workout but can not access the individual exercises and repetitions for weights.

Notes are cut short on Daily Summary Page

bradinator — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:11:32 GMT

Dear Trevor (or whomever else this may concern),

Firstly, thank you so very much for your hard work on this website. You've created a wonderful thing here. You are helping a remarkable number of people get fit and healthy, including myself. Even moreso, you've made its use freely available. Amazing! I love this site.

Now, I'm going to complain. Forgive me.

On the Daily Summary page, my notes are cut short. I took the time to count the number of characters with a word processor, and the magic number appears to be 500. After 500 characters, my notes are truncated.

Also, I would love to be able to type longer entries for my notes. At 1000 characters, I cannot type anymore when entering a new note on the Log Entry page. I know that might sound like a lot of space, but those spaces and carriage returns add up quickly! If you can spare the storage, I would be very grateful.

Additionally, it seems that once my notes are accessed by the Daily Summary concatenation functions, my notes are permanently shortened to 500 characters. This means that potentially half of my notes are being deleted.

Thank you so much,

Brad

Have to Log on Twice

Bobtrikke — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:08:34 GMT

Everytime I log on, I have to do it twice. First the box on the right zs I open the first page has a place for my screen name and password, and it fills with both. ( It says Start Today above that box in a Blue box. ) I hit the login button and instead of logging me in then another box opens lower in the middle of the page. Is there anyway I can just log on one time...???

Personalization and Account buttons are nonfunctional

saltyraven — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:23:31 GMT

All other buttons appear to work. Is this under development or do I have a problem? Not that I need them at this time, just exploring the site.

Calendar page displays wrong percentage of fat

msaddy — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:44:23 GMT

When I calculate the percentage of fat calories consumed I am getting a different (and much higher number) than what the calendar page shows. For instance, according to the calendar today, 19% of my total calories consumed was from fat. But if I calculate it using the grams of fat x 9 divided by the total number of calories, it is much higher -- 31%. I had suspected I was consuming far more fat what the pie chart showed. Am I calculating wrong or is the calendar wrong? Thanks! Otherwise I absolutelly love this website. Thank you, Trevor.

Nutrition Log doesn't show column for fiber

mousie_04 — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:03:44 GMT

I've gone to the preferences link and selected the appropriate columns I wish to have displayed in my nutritional log chart. However, I've never been able to get the fiber column to show up. Right now I'm only showing, total fat, protien, and carbs, but I have total fat, protien, carbs, and fiber selected.

Any ideas?

Personalized meal totals incorrect

toomey17 — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:41:17 GMT

I tried to make a personalized meal and noticed that the totals for calories/fat/carbs/etc. are not summing correctly. Any solutions / what might I be doing that is incorrect?

Thanks for this wonderful site!

Customizing the colors on the site

jenstar — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 12:26:11 GMT

Trevor,

First of all, let me say WHAT A GREAT SITE!!! I just sent an email, but wanted to post this here as well. I was wondering if you could change the color of the weight tracker bar from "yellow" to a darker color. For me seeing my weight go down, is definitely beneficial boost. Perhaps you could use "purple" . This is just a suggestion.

But I again wanted to thank you for the website. I think I can reach my goals by seeing it all in black and white.

Thanks again.

Jen

Finding Custom Foods, etc...

Gallows Jack — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:51:55 GMT

Recently, when I type in foods that I know are in the database, I randomly get the "no matches found" error in the drop-down box. I know that these exist because I'd entered them originally and found them reliably in previous searches.

Also, do you have a format you'd prefer for entering custom foods, as other people can access what I enter?

Problems with total Calories burned in Cardio

mousie_04 — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 12:36:57 GMT

When I enter 2 cardio activities (walking for example), I enter the time in minutes and seconds, my estimated miles, and click "insert", my total calories burned is double what it should be. For example, today my estimated calories burned for taking two walks was 125 and 108. That total is 233, however, the program is telling me that I burned 466 calories. I even tried deleting the info and re-entering it to see if that would make any changes and it didn't.

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but I just thought I'd bring it to someone's attention.

Great updates otherwise. I have not had any problems until I noticed this one.

unable to save logs or goals

cwilhelm — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 12:52:51 GMT

I'm new here. I'm trying to add new log and goal entries. I don't see a save button or anyway to save the data I enter. I'm using firefox 3 on windows. I also tried explorer 6. On a unix system, I tried firefox 2 and the same problem. Also tried mozilla 1.7

What am I missing? Is there supposed to be a save button? I couldn't find any help or tips to create logs or goals.

caroline6288 — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 13:37:50 GMT

Calorie Total Problem

flytwenty5 — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:52:38 GMT

Today, June 4, 2008 at 4:45pm, I tried logging a 3mi., 40 minute walk and it said I burned 173 calories. I then changed it to a 3mi., 35 minute walk, and it said I burned 151 calories. I then changed it to 3mi.. 10 minute walk, and it said I only burned 43 calories.

I think the burnt calories should be going up with the decrease in amt. of time it takes to complete the same length.

Site Occansionally Not Saving My Logs

flytwenty5 — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 08:29:57 GMT

For some reason, sometimes the site will not save my logs. I put all my info in, click save, then when I run the report, it is no where to be found.

Calendar Errors

pbroderi — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:42:39 GMT

Okay, I am a person who is very serious about fitness and I have been keeping logs of everything I do. I stumbled upon this website today, which seems to be perfect for what I am into so I signed up. The first thing I did was try to enter in my nutrition, cardio, and strength training logs for days in the past and when switch days on the calendar I would frequently get the below error with a ridiculously long stack trace.

OS: Ubuntu 2.6.22-14
Browser: FF 2.0.0.12

Error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlTypeException: SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

I would post the stack trace but its insanely long and it gives lots of fun information about your database and paths on the server, etc... I suggest you turn off stack traces to the user and debug these problems in a development environment ASAP!

Why didn't my post show up?

Grace01 — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 08:24:45 GMT

Hi. I tried to post a new topic yesterday but after clicking "post new topic" it just disappeared. I came back an hour later and tried to rewrite and post it but the same thing happened. I was concerned that I was just looking in the wrong forum and there would be two nearly identical posts from me somewhere else. But I looked everywhere and it just isn't there.

Thanks for your help.

Serving Size

mousie_04 — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:06:57 GMT

Hey Trevor,

Thanks for taking my suggestion to heart about being able to input your own serving size! I love it! :)

I just wanted you to be aware that if you try to input anything over 10 in the serving size box, you get an error message and it sends you to the login page with a red "x" under the main graphic.

For example, I eat carrots a lot and I usually have more than 9, so when I saw that I could input my own number I tried to type in 12, and it sent me to the login page saying "error".

Just an FYI for you. Keep up the fantastic work!

Goal Countdown Bug

kedlyo — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:20:50 GMT

This is not really a big deal, but I thought I'd let you know about it: From the homepage, my first goal icon on the rt. hand side correctly displays "0 days remaining", but when I click on the link (which is the goal name) the new page & bar graph show that there is 1 more day to go. It looks like all my goals are off by one day like that.

It's really no big deal - like a little ladybug, not a big bad stinkbug! ;)

Great job with this site!

entry fields do not display correctly in Firefox

pon — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:10:49 GMT

I don't know if there was a new update, but now the 'notes' field overlaps the other fields in the data entry forms. This hasn't been a problem before.

nutrition summary small error and another bug

msb6622 — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:36:40 GMT

1. When you look at the nutrition summary it says cholesterol, sodium, and potassium are in grams...should that be milligrams?

2. When i delete an entry from anything that screen goes blank. I have to go to home then back in to do something else. not sure if it's my browser or what.

THANKS, MATT

Cardio Calorie consumption

dlp01 — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:36:00 GMT

I noticed when I put that I walked 1.5 miles, that it calculates fewer calories burned if I walk it in 20 minutes vs 30 minutes. I'm sure its basing the calculation on time, not distance, but distance is probably more accurate, I would assume.
Thanks. Its a great site. So easy and helpful.

Wrong nutrition info?

smmuirhead — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:16:01 GMT

Not sure where to put this... so I figured Bugs and Errors worked. I went to enter in a meal today and it was already in the list, a Wendy's item, but the nutrition info was wrong compared to what is listed on their website. I created a new custom item and input the correct info. What can or should we do in this situation? Thanks.

Detail graphs

smmuirhead — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:25:31 GMT

When I look at my detailed graphs for metrics, exercise, and nutrition... the dates are off by two days. Any idea how I can fix this? It didn't do this until the new feature was added. Thanks.

Problem adding nutrition log entry

trevor — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 09:27:48 GMT

It was brought to my attention that the nutrition log entry page was not allowing entries to be made. This was indeed a bug with the validation of the food combo box that has now been fixed. Please log your nutrition entries and let me know of any other problems you may encounter.

Thanks,

CAPTCHA Validation

trevor — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:04:24 GMT

Several people have reported issues with the CAPTCHA validation on the registration page and the contact pages. I've confirmed these were reporting mismatched values incorrectly in Firefox and have fixed this issue.

Thanks,

Registration problems

trevor — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:03:25 GMT

Several people have emailed me to say they are having trouble with the registration page, particularly in Firefox and often on a Mac. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac to test with, but I did find some issues in Firefox and have corrected those. The problems were with the Country drop down, which if set to USA requires a state to be selected and if set to Other requires an other Country textbox to be populated. When the Country drop down was set to other in Firefox it would disable the State dropdown box so that it could not be altered, although there was no visual cue. I modified the page so that the State dropdown box disappears and is replaced with the other Country text box when the Country drop down box is set to other.

Another issue was with the CAPTCHA validation on the registration, which was always saying the values did not match even though they did. This has also been fixed.

Thanks for the reports!

Let me know what you find...

trevor — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 13:56:15 GMT

I'm a pretty good developer, but not perfect! There's bound to be a few issues, so please post them here when you notice and error or any sort of misbehavior by the application. I'll get it fixed ASAP!

Thanks,
