Nutrition Log

BernadetteWagner — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:11:19 GMT

Hi everyone!

I am new here, just started Alli today, although I started my low fat, low calorie diet on Monday. So far I have enjoyed this site, one problem I am having though is trying to locate my nutrition log. When I click on the link for nutrition log on my My alli plan page it takes me to the meal plan. Am I misunderstanding what the nutrition log is? Is this a place to enter what I eat each day or is this only for the meals provided in the meal plan?

Thanks!

Bernadette

Question about restarting alli program

SouthernSweet2008 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:44:31 GMT

Hello,

I am restarting the alli program after being away for 4+ months or so. If I click the link that says restart the alli program will I lose all my past weight history? Should I restart that way or just keep doing regular weigh-ins? I don't want to lose my past weight history.

Please let me know. Thank you.

I am an american living in Germany. I bought alli here but all the instructions are in german. How do I get instructions in english? Their packaging does not include a number to enter into the program. Thanks

Myalli story

Melissa4.0 — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:26:35 GMT

Hello!

I tried to post a myalli story on my profile but haven't seen it posted yet... I was just wondering if it is still processing or if it was lost in cyber-space? I've tried before & it got lost :( It's frustrating because it was kind of long and my fingers hurt :) ha! But really, I thought it was inspirational and would hate to have lost it... I wonder if I can reproduce it... the copy/paste function doesn't work in that window :(

Anyway- do I need to rewrite it?

Thanks!

Melissa4.0 — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:56:40 GMT

Thanks!

our fat grams and calories are being rounded up!

sam17 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:20:14 GMT

Hi All-

I log in my own meals every day and have noticed that the information I have input is being rounded up. When I add a meal to the nutritional infomation section of my " build a new favorite meal" section as having 95 calories and 4.5 grams of fat, It is actually logged at 100 calories and 5 grams of fat.

So if this is happeneing at every meal, we could potentially be eating much less than the required calories and fats we are told to consume.

We are told again and again how important it is to stay on target--Is this some kind of trick to make us consume less?

No wonder we are losing weight...

Has anyone else noticed this happening to them???

My Meal Plan - Incomplete data on food items?

fay1013 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 13:52:21 GMT

Just started trying to use the online meal tracker. Although this might be nice if I followed the suggested menues, I find it to be somewhat tedious to enter my own food choices. In addition, after I entered my own choices, I was puzzled why the exchange info in the daily summary was off significantly. I have discovered that many of the items I chose to add are missing the exchange info - milk, 2%, selecting quantity of 1C does not reflect one Milk exchange - I am guessing because the item was chosen as 1 fl oz., then modified. Why is there not something as basic as 1C of milk for 1% and 2%? I see both of those as 1C quantities if they were Chocolate milk, but not regular white milk. Then again maybe it is not from changing quantities - I also chose "Pork: chop, boneless, broiled, 3 ounces" which likewise did not have exhange info - by the calorie and fat counter guide that should be in the vicinity of 3P. This tool is completely useless if the data that it pulls in from the database is invalid. I certainly do not have time to check all the food items to see if they are inaccurate or not - I want to see an accurate summary at the bottom of the menu plan. And why are there two links from my homepage to the same thing? My Menu Plan and Nutrition Log both go to the same place. The common questions do little to address any kind of "how to" for using the log. Seems like a tutorial would be helpful, instead of leaving us to figure it out on our own. This option of tracking food intake online would be a very valuable feature, but as it works right now, I think it leaves a lot to be desired.

What happened to my "Allistory?"

Skucera1 — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:02:20 GMT

I'm a little confused about something on my profile. I just spent 45 minutes typing my history only to click "save" and have the whole thing disappear! I tried logging out and back in and still, it's gone. I'm honestly a little upset because I put so much time into writing the piece and was pleased with the result. Is my story completely gone or is it just not viewable for some reason? Thank you for any assistance!

God bless :)

Doubling Recipes

nmgiampapa — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:19:33 GMT

It would be wonderful if you could provide a tool for changing the number of servings in a recipe. Some of these recipes are fantastic and I know that my family would benefit from eating them with me as well. Also some of them are a little involved or require ingredients that won't last so I like to make more then one serving and freeze the rest in individual containers for the next time they come up on my menu. It is easy enough to portion out the meats but for spices and sauces, I don't really want to be doubling just because I'm increasing the number of servings. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.

Online Meal Plan, change the designation of a lunch entree to a dinner entree

chet496 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:37:44 GMT

Tracking calories consumed per day, as well as nutritional totals per day is a very nice feature. There are several large, hot lunches that appear to have the same nutritional and caloric totals as dinners (I am pulling from the 1800 calorie per day list of food items). I would like to use these as dinner entrees. The problem is that I cannot find a way to "promote" these items or use them in any manner other than the lunch category they appear in. Is there a way to change the designation of a meal (lunch item to a dinner item) in the online program?

I also like the fact the meals are indivual portion size. No leftovers is a good thing for my regimine. Is there a single portion size meal for a chicken or lamb curry? That is one style of food I am missing - and kind of craving - after 50-days of effort.

Been on Alli 4 weeks but now follwing plan, how do I start an accurate meal plan

dwarlick — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:14:53 GMT

I've been following a low calorie (about 1500) and fat (about 40g) but I'm struggling with day to day eating so I have decided to follow the online meal plan and see if that is more succesful. The problem is that my online meal plan starts me at Phase one fat gams. Can I adjust in some way so my online meal plan starts where I am now?

Check in

LCarter03 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:49:54 GMT

"entering data" to "chart progress" on myalli home page

Momto2ChineseCresteds — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 18:36:50 GMT

Hi,

On my alli home page, I have a section titled "my progress." It has four tabs. The first tab is for weight, and, it shows a graph with my start weight and my first check-in weight. I've only had one check-in. The second tab is for calorie intake, the third tab is for fat intake, and, the third tab is for activity. The second, third and fourth tabs just say that I have not entered any data to chart my progress in those areas. How do I enter that data?

I have been entering the meals I eat in the nutrition log and also logging in my daily physical activity.

Thanks,

Olga

Confusing serving sizes

fishystuff00 — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 08:01:05 GMT

Hello,

I've come across this a few times, and am a bit confused. I went to look up and enter a glass of wine tonight, and this is what the food analyzer came up with:

"1 fluid ounce Wine, white, Sauvignon Blanc, 5 fl oz svg"

Which is it? 1oz or 5oz?

Thanks,

-Chris

E-diets delivery and meal tracking

daisydogooder — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:09:54 GMT

I sighed up for the e-diets meal delivery plan for Alli and it's great. I decided to do my meal tracking here because I like the tools better - especially since the the e-diets meals are available to select here (oddly, in e-diets own meal-tracker they are not). The only thing is, every day, I was finding myself over the limit of calories for my plan... only I was following the plan exactly! It turns out that the nutrition information for the meals here is for bigger servings than you get with the e-diets delievery - sometimes twice the size. I looked to see if I could adjust the portion as you can with inidividually added foods, but you can't. Is this something that would be possible to get in the future?

sudden change in target fat calories

sam17 — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:24:49 GMT

Has anyone noticed a sudden change in listing of their target fat grams/calories on the meal plan ?

I have been using the meal plan tool every day-- And my target calorie intake ihas been listed at 1200 calories and my target fat calorie intake has been listed at 360 .Today, my target fat calorie intakeis listed as 350 and when I went back to look at all the previous days, they have also been changed?

I typically never made it to the 360 anyway, so I'm not really worried, but this could really sabotage a strict counter...

Is this a glitch in the system?

I also should note that I haven't had my first check-in, so this couldn't be in response to any newly reported weight loss...

Any ideas?

contradictions

sam17 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:55:26 GMT

I have just constructed a meal plan for myself that hits my calorie and fat grams targets EXACTLY ( 1200 calories 39 fat grams). Last week I was coming up low everyday 1050-1150 calories, 29 or so fat grams).

At the end of that day, after logging in all my nutritional data, even though I was low, my totals were highlighted in green and based on the chart " within the target ranges".

Now, I have input exactly the same numbers listed as my daily targets, and the computer is telling me I am "moderately outside my target range."

What gives?

I keep reading over and over that we should shoot for our targets, not go below,but now it would seem we should go lower than the targets...

Could a moderator please explain?

Thanks !!!!

"Signature" - how do I set one up?

ibdublin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:02:23 GMT

Hi, I've spent the past hour trying to figure out how to set up my signature with my current and goal stats? How do I do this? It's a pain that there doesn't seem to be a "search" facility on this website - it's the one thing that is bugging me about starting Alli - the booklets are basic but ok, but the technology end of things seems to be so hit and miss...aargh!

Other point is that it seems, as a newbie to this site, that it is very difficult to navigate - no easy way to access forums as is the norm in all other sites...

...and where's the "submit" button for posts...actually am getting more and more frustrated with this site - and I'm not normally this vocal when things aren't working our but this is a pain!

Can you help please?
