Hi, I noticed that fitday.com does not allow you to construct food out of existing ingridents. For example my breakfast sandwich is 2 slices of bread, 4.5 oz of ham + 2 eggs + 1 slice of cheese.
I could of course figure out individual component calories and macros but what a pain in the arse!
Anyone knows of a site that allows meal customization by components? (I wonder if I just gave a way an awesome business idea ;) )

You can do that on fitday if you download the full version. It's available on bittorrent, but you can go find it yourself.

the other option is what I do for certain 'constant meals I eat'
i put it into fitday online like normal, then make a new custom food and just add up all the macros.
its a little ghetto, but it does speed stuff up.

A guy once posted an alternative to Fitday and it did combine the meal like you want. I think it was Nutri something. He said that it was better than Fitday and that is the one he used. Try a search because I can't remember the name right now.

I pick a day in the past with no food entries, make up the food, then programme it in as a custom food from the macros.

If you eat that all the time just add the individual components, and make the whole meal a custom food. It takes like 30 seconds to do that.

I was bored and I'm not ready to go to bed, so here's the thread.

It's the last post. I'm pretty sure that was the site I'm thinking of.

I guess the consensus is that adding up a few numbers to make a custom food never hurt anybody. It's what I do as well.

Thanks for the thread "Cut150". I'm gonna check it out. As far as adding up all macros - yeah it could take a bit of time or less than a bit of time. But the point is that technology should allow humans to be more efficient :)
It's like when you build a house - you don't go cutting down trees and making 2x4s. You buy trusses and premade cinder blocks - then put them together ;)
OMG the http://www.nutridiary.com kicks ass! I can build my meals - from componens!!!!! Woohooo.

That feature is avilable in the full version of fitday. They make the free online version annoying to encourage people to purchase the full version.
