I've struggled with the exercise element a bit. I don't like those points being added to my daily total because I lose track of where I'm at for the day in general and find it confusing if I want to "save" them for another day.

The best thing I've found was what my cousin does: figure out the activity points you've earned and log them on your food log with a 0 point value (I enter "exercise" once for each activity point earned) then add the total activity point number to your weekly points (just don't forget to reset it to 35 at the beginning of your week!).

This method keeps my daily points separate but still lets me use the activity points when I need them

OK, I think I got the final formula down ok (although I don't have a clue what any of it mean)s. Does this final formula...

Round[(/50)+(/12)-(min[,4]/5),0]

...mean that I can add more than 4 grams of fiber? And I'm not sure what it rounds off to. Is it the next highest point? The next half point?

Thanks, Andrew

I love this app. It works so well and is so much better than doing the paper thing. I went to WW before so I know the "ropes" and this app allowed me to get back in the game without having to spend money on WW online. THANKS for creating this.

This is fantastic information and I LOVE Edibles - makes counting points so much easier! Now I am trying to figure out how to put in exercise so that it adds points back. Is this possible?

Thanks

David Posted it correctly above:

Round[(/50)+(/12)-(min[,4]/5),0]

Okay, in the formula above just replace the < with the "less than" symbol, and replace the = with the "greater than" symbol and it should work.

Last try...

ROUND[(<Calories=/50) + (<Fat=/12) - (MIN[<Fiber=,4]/5),0]

Okay dang it! I had to figure the HTML code. Here it is hopefully.

ROUND[([Calories]/50) + ([Fat]/12) - (MIN[[Fiber],4]/5),0]

HTML FORMS TAKE OUT THE <>'s!!!

ROUND[(""/50) + (""/12) - (MIN["",4]/5),0]

Here's the exact formula that WORKS!

ROUND[(/50) + (/12) - (MIN[,4]/5),0]

The trick is that ever calculation needs to be enclosed with parenthesis()

ENJOY!
