[QUOTE="RFSMarch, post: 1610800, member: 410451"] I have used MFP for ages, and after my diagnosis I rejigged it to "carb-count" rather than calorie count. You can set 6 Food Diary entries so I have mine set to: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack AM, Snack PM and Supplements (where I also include my metformin). Then under goals (on the free version) you can set a percentage for your carbs. Just mess around with the percentages to get you down to what you want. You can log your exercise, and then also in the notes section you can write all kinds of stuff... I log my BG scan numbers and my Blood pressure and can print all that off and take to the GP/Pharmacist whenever I go see them so it is all there in one place. Feel free to message me if you want me to walk you through it in a little more detail Edited to add - I used to have my drinks separate... now they go in the appropriate section (ginger and lemon tea and a coffee in Breakfast, afternoon coffee in Snacks PM, whatever I drink at lunch and in the evening if not water go in the relevant section and get lumped in to the carb count when I do the initial scan. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
