I love the app but is there a way to customize the log screen? I would like a section to check off my vitamin supplements (similar to the water intake section). Also I would like to split the snack into two sections 1 for am and 1 for afternoon. Thanks.

Hi Nattalee,
Thanks for your feedback. I will pass it along to the design team.
At this point there is not a way to customize the log in screen, as you have described. Great idea though! I would use that function every day if it was available. The water tracking function is very easy to use. At this point I use custom trackers to track my vitamin intake. If you eat the same snack every morning or every afternoon you could use the custom tracker function for the consistent snack that you consume and use the main “snack” section to track the other snack you eat. If you are not familiar with the custom tracker function, this info may help you out. Let me know if you have any other questions. Joanna (Dietician)
How to use custom trackers.
1. Create a new custom tracker, for example with name "Allergy", with target value "1", tracker units "intensity", and 0 decimal places. It's a good idea to make a comment in the tracker about the value range you will be using, e.g. "My allergy symptoms, from 1 to 10". Optionally, if you expect to use this tracker frequently, you can move this tracker higher up among other trackers.
2. Once you saved your new custom tracker, you can start tracking it! Go to the tracker and enter current value - the intensity of current symptoms in this example. You can also time stamp it, and even assign a label for further classification (this is optional, though).
3. Keep tracking your symptoms over some time, then you will be able to review them on Day Parts (Diabetes Overview) screens/reports, or chart them in Charts, review for any correlations, and hopefully seeing improvements!
If you don't have Maximum, you can upgrade online on the MyNetDiary website, on the Pay & Manage page.

Hi Fatboy_jt- How did you download the app?
Was it from Google play or i-tunes or www.mynetdiary.com website?
The reason I ask is the price is different based on how you originally accessed it.
I will look into things further once I get a bit more information from you. Thanks for helping me piece this together. Joanna (Dietician)

I Am not satisfied with the max. Version.
It has no great difference with the free edition.
I think it doesn't worth mony, while the free app. Is great really and helped me so much.
The drawbacks are
1: not sync. With RaceFit tracker
2: so many trademark food packages are not included in your food library.
Thanks and accept my greetings

Greetings Elshehy,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the database for MND. We take our database seriously and work hard to keep it up to date and accurate. Here’s a bit of information about how that:
• 496,000 foods in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. Verified foods only, user-contributed foods are excluded.
• 1,300 restaurants among 2,200 vendors including well-known brands, restaurants, fast food chains, supermarkets, special diets, ethnic foods and common USDA foods. See our vendor list.
• 238,000 UPC barcodes assigned to majority of popular packaged foods.
• Food popularity rank based on usage in our community of 7 million people. We know what people actually eat.
• Up to 36 nutrients per food, on average 15 nutrients per food.
• Up to 10 servings per food. We fight duplicates and normalize the data.
• Food icons for most foods help you create beautiful, readable food lists.
If you are not already aware, we offer the ability to scan barcodes of favorite foods for personalization. Here is an article that describes how to do this. http://www.mynetdiary.com/mobile-calorie-counters.html
You are welcome to talk to support at support@mynetdiary.com to discuss options to turn off MAX settings and let them know you’d like the app to sync with RaceFit Tracker. They are updating the system all the time! Cheers to health, Joanna (Dietician)

I'm very happy with my net diary, and just want to add a point about food nutrient composition of trademark packaged foods - The nutrition labeling laws only require a few micronutrient listings so most of them are incompletely tested so there's not a lot MND can do about it. If you, like me, are concerned about those unlisted vitamins and minerals, the workaround I use is to find a version of the food that has been completely tested, and use that instead. It's a trade off between accuracy and completeness, but until entities like the USDA fully test a given food product, there's not a lot that can be done.
My dietary goals are based on exceeding USDA RDAs for micronutrients, and hitting a certain grams protein per day, within a certain total calorie budget, so completeness is more important to me than someone doing something like IIFYM for example, so I specifically avoid using any brand named food entry, knowing those entries will be incomplete. I hunt for version of the food that lack a brand identifier, or, failing that, a more extreme work around I use is simply examining the ingredients, estimating the proportions of each, and entering those for form a 'recipe' of the food - if the total calories and macros more or less match up with what's on the label or the restaurant info, odds are it's in the ball park, at least enough to have the end result be more accurate that excluding those nutrients altogether.
It's a lot of work, but MND at least allows doing it at all, which is what puts it head and shoulders above competitors like fitness pal
