Hi there U1195937894-
Welcome to MyNetDiary! Thank you for reaching out and letting us know about the notice regarding Niacin. We are working to update the colors that appear if someone is slightly over particular nutrients for the day. Going over with your niacin, generally is not a concern. However, 30-50 mg/day can cause flushing. When taken in higher amounts (from supplements) such as 1,000-3,000mg/day of nicotinic acid, can be harmful. Hope this helps. Best, Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

Hi again-
You are not alone~ Many people find it easier to meal prep, plan and stay the course at the beginning of the week when they have more time and bandwidth for health goals. Might you try setting aside some time mid-week to reconnect with your eating and exercise?

Here are some tips and tricks that you may find helpful, as well as a resource to find a registered dietitian:

I have found that the type A, B, C, and D food ratings are not actually all they should be. I have been trying to stick with that trying to eat mostly an A diet, however, have found if I have what I know to be "healthy" foods, sometimes they come up as a C. This is frustrating when putting together a food plan. I read your notes on establishing the food grades and still it doesn't make sense. For e.g.: New information is out on milk (especially whole milk which has as great or greater value than skim/fat-free milk and also serves to fill you up more therefore eliminating filling your diet with unnecessary items. Also, it would be great if it tracks sugar.

P.S. Also the exercise tracking is difficult to use. Deadlifts, Squats, Bulgarian Squats, Leg Extensions, etc... are a large part of my workout as is boxing, kickboxing, rowing, stairclimbing, etc. As calories that diminish based on weight, size, energy effort, etc., all change the amount of calories at different levels, how would I adjust this?

Hi Neilab524,
That is a tough question. You have wide variety of exercises in your workout. If you have a fitness tracker, such as a Garmin or Apple watch, it could track your actual workout energy expenditure and import it into the app. If not, there are cardio-resistance workouts that you can select or you could choose circuit training, which involves both resistance and cardio in the workout.
