Subject: Nutrition Blog Mini Calendar Color Coding

Is there a "grace" range on the Nutrition Blog Mini Calendar Color Coding?  What I mean is, I have reset my minimum and maximum tolerance levels several times trying to get them to work.  There are days where I was clearly 2-300 calories over or under the tolerance range, yet the color coding still indicates I was on target.  Am I doing something wrong?

Also, more of an FYI than anything else as at least I am now aware of it.  BT sets my BMR (calories from lifestyle) at 3,167 calories/day, I calculated my BMR on seven different webpages and they all agreed to the number that my BMR is 2,145 calories/day.  I had created a nutrition plan based on the 3,167 number.  Fortunately, my target intake calories was +/- 2,000 calories but still, just sayin'.  At least now that I know the accurate figure, I have an understanding why I was not losing weight.

I went into you log to figure it out as mine has been working.

You have 2145 as your main number.  

On the '-' side you have 1200

On the '+' side you have 1600.  

So your BLUE range ends up being 954-3745

The '+/-' numbers represent the calories on either side of your middle number you want to bracket.  For instance if you are targeting 2145 and you want a tolerance of +/- 200 calories (for a blue range of 1945-2345) you put 2145 as the main number and the 200 in the +/- spot.

Once you reset your numbers and save a new nutrition entry, the minicalendar should reset.  Let me know if that makes sense or not.

Thanks Ron.  I obviously made an improper assumption when I entered the range numbers.  Now that you have told me what the numbers represent I have changed the upper and lower limits and it is now working properly.

Also, just want to say - As you likely remember, I am one of the people that was extremely critical when the new site was launched with all the bugs.  I am not going to withdraw my criticism as I believe it was valid, however I would like to say, "job well done" on getting the bugs worked out.  I am an I.T. guy and know first hand how challenging it can be when a project does not go according to plan.  Thank you for all the hard work to make things right.

Use this guide as a tool to perfect your nutrition during all three disciplines in a triathlon. Because not everyone requires the same quantity of macronutrients, be sure to practice your plan.
