Uncatergorized Calories for Custom Foods

‎08-11-2020 10:00

‎08-11-2020 10:00

I've search through several related posts and have no idea why my custom food is still showing as uncategorized calories! I created an entry for my overnight oats recipe and filled in all of the nutritional info but didn't include calories from fat. I saw a post saying that would be the source of the uncategorized calories so I updated the recipe to add it (using the 9 calories x 1 gram of fat formula), then deleted the entry log and readded it with the new recipe. But after refreshing my app, it's still showing the uncategorized calories. They are equal to the total calories for this meal so I know it has to be this!

Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong? I'm only tracking my intake to look at my macro ranges, so if these go uncategorized it will be useless.
P.S. I tried to add a photo to this post, but I have no idea how. When I click the photo icon, a box pops up asking for "source" and I don't know what to put as it's not a drop down or anything to give me a clue.

I have the same issue with custom foods. Even when I enter all the nutritional information it doesn't retain some of it and I end up with uncategorized calories when I track it. I haven't been able to resolve the issue so would be interested in the answer if anyone has a resolution.

I have the exact issue.  They have to know about it. They can't seem to figure it out so they play 20 questions with us. It's a real pain.

When I have uncategorized calories, I go through my logged food and open each item (as if I was going to edit or delete it) then click "nutrition facts" in the top left corner, I don't actually change or save anything I just open the nutrition breakdown, then go back to that day's food like g the macronutrients will have updated. It's super tedious, because sometimes I have to go through every item I have eaten for the day, but it does get rid of the uncategorized calories. 

 

Hope that helps.
