Carry automatic carryover from previous consumption

This option allows you to automate a certain series of operations during the insertion nutritions in the diary.

Can be useful for foods that are consumed partially and of which you want only weigh the residue and leave to MxBody the task of calculating the weight consumed from time to time,

for example in the case of a pack of orange juice from a liter, sometimes it is more convenient to weigh the package before opening and then weigh it after consuming for example 1 or 2 glasses, avoiding the need to weigh more times the individual consumption.


For example, in the case of a pack of one liter of juice, when it is opened, in the diary you can enter the nutrition field by setting the 'Gross' the total gross weight of the

package, for example 1070 grams, and in the field 'weight residual' residual weight after consumption, for example, 920 grams, This way MxBody automatically calculates in the 'net weight' consumption of 150 grams.


Inserting the nutrition out of the box

Gross weight

1,070 grams

entered by the user

is the weight of the packaging of juice before it is opened

Residual weight

920 grams

entered by the user

is the weight of the packaging of juice after consumptiont

Net Weight

150 grams

calculated by MxBody

net weight


At each subsequent insertion of nutrition on the juice, MxBody automatically go back in the 'gross weight' residual weight relative the previous nutrition (920 grams) and therefore, simply weigh the package at the end of consumables and enter it into the 'weight residual' and MxBody will automatically calculate the weight consumed.


Subsequent integration of nutrition

Gross Weight

920 grams

calculated by MxBody

automatic carry out from previous nutrition and corresponds to the weight of the packaging of juice before drinking

Residual weight

800 grams

entered by the user

is the weight of the packaging of juice after consumption

Net Weight

120 grams

calculated by MxBody
