Stats-page / Tilastot-sivu

I've made a new page that show statistics for user's data. This page IS ONLY available for the new layout. Stats-page can be found HERE (It can also be found from left menu).

Stats are divided to three different categories: Training, nutrition and others. In "Training" user will see information about his/hers training. There are, for example, total count/duration, first/last training and percentages of training days/times. There are also TOP10 exercises and possibility to save all the workouts as PDF-file.

In "Nutrition" there are similar stats than there were in "Training". There's average calories, first/last marked day and TOP10 meals. In "Other"-tab user will see his/hers biggest and smallest weight and information about gallery pictures.

Tutorial: Creating meals

Here's tutorial for creating and using meals. These tutorial are for the new layout, which can be found here.

Meals helps when you're eating (almost) same lunch or dinner each day. You don't have to add all the foods individually. Just add one meal, that has all the correct ingredients. Or if you have some special type of sandwich you eat every morning, which contains, for example, cheese, ham and bacon. Without using meals, you would have to add each food separately, which would take some time. Faster way is to create meal called "My sandwich" and use that every time you eat your sandwich.

Let's see how it's works. From "meals"-page you'll see the meals you've created. From there you can select previously created meal or create a new one. Now we'll create a new meal called "My Sandwich".



Type meal's name and click "Create". Then you can select which foods belongs to this meal. Let's make that kind of sandwich I describe earlier. So first add one bread and then all the stuff you put on it. Remember that we're making just one bread. Because when adding this sandwich, you will also select how many sandwiches have you eat.

So when you have added all the foods, it should look something like this:



Healthy sandwich, I would have to say :) Now your meal is visible in your "meals"-page. You can also edit it later if you want.

Adding a meal

After creating meals, you can add them. To do this, just select some day from the calendar (small calendar on the left menu). You can also click "Today's nutrition" from the menu to select the current day. Now there is "Add meal"-table on bottom of the page. From there you can add a meal to selected day. Let's add the meal we created previously. Select "My Sandwich" from the list. Then type "2" as a amount, because nobody eats just one sandwich. :) So it's should look like this:



On the right you'll see what selected meal contains. Now click "Add meal" and your meal will be added.



Now the "My Sandwich"-meal is at 17:00. I also added one glass of milk. By clicking meal's name you'll see some information (total calories, proteins, ...) about that meal.

Osoite siirretty / URL Moved

Osoite on nyt sitten siirretty, joten nyt pitäisi taas www.xlgain.com osoittaa oikeaan paikkaan. Sivut toki löytyvät edelleenkin osoitteesta http://xlgainco.asiakkaat.sigmatic.fi/. Ja vielä muistutukseksi, uusi layout löytyy edelleen osoitteesta www.xlgain.com/user_index.php. Kirjoittelen vielä tänään ohjeita aterioiden käyttämisestä. Ohjeet tulevat olemaan tästä lähtien vain englanniksi, joten pääsette nauttimaan minun loistavasta englannin kielestäni. :)


And same in English...

The address is now moved, so www.xlgain.com should now point to the correct place. Temporary address (http://xlgainco.asiakkaat.sigmatic.fi/) is also working. So if you have some problems, you can try that one also. New layout is still availaible for testing and it can be found here. It will be released some day. I'll soon publish new tutorial about using meals, so stay tuned.
