@Homeflower Thanks for sharing your post. I buy into the idea that diet could have an effect on ADHD. To what effect, I don't know? I'm interested in learning more about the connection and being able to tie diet to other factors such as happiness, depression, vitality, etc. Having a child of my own I'm curious about the impact that diet plays on development. It's clear it does have an impact. There's a real opportunity for research here. Good write-up!

Hahaha. Thanks @Homeflower! Hope your surgery went well and that your recovery is speedy.

Dear TweetWhatYouEaters,

We would like to invite you to participate in a small study to help us learn about your eating habits and use of TWYE. To participate, you just need to have complete TWYE entries (in English) with all that you’ve eaten for the past 7 days (you can use the complete-days feature to keep track). If you have that complete 7-day record now, you can go right away to our website (below) to fill out a questionnaire about your eating habits; or else you can go the website any time until the middle of February, once you’ve completed 7 days’ worth of entries in a row. That’s all there is to it! To thank you for your participation, we’ll hold random drawings at the end of the study to win a $50 Amazon gift certificate, TWYE T-shirts, and TWYE mugs. We’ll publicize the results on TWYE once they’re all in.

To participate, please go to our questionnaire website as soon as you have 7 days of complete TWYE entries:

Thank you for your input and support of TWYE!

@Homeflower I'll check out your post. I think that diet influences a lot of behavior and there's a great opportunity for research here. Also a great opportunity for TWYE to start to correlate diet with mood and behavior offering its users food templates like for "concentration" or "weight loss" etc. These would be little toolkits with suggested foods to eat to improve concentration, stimulate your metabolism, etc.

@Weightlosskitty congratulations. Today's a new day. How you going to do???

@Homeflower this is really great! It's extremely powerful to see a complete day of eating this way. Are there any recommendations you're making to your mom based on this?

@Weightlosskitty, you can do it! Post back at the end of the day with your success so we know you were able to resist the temptation

@Naomi59, welcome to the Tweet What You Eat community. Where did you read about Tweet What You Eat? If you can, post a link to the article please and we'll put it in our press section.

@Homeflower Congratulations! Thank you for being such an important part of the Tweet What You Eat community. Happy anniversary.

@Homeflower that's great news! I tried to search for the segment but couldn't find it. If you can dig up the link, please email it to me and I'll post it. Thanks again for the head's up!

@loestreich you can also go into My Diary, click on 'settings' in the top-right next to your username and activate the CrowdCal setting - this will attempt to auto-fill the correct calorie value for the foods you eat that you leave un-caloried with the most popular calorie profile from the community. Try it out and thanks for using TWYE!

Some of you may have noticed a new information icon appearing next to entries in your food diary. Tweet What You Eat is piloting an in-diary food education program working in conjunction with Dr. Howard Shapiro, author of Picture Perfect Weight Loss. If you see an icon next to an entry in your diary click it to read informative tips targeted to keywords in the foods you eat. Currently there are 12 tips. We're continually adding new content - some text based, some visual through photo food comparisons. If you have any comments, ideas, or suggestions, please reply here!

@lchutny I'll add an edit button, similar to how food entries work this evening. Did you know that you can log your weight with a comment through twitter like this: 'd twye #160 - feeling great about my weight!' Give that a shot too and let me know if that works and I'll be sure to add the edit button.

@lchutny the weight chart has been fixed. Let me know if you have any problems with it. How are you posting your weight entries? Through Twitter or directly on Tweet What You Eat? You can add a comment to your weight entry on the weight entry form, there's a field for "comments"

@lchutny we're aware of the problem with the weight tab and we're hoping to have it fixed this weekend. I'll update the thread once it's been fixed.

@Homeflower and @dajero1, I'll look into this and get it sorted. Thanks for pointing it out

@Homeflower Fitbits are great. I have one as well. I'm going to integrate the Fitbit feed into TWYE so you can see calories in as well as calories out. When you order your Fitbit, make sure to click the Fitbit banner on TWYE! Let me know what you think when you get yours.

Tweet What You Eat is a free service as you all know. Advertisers (like Nutrisystem) help support the cost of operation. Please check out Nutrisystem's product. They deliver healthy meal plans tailored to your weight-loss goals, right to your door and they're having a great summer sale. Check it out!

@dajero1 can you give the two Cracker Barrel coupons away as gifts to friends? That might be one way to eliminate THAT temptation. Keep up the good work. I'm sure there's a friend who would love those coupons!

@Formerly_Fat you can actually enter exercise the same way you would enter food, just use a negative value for calories burned.
