Is there a way to track vitamins we take?

You can enter in your vitamins as a custom food and add them to your day.

From the Dashboard tap Food Log, then the applicable meal, then Custom -----> Create Custom Food.

I have attempted ta add my women's one a day information about 5 times and it just never saves. It will add to my food journal but all of the serving data reverts to "0". There has to be a way to make this work.

You are doing it wrong.  I am not going going to go to the trouble of explaining it again.  In the search forum box type in vitamin and you will get several similar threads where this is discussed or hit members posts below my name and look for where I answered this before.  I am not sure if I did a good job of explaining it or not but see if it helps.

It took me a few tries to get it logged correctly too.

 

This will work if you are using the main site, probably not on a mobile app (but I don't know)

  1. Go Logging
  2. Go Food Log
  3. Go Add Food - Other
  4. Go "Not in Database?" Go "add vitamins/supplements" -- you may have to click on the arrow for add more.  If it won't save without calories, just put 0

Don't worry about the serving size, or just put 1g -- MAKE SURE YOU PAGE DOWN AND HIT SAVE -- you'll probably also want to save as a custom food as well.

3 DIY Tortilla Tricks
I love Mexican food—tacos with crispy shells, crunchy taco bowls and salty tortilla chips. But I could do without the extra calories, fat and sodium in the salty, often deep-fried tortillas served at many restaurants or the less-than-healthy packaged versions of these foods sold in the supermarket.
