After selecting
"Click to add item" from the Foods view, or after tapping on an existing food
entry in Foods view, you will be taken to the food entry screen. The
middle section of the screen, in white, is labeled "Current entry". To
enter a food, or change a previously selected food, begin by selecting a food
group from the food group drop down. Selecting a food group will then fill
the "Food" drop down list with the choices available in that food group.
At this point you can select a food from the drop down list, or you can further
limit the list by using the "Limit list to foods containing" box. For
example, if you wished to only see foods that contain the word "beans", you
would type "beans" in the box and tap "Go!". Now, the food drop down list
will only show items that contain the word "beans." Once a food is
selected, you should then enter your number of servings. For a partial
serving, use the pop up keyboard on your Pocket PC and enter a decimal.
For example, a half of a serving would be entered "0.5".
To enter another food without leaving this screen, just tap the "down" arrow
at the bottom of the screen. This will move the "Current Entry" food up to
the "Prior Entry" position (the yellow area at the top) and allow you to enter
another food. If you were editing a food, the down arrow would allow you
to edit the next food in the list. The up arrow will take you to the prior
food for editing. In addition to the up and down arrows, the buttons at
the bottom perform the following functions:
If you wish to add your own foods to the list, or edit an existing food in
the list, from this screen, choose "Lists" and "Food List". This will
bring up the following screen:

To enter a new food, just select a food group for your food, type the name of
your food in the "Food" box, and enter a serving size, number of calories, grams
of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. To enter another food, click the "Add
New" icon at the bottom. To delete the food item you are currently
viewing, choose the "Delete" icon. To edit an existing food, select the
food from the food drop down list, and change the serving size, calories, etc.,
to the values you would like. When you are finished, tap OK at the top
right.
Fill in the fields
here as you see fit; you can enter notes for your workout by tapping on the
notes tab. You can also indicate whether the workout is a "Planned" or
"Completed" workout.
Fill in the strength
fields of your choice. To change the choices available in the "Body Part"
drop down list, choose "Lists" and "Body Part List" from the menu at the bottom.
You can enter your sets individually, or from a template. To enter sets of
exercises individually, tap "Click to add item". This will bring up the
strength entry page.
This screen
functions much like the food entry page. Begin by selecting a body part.
This will fill the "Exercise" drop down with the exercises available for that
body part. To change what exercises are shown for each body part, choose
"Lists" and "Exercise List" from the menu at the bottom. You can continue
entering exercises by hitting the down arrow after you fill in your set. If you
need to move back up to make a change, use the up arrow. When you are
done, click "OK" or choose the green check icon at the bottom. There are
also icons at the bottom which allow you to add a new set, or delete the current
set.
An easy way to
enter your sets is to use the "Templates". You can access this by clicking
on the "Templates" menu at the bottom of the Strength view screen. Mobile
Coach comes with templates for some different exercise routines, and the bottom
half shows recently performed routines. Select the template you want
and click "OK", and your sets will be filled in from the template or prior
workout! You can add your own routines to the Templates section as well by
choosing "Templates" and "Save As Template" when you are viewing a workout that
you would like to keep as a template.
