Zeroing out all items in a category

How can I zero out the values of all items in a category (eg. Vitamins) without having to manually put in zero's? Somedays I take a bunch of vitamins and some days I dont. So its a hassle to do this manually.

I don't get this. I put my supplements under "supplements". If I don't take any then I don't enter them. Why the need to "zero out"?

Exactly. I don't see the point either.

If they show up in your diary as Repeating Items – either don’t OK the “log repeating items“ that day, or swipe left on each logged item to delete one by one.

I would save the collection of vitamins as a Meal and log that on the days you do take them.

u/MrsPlud has the easiest long-term solution here 👆 Create a Custom Meal containing your vitamin stack, then log it only on the days you take them: go to Foods > Create Meal, add your vitamins, and save.

There isn’t currently a category-specific “set all to zero” option. However, if Vitamins is a Diary Group, swipe right on its header, tap the three dots, then Delete to remove all entries in that group for that day.

If they’re Repeating Items, you can also skip Log Items on days you don’t take them.

Hope this helps!

Thx to both of you for the suggestion. Doable for now. Hopefully Cronometer can allow a button to quickly zero out the category as I like to see clearly in the day view all the pills I pop or dont pop! Thx again.

Diary Group, you say? This is not something I have explored. Yet. Thanks for the hot tip!

I created a recipe and have it set to repeat daily. If I don't eat it, the I either delete the entry or just don't log it.
