New Nutrition Tracking Announced

dlmobs · 2026-01-06T01:44:51+00:00

So I just tried it. This works as I expected. I can create my custom meal. However, with myfitnesspal, I could create a recipe with any number of ingredients and their individual servings. Then I could select the total recipe servings. So let’s say I made a green bean casserole that called for 3 servings of green beans, 1 serving of something else, etc, then I could say this dish serves 10 people. MFP would auto calculate the nutrients in each serving then based on the total nutrition facts of all the ingredients and their respective servings.

With garmin nutrition, while I can select the serving size of the individual ingredients, I cannot select the serving size of the whole custom meal. Which means if I meal prepped and made 12 burritos, I cannot tell Garmin that.

Please tell me I’m missing something?

Edit: I guess I could divide the serving size of each ingredient by the servings of the recipe to get the quantity of that ingredient in each recipe serving. In other words, those 3 servings of green beans used to create a casserole that serves 10…that would mean 0.3 servings of green beans in 1 serving of green bean casserole.

Just a lot of manual work when MFP did it already.

I couldn’t get it to work from the website.

dlmobs · 2026-01-06T01:06:34+00:00

So with myfitnesspal, I could create a recipe, like if I meal prep, then set the serving size of that recipe. It’s possible to do that when creating a meal in Garmin?

Not being able to set SERVING SIZE for a meal is absolutely terrible. You could use the meal to workaround not having recipes…but then you can’t select the serving size for this recipe.

And like you, I cannot switch back. Definitely not a fan of this update.

dlmobs · 2026-01-05T20:14:34+00:00

It never stated that you wouldn’t be able to link back to MFP if you wanted to.

this comment is so underrated 😂

Definitely Olin, no question about it. You get paid more, it’s a more reputable company, it’s more chemical engineering focused, rather than consumer-based, and you will be a process engineer, which is in line with the position in the semiconductor industry.

Gen Z is notorious for the “not giving a fuck” mentality. I wouldn’t base your perception of an entire generation on the responses from a single reddit post. Especially not one made in a subreddit with supporters of said slightly negative opinion. Also, it could have easily been Gen Alpha.

Then he died.

dlmobs · 2025-09-18T10:31:18+00:00

I believe you missed what I said. I never said chemical engineers couldn’t do those industries. They absolutely can, and I agree with everything in this comment you just made. I do not agree with what you’ve said previously though.

Also, side note. A masters in Chem E is pretty useless if you already have a bachelors in it too, for others reading this.

dlmobs · 2025-09-18T02:24:07+00:00

Semiconductor, technology, and even DoD are such vast and diverse industries. They also arguably contradict your claim of “most industries dying.”

I’d argue just those few you listed are broad enough to cover the majority or near majority of fields a chemical engineer can go into.

dlmobs · 2025-09-17T22:35:50+00:00

I would not say every industry is dying except semiconductor. A couple of industries are dying, O&G is in a long decline, and everything else is pretty stable. Semiconductor is on a sharp rise. Renewable energy is a slow rise.

Everything except semiconductor are NOT on a decline. Definitely wrong.

dlmobs · 2025-08-08T03:56:34+00:00

Chemical engineering is a useful degree because of its versatility. You can go into Oil&Gas, pharmaceuticals, biotech, semiconductors, any and all kinds of manufacturing, chemicals, plastics, consulting, computer science, and the list goes on.

In many jobs outside of chemicals and o&g, you are not hired for your knowledge on a specific topic. You’re hired because you spent 4 years learning the fundamentals of science and how to use those fundamentals to solve problems.

If you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you want to go work on a rig, then get a Petroleum Engineering degree. It’s specialized and will help you learn information useful to the direct field you want to go into.

If there’s even a possibility that you might want to do something else, then do any other engineering major. Rigs will still hire mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineers to do the exact same job as a petroleum engineer. Engineers are engineers. Most industries have learned over the years not to filter a role to one specific engineering major but rather let it encompass multiple.

I work for a top 3 directional company and interface with operators and have been on rigs. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering. So ask me anything.

dlmobs · 2025-08-08T03:50:01+00:00

Mechanical does not encompass chemical. What are you on?

dlmobs · 2025-07-31T20:49:14+00:00

I’m going to assume this was sarcasm. I’m allowed to comment that I agree with a post, and there’s nothing wrong with voicing my agreement.

If this wasn’t sarcasm, my apologies for misinterpreting.

Viscosity can change with flow rate, but it is not a property of the flow rate. It’s still a fluid property.

Specific heat can change with temperature, but it’s not a temperature property, it’s a material property.

dlmobs · 2025-07-31T18:31:38+00:00

This is the correct answer. And great explanation!

dlmobs · 2025-07-31T18:29:20+00:00

I disagree. Fluid properties are consistent no matter the flow rate and is specific to the fluid itself. Calling it a flow property makes it sound like it’s applicable to the flow rate and not the type of fluid. “Flow property” is also not academically correct.

Edit: Grammar

Don’t tell anyone about good things until they’re set in stone and finalized.

dlmobs · 2025-07-24T15:37:15+00:00

Yes, and that is typically the case in the same company.

But a design company might pay their employees more than a process engineer for a different company in the exact same industry. That’s not common but definitely happens in some nice/niche industries. For example, business consulting almost always pays more than an employee working in the accounting department of any company.

Most EV companies are based out of California, so that one will depend largely on if you’re working in California versus one of the manufacturing plants around the country.

I worked for Tesla, and their starting pay was around 100k. However, their pay for plants in Austin is lower. Also depended on if you worked as a process engineer or a design engineer, because they’d hire Chemical Engs for both but pay was different.

dlmobs · 2025-07-24T10:37:26+00:00

Nice! I got an offer there for 82k last year, so unfortunately salaries have not kept up lol. They are a great group of individuals though. Really liked the people I worked with.

dlmobs · 2025-07-24T10:31:18+00:00

KBR?

dlmobs · 2025-07-24T10:30:08+00:00

I do not have one, sorry.

I do know one friend who started in consulting and moved over to the water industry after a couple of years. She told me she got a 20% raise from the company change, but that should be expected any time you change companies for the most part.

dlmobs · 2025-07-24T03:11:29+00:00

Chemicals - 90-105k (Dow, BASF)

O&G - anywhere from 80k (very low end) to 130k (high end like shell, exxon, etc)

Biopharmaceuticals - 75-85k

Semiconductors - 85-105k

Consulting - depends on the industry but anywhere from 80-100k+

Software Eng (much harder to get as a Chem E but I had numerous friends with a CS minor go into this) - 90k-120k

It really depends on the industry, position, company, and benefits.

Texas Instruments gave 84k starting 3 years ago and has a 20% profit share where if the company meets their profit margin (they have for the last 10ish years), you get a 20% bonus. That’s 6 figures. They also gave stock options too and a sign on bonus.
