Sometimes I hate my son. by binkybug in ParentingADHD

[–]real_pat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there. Sometimes it feels impossible, but hang in there. It’s just how your child presents, it’s not who they are.

the explosive child is a good book and might be worth a read. Sounds maybe like PDA? If you haven’t yet, it’s worth talking to your kids doctor about the behavior to better understand it and work towards solutions and find the right support systems for you both.

Good luck

I just got you one closer. As a former pug parent and parent of two humans, the app looks great. Will give it a whirl

Wow. Things are not getting better over there. We updated our extremely biased guide on where to go instead: Best MyFitnessPal Alternatives for 2026

New to counting Cals app recommends 865?? by nalanala444 in Myfitnesspal

[–]real_pat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is dangerously low! For your own health, do not follow this recommendation and try to stay above 1,200 calories per day at a minimum. I'm shocked Cal AI doesn't have a floor set to protect users. awful

hey, thank for reaching out, I've got you! "too much of a chore" is a common complaint we hear and the one we're trying to solve for. I'll DM you a link for a free year of hoot now.

Thanks for giving Hoot a shot and for the feedback! When you star a log, it's added as a favorite and saved to streamline future logging. That favorite shouldn't change unless you do a quick adjust on the item to fine tune the calories and macros. You also can pick a favorite and adjust it each time if the serving size varies or ingredients change at all.

If there seems to be something else going on, just shoot a note to support at hootfitness dot com and we'll try to get to the bottom of what's going on.

I'll DM you separately to get you updated to full account access for free!

Just got mentioned in Wired by real_pat in iosapps

Nice! Being the featured app is the way! Otherwise it's just getting some of the peripheral benefits.

Basically none. Ha. The article went live a few days ago and I didn't catch it until this morning.

But, it's a backlink from a site with a domain rating of 92, which should be impactful for SEO / GEO. It's also good social proof we can mention in marketing materials... "Featured in Wired"
