You can, its just slightly hidden. Under the "I want to eat X calories in X meals" there is a "not sure?" button. Click that and it will help you generate a target number for your calories.
A question from the other post: What is some one was to create an open-source version of the app and release the code. There is nothing to stop the parents from acquiring a developers licence and running the app on there hardware. Is there any chance of a project of this nature getting shutdown?
Also what is the patent in dispute?
If it is a UI issue, it would be interesting to come up with an alternate UX/UI interface.

I have been burned by so many routers in the past few years. It is amazing how terrible the factory firmware is on these machines. For most of them I have had to install DD-WRT just to get them working. Thank the flying spaghetti monster for open source.
But what I dont understand is why hardware manufactures go out of there way to prevent external software from being installed.
Most companies lock you into their own firmware because it'd be prohibitively expensive to provide customer support for all the alternatives out there.
I never try to kill my self at Hackathons. Go to sleep when you are tired and dont eat crap. At some point you are bound to get only diminishing returns, you should know this by now if you are all grown up.
mcteapot, please realize that people are a mix of lots of different preferences and motivations. I think we can all agree that on the whole, when management says you will get $10k for a certain action, it means that they expect this helps more people do the action. That doesn't mean it's the only reason they do it, or that some of the people who do it after the bonus wouldn't have done it without the bonus. It just means it helps. Otherwise, if it doesn't help, why not call it a thank-you-for-not-parking-in-the-handicapped-space-when-you-shouldn't bonus (assuming that, like most companies, nobody happens to have any problem with not doing this, and at any given time either the handicapped spaces are empty or employees with a legitimate entitlement are using them) and give it to every employee equally? I mean, if you don't expect it to have any effect whatsoever on referrals/behavior...
Also, I want to make a nuanced but important point here. The employer in this particular case is explicitly kind of saying, "yeah, it might have kind of helped at the time, but you're not working here anymore." By that logic, every single person who ever gives notice should have their last paycheck docked if the time to cut the check occurs after they have left. After all, even though the paycheck might have originally helped them work there, they're not working there anymore so that doesn't matter. Why should an employer ever pay the last paycheck? You're not part of the team anymore and the paycheck is meant to motivate employees to work, that's why it exists. "Also, you dropped the database", or some made-up excuse.
I think we can all agree that people don't just work for money, but we can also all agree that every employer needs to pay the last paycheck, even if the time to pay it comes after the employee has left. To me, per my comment that you replied to, the fact that the database thing was brought up means the employer is trying to squirm out of settling a debt; rather than say that it wasn't a real debt.
