fatsecret Platform API Documentation

Takes the set of exercise entries on a nominated date and saves these entries as "template" entries for nominated days of the week. By default, the template daily exercise entries for all users for all days of the week are:

8 hours of "Sleeping"
16 hours of "Resting"

his method is used to take the saved entries on for a nominated date and to copy them for one or more days of the week as the template daily exercise entries. So, for instance, if a user records 1 hour of walking, 8 hours of sleeping and 15 hours of resting for a particular day in their exercise diary, and then saves that date as a template for Saturday and Sunday, these three activities will be presented as the default exercise entries for all future Saturdays and Sundays.
