i heard something about counting calories. my bf uses this site, http://www.caloriefreak.com , to count his calories and figure out how many he has left for the day. how safe is this? does it work?
There is so much more to it than counting calories, if you want to do it the healthy way. You should be taking into consideration the fat, carbs, sodium, fiber, at minimum. I would recommend www.fitday.com , it is very in depth, free, and has a lot more options.
I didn't think about this earlier. I saw on the calorie king website that they had nutrition info for fast food restaurants. We have a guide here on the 3FC site that has complete nutritional information. I'm not sure if FitDay has fast food info or not. I keep meaning to log in and try it, but just never get a chance.
You can see it at: http://www.3fatchicks.com/fast-food/
Hey Jen - here's a MUCH better site than Fitday if you want stats (Have you noticed that Fitday doesn't show sugar grams under carbs - that drives me nutz). This is the USDA's Food Composition Data site - it rocks!
