Calorie Counting Websites
 

Does anyone use the websites where you input the food and it gives you your calories, fat, etc for the day? If so, what site do you reccomend?

I use thedailyplate.com. You can also get to it through livestrong.com. Pretty much everything I eat is in their database. It also gives you a pie chart of the carb, fat, protein ratio that you've eaten that day. It also adds up the grams of fat, etc.... I love it!!!

I also recommend The Daily Plate. I've been using it for almost a year now, and it has helped me tremendously!

I third the Dailyplate. I have refered it to a few family members who have liked it.

I'm a Daily Plate user also! Anyone who is interested in adding me as a friend on there, my name there is the same as it is here. :)

Gotta say the dailyplate as well, just started using it like 2 weeks ago after seeing it on here. I always figured I couldn't do this whole calorie counting thing because it seemed like such a pain, but it lays out everything for you. Awesome site.

I love DietPower, find it easy and helpful to use, although fitday, for example, is better for things like raw meat - need to know for creating recipes etc.
Also, DietPower is not free, $50, I think but there's a free 15 day trial you can fiddle with.

I added you to my friends. I also have the same user name as on here if anyone wants to add me.

Thanks for the recommnedations! I will go check out dailyplate.

A site I find helpful~(Just to check amount of calories burned and needed to eat to lose weight ect Is www.freedieting.com
(I know it's not what your asking for exactly but I wanted to post it for ya so U could check it out too.) But I think daily plate is a great site for what you are asking for today.But if ya get a chance check out www.freedieting.com also~it's a great site.

wendyland and BorntoFly - I added you as friends on thedailyplate. this is my first day on there, I have been using fitday and felt like I needed a change. I am still learning the ropes.

thanks guys! I added both of you. :)

I just joined Caloriecounter.com and am having a hard time believing the amount of calories it tells me I burn and that I should consume. It says that I burn 4,300 calories a day!!!!??? how!? and that I should be eating 2, 750??? I only eat about 1,500 a day and am wondering if that is too low and is the reason why I'm not losing weight as fast (3 pounds a month). I weigh 238, but I am very active, doing about 9 hours of very intense cardio a week (spinning, running, yoga, power walking) ...I don't know, I'm just having a hard time believing I'm supposed to be eating THAT much, that seems like and endless amount of food!! Help

Maybe try bumping up it up to 2000 calories for a couple of weeks and see if you lose more. If you're working out that much, you're going to need more calories. From experience, when I actually ate more healthy calories and worked out, I lost the best. HTH! :)

I like The Dailyplate too for counting for the day. For quick look ups, I use Calorie King. I like Calorie King because you can see the calories and macros by the ounce, gram, and other serving sizes.
