  • Do any of you know of any web sites that are good tools?

    Like Calorie tacker/counter or food diarys/journals? Things like that?

    Thanks!
  • I'm really fond of Fitday.com
  • I like TheDailyPlate.com a lot.
  • I use livestrong.com / the daily plate which also has a free iPhone app which I use.
  • FoodFocus.co.uk !
  • I like caloriecount.about.com

    good forums and good calorie tracker
  • I love Sparkpeople.com I am an addict. It has an nutrition/calorie tracker, fitness tracker and you can create your own little page and keep a journal too. It also has forums, and teams you can join. Plus lots of articles and advice and even videos. Very cool site.
  • I like calorielab.com
    It tells you how many calories are in the food you eat. And how much calories you burn doing certain excersises.
  • One that I enjoy is caloriesperhour.com -- I use this to calculate how many calories I'm burning. It's very motivating!

    I'll second the recommendation for sparkpeople.com -- that site is endless. There are subgroups there for everything!
  • I love hungrygirl.com
  • I really like The Daily Plate/Livestrong - it has 90% of the brands of food I buy (even store brands).... however, it's been DOWN a lot lately, which is very frustrating. I have limited internet access at work, so I can't keep checking back on it just to track my breakfast.

    I'm going to be looking at some other sites during lunch, but has anyone else been experiencing lots of downtime with TDP??
  • I'm a spark user but I supplement with nutritiondata.com for items that aren't in the spark database.

    No, I visit that site several times a day and I have never had the problem you mentioned. Now that I think about it, I don't recall ever having any problems at all with it.
  • I use calorie count right now, but have used and liked sparkpeople and fitday in the past.
  • Thanks guys! I haven't notice any problems with TDP in the last couple of days, but when I was having issues it was in the early mornings (5am-ish)... maybe they do site maint. then or something? I wasn't having problems with any other site.

    I looked at some other calorie count sites and sparkpeople is good, but I still like the huge food database that TDP/Livestrong has - although adding your own recipe is less than stellar (and I see there are plenty of comments about it on TDP message boards).

    Everyone have a good weekend!
