Fitday vs. other sites? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

WakeMeForSummer · 04-26-2007, 08:44 AM

I just discovered www.thedailyplate.com-- has anyone used it long term? I have used fitday for about 8 weeks now, but I hate having to add custom foods..

I have used fitday on and off for a couple years now I have not been really good about it. But I just looked at the daily plate and that looks really neat it seems really user friendly and I like that my breakfast food was available and I didnt have to enter it! I have already joined!

Fitday can be a pain. I went ahead and shelled out the 20 bucks for the real version, and I like it so much better. Lots and Lots of graphs!!

I'm not using anything right now, but the only site I've used in the past is fitday. There's a thread in the support forum about calorieking.com vs. fitday and lots of people seem to be saying they like calorieking better

I just checked this site out, I really like it! It's definitely easiar to track your calories... the only thing I don't like is it doesnt have all of the charts and stuff. I will probably switch to this site though, fitday gets old.. I HATE typing in the custom foods, and sometimes you can't type in the custom foods because you don't have the information. I also like that you can put foods from different restaurants on this site. Thanks for the tip!

Ohh.. I do like graphs...... :-) But, can you use it from anywhere? I like that I can log on at work or at home-- does the real version give you that option?

I like the looks of dailyplate, too-- it's so HAPPY !

No

That's the only bad thing about it.

I checked out the Daily Plate too, but where the devil do you enter how tall you are? Right now it says I have a BMI of 0 (heh, if only!).

I've just discovered *********** - btw, that was me asking about calorieking v fitday in Support

- and I much prefer it to fitday. You know how you can add custom foods on Fitday, yeah? Well, you can do that on SP too, but you hardly have to; the way it works there is that any time ANY user adds a custom food to the database, it's available to ALL users. Brand name stuff, and all that. There's also recipes that you can use, then click "add to my calorie count" or whatever it says, and it automatically adds the entire recipe for you.

Wow - thanks for sharing the Daily Plate site - soo much quicker to use than fitday!

Flutterby873 · 04-27-2007, 03:31 PM

While I do like the charts on fitday, overall the daily plate is so much easier...thanks for sharing!!

I just checked out the daily plate. It's totally worth signing up for.

Ready2ShedLBS · 04-28-2007, 08:33 AM

I use spark people, the site that Nikaia was referencing.. love it! :O)

helpmelose · 04-28-2007, 12:25 PM

I have been using it for the past couple days and I really like it! Thank you sssoo much for sharing this with us!! I noticed today that groups can be created, what dose everyone think about making a group for 3 Fat Chicks? Any thoughts?

WakeMeForSummer · 04-29-2007, 10:18 AM

I think that's a really good idea-- specifically a 20-somethings?
