I just signed up with The Daily Plate.

For anybody who uses it, how does it work for you? Do you find this a better way to track your meals, do you still write it down in a journal?

[lottie63]

I don't write in a journal but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the daily plate. (the original, not livestrong, I hate that.)

it makes everything so easy. If you'd like to add me as a friend there my sn is alicia0099

I was thinking of using daily plate also But changed My mind Since I have dial up internet and Kids who take over my computer LOL! I always keep mine logged into a journal here at home~But i think daily plate seems like an excellent place to keep track of things.(Just not sure it would work for me since I get limited computer time.) But wanted to say I Think if it will work for you GO FOR IT.

Thx Lottie, I added you.

It looks like a good way to track my foods, and I like the ability to add manually.

I love it! I tried fitday for a while but went back to the daily plate because it just worked so much better for me. I love being able to manually add calories, it makes things so much easier.

I just joined last night. It seems to be pretty easy to navigate. So we'll see how it goes

The Daily Plate is amazing! I've been tracking everything I eat on there since December 1st. I LOVE how you can put in your exercise that you did -- and it calculates how many calories you've burned because of your current weight. I also like how you can put things from restaurants in there, and even create your own meals. Since I almost always eat Special K for breakfast, I just have my different variations, with a cup of skim milk, saved under Meals - it makes it a lot quicker! I too tried FitDay for awhile, but I swear by TDP!

I think TDP has the most comprehensive list of foods and activities... it's also FREE. I've paid for other services (2 years ago) and they haven't come close...

I actually bought a paid membership @ TDP to support the site because I think they're so great.

I also have the app for my iPod and that is really useful when I'm out.

I've been using the daily plate for a year now and I love it. I need to pay for the upgrade so I can use it on my blackberry. I don't care for the livestrong version either, I've just stuck with the original.

[Kataclismic]

Another fan of TDP here! I love the saved meals option and the frequently eaten foods or frequently used workouts. Great program! The forums are full of good diet and fitness advice too!

[MonteCristo]

I love TDP. I especially like being able to make meals. I probably have about 30 at this point. Since I don't have an extremely varied diet, it makes things so easy!

it seems like something it goes automactic to live strong though. Do you know how to turn that off?

also, anyone who wants to add me....my sn name is the same as it is here.

BornToFly, I get the same thing, goes right to Livestrong. But since this is the first time Im using the program I don't know the benefits of TDP without Livestrong so it works well for me.

I always use TDP and I like how wide its database is, however, although I put in my weight, etc., I do not go by how many calories it says I can eat. If I ate over 2000 calories a day, I'd gain all my weight back. I also track my exercise, to see how many calories I burn off, but I ignore the "you may eat an additional --- calories today" because I eat <1600 calories and don't factor in how much I burn off. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but I do love TDP for its wide database and way to keep track of my calories, but I just chose the amount of calories I can eat from another site and go by that.

Ive been using TDP for over a year now as well. I love it. I can find foods that I use regularly on there and if its not in the database, you can add it.
