Calorie counting sites
Posted Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 5:33 PM

Does anyone belong to an online calorie counting sites?
I have an account at Myfitnesspal and Livestrong. Just wondering if anyone else does. I don't count like I use to but I do check some of the meals I eat for a general idea.

I prefer NutritionData.com to any other site. It seems to have the most comprehensive list of foods, which you can customize based on your preferences, dietary needs, restaurants you eat at, and types of foods you eat (eg dairy, pork, legumes, grains, etc.). You can use the My Tracking feature to tabulate a whole day, or the My Recipe feature to create custom recipes.

I also use the USDA nutrient database if I want to get really nerdy about specific foods, but that one doesn't allow total tracking.

I briefly used

But I find I just don't have time or prefer to do other things with my time! Surprised

Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.

Nutritiondata as well. There were some people on the forums talking about the kickstart so I wasn't sure if anyone still here was there.

SparkPeople.com

You can customize your meal plans, enter your own recipes, etc. Also tracks fat, protein, calcium, fiber, carbs, and of course calories. You can enter your exercise for calories burned. You can see other member's foods and recipes. It's really a great site, lots of vegan teams. I am Wild4Stars there also. Visit my SparkPage and check the site out. There is really a TON of stuff and it's all FREE !
