I decided to separate my ramblings (posted here) with my tracking - which will now be posted here:
One Day At A Time To Success. I get anal this way.
Just a short recap on my goals for the next week - I'm keeping the ones I already have and adding 2 research items: Find an online food diary other than My Food Diary.com and research pedometers and buy one.
So - what means do you use to track your food intake? I don't want to join the community, but I do want one with a fairly robust food database that has allows users to add their own foods and recipes. Right now I'm looking at Calorie Count and Calorie King. I like the look and feel of both. I know that Calorie King is more robust, but I haven't found a way to enter my own recipes. That's important. D and I don't use many prepared foods and we cook from scratch - using real food.
Do any of you use a pedometer? What has been your success? What kind do you use? Do you like it? What are the pros and cons? I have used pedometers in the past, but get very frustrated when I count the steps and compare what I counted to what the pedometer said. Are there any ones out there that are really accurate?
We're doing our taxes this morning. Er, D is doing our taxes. It's not pretty - on many counts.
I have been using myfitnesspal.com and absolutely love it!!! It has most of the foods that I eat, and if it doesn't it is very easy to add it to the database. You can also enter your own recipes quite easily :)
ReplyDeleteHey Maura,
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up on some blog reading--you've been busy! Looks like you're doing a fabulous job. For food logging, I use fitday.com. I've been using it for over 10 years to log my food and I have all my custom stuff in there so it's easy for me and I haven't wanted to "re-do" all that info into another online data base. I've been avoiding doing my taxes--eww.
