Need recommendations for tracking nutrition and exercise



Recommended Posts

I was using the Realize site for tracking my food and exercise since my surgery because the doctor and nutritionist said I could give them permission and they could have access to it directly on the computer if I ever needed to consult them. Their site is very limited and inadequate. So I wanted to ask for recommendations for tracking all nutrition and exercise. This is what I am looking for...

  • Must be online
  • Must track both food, full nutrition and exercise on one site
  • Must allow for printing out so I can bring them to Dr. (my Dr. wont do a fill unless you bring printouts of the last 2 weeks of food and exercise)
  • I'd like to be able to add comments and notes for each day if possible.

Thanks in advance...I know you guys will have some great info!

I use fatsecret.com and it does all of these things :) Makes nice little printable reports, too. I've printed them and brought them to my nutritionist.

FitBit. $99 for the device, tracks your activity and sleep, allows you to track your food online, and is completely private unlike myfitnesspal, which has legal authority to use anything you post (photos, words, etc) anyway they want. I use Fit Bit in conjunction with The Daily Plate.

I use my plate on livestrong.com you can track Water, fitness, nutrition, calories, and get good articles. Of course I am biased seeing livestrong is headquartered inAustin, TX and Igrew up here. I really Ike the site and one of my goals is to complete the shortest leg of the live strong challenge, 40 mile bike ride.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
