Calorie Counting/tracking Website Advice



Recommended Posts

I am looking to find an easy to use online calorie counter/tracking system. I tried to use the Realize My Success one and most of the foods I entered were not found on the website. Any suggestions would be great. I hope to find one with a large food library. Thank you!

I use myfitnesspal and so do many others from here.

It's easy to use and if you want you can even input you'd personal recipe ingredients into the system and it calculates all of the nutrition info for you.

You can have your food diary private where only you see it, or where just your friends can see it. That helps keep me accountable, knowing people will check out my day. It's also a great site for support and encouragement.

Good luck.

I second myfitnesspal. I used to use live strong, butr after seeing so many people here use mfp, I switched and like it so much better. I love their forum, I've learned so much. Also the App is great for my phone, I can see the breakdown of all my macro nutrients that I've hard for the day right there (which I could not on the live strong app). I highly recommend it.

I use the free app Calorie Counter on my Droid phone.... its hooked into fatsecret.com so you can track online too.

I cant recall the last time I couldnt find what I was looking for. But in the event I do, it has a bar code scanner you just scan package of the food you are eating and poof... its in there. You can track weight and excerise on it as well.

Almost every chain restaurant is hooked in so that makes it super convenient!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
