Do you consume more calories than you think?

So do you all agree that my fitness pal is the easiest to use? I am asking for my friend. I have mentioned her before. She is 48 yrs old and had a heart attack. Her cardiac rehab program included a session with a dietitian. She was surprised when she was told how many fat grams and calories she was told to have, and doesn't know how to figure it out according to which foods she eats. She said she looked on line and found fitday but it did not have a lot of the foods that she eats.

Yes, I find it VERY easy to use and there's tons of food on there.

Also, it's one of the few where you can set your own goals for calories, fat grams, etc. It's still crude that way -- you can only do it by % and only in increments of 5, but the other sites I tried didn't let me set anything but calories.

Thanks. I will mention it to her.
