I thought I would share this with y'all. I haven't journaled my food intake all that dilligently, so starting today, I'm going to log everything. I like this site much better than sparklepeople.com

I know the dailyplate.com is another good one that many people use.

This is exactly what I ate yesterday. I've already done my stuff for today, and I'm super low on calories today. Even with my dinner meal plan added in there I'm only hitting 650 calories for today. But, I hit 70gr of Protein again.

I just joined this site today. My surgery isn't until the 21st but I thought I would try and get in the habit. I've never been one that liked logging my food. It's just time consuming. Its encourage to find out that I won't have to drink protein forever!

I use myfitnesspal.com, and I really like it. I have yet to search for an item that isn't already in there. All the Protein powders, tons of items purchased at costco, etc. Way cool!

Great idea, Tiffy!

I track both my diet and exercise on The Daily Plate. I started back in June before surgery and have just kept doing it. I also like the iphone application, let's me update my "plate" while out and about. It's helped me be more accountable to myself for what I put in my mouth and shows me calories, fat, carbs, sugar, sodium, fiber & PROTEIN. There are lots of great websites that do the same thing - for me, its just tracking daily that is important.

My Droid has an app called Calorie Counter by Fatsecret.com. It's free and works really well. The droid also will scan the barcode on the container and import all nutrition info into your food log. It tracks weight, food and exercise. Also, anything entered on either the phone or on fatsecret on the pc syncs up with the other.

I switched over to myfitnesspal.com because my IPhone had a free App, plus I found that myfitday was missing a lot of foods that I eat on a regular basis.
