I just signed up for both sparkspeople.com and fitday.com. Does any one use either and which one easier? I want to keep track of what I eat and how many cals I am getting. Most days I know I don't get enough and others, too many. Any and all suggestions will help.

Thanks in advance.

I started out with fitday.com and switched to sparkspeople.com .

I found spark people had more pre entered food , i did not have to hand enter so much stuff into it. For instance , If i ate Kraft Salad dressing, it has kraft salad dressing, I did not have to use the generic salad dressing they have already in fitday.com and guess or had to hand enter my kraft dressing .

Does that make sense ? sparkpeople for me is much easier and faster

I choose Sp as well. for the same reason coltonwade mentioned. The food calorie tracker has lots more preset options

I've only used Sparkpeople and I'm happy with it. Haven't had a reason to check out fitday yet.

Thanks all. I think I am finding that sparks is easier to use and has more to it.

To expand your choices, I was using Sparkpeople (have done for a few years, off and on) but I've switched to the free version of Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate It has more of the foods I use, and I find it easier to make combined meals, plus I like that the list of foods I frequently use is one the same page I add foods from.

They have a pay option that expands the amount of data that can be tracked, but I haven't seen the need yet.

Good luck finding something that works for you!

I like sparkpeople due to the message boards, specifically.

I really like thedailyplate.com. Amazing number of items.

I used the fitday online and it was ok. I bought their computer download and I like it better. I like being able to put in goals and due dates and track my progress. You do still have the same selection that was online but I add custom foods for the stuff I eat on a regular basis. I never looked at SP but I will now just for grins
