hi- looking for suggestions for an website where you can record your daily food intake. Also- why do you think it is better to record on-line versus the old fashioned pen and paper?

I think the dailyplate.com or sparkpeople.com are two of the best sites. They both have huge databases of food you can enter almost anything and it will come up. I would check out both and see which layout you prefer best.

I think it helps me be more accountable and accurate. It also helps tally my Protein, fat & carbs. It is truly a great tool my husband has been using the daily plate religiously since last July and has lost almost 70 pounds!

Good luck - I think if you start using one you'll appreciate it.

I like www.sparkpeople.com. Don't use a pen and paper unless just for the day to log into this site or some other site like the dailyplate.com

I'm a fan of the Daily Plate. I like that you can create meals that you eat on a regular basis. Good luck!

I love sparkpeople.com. You can track food, Water intake, exercise on there. I haven't been on there for long, but it is definitely making a difference for me. I also have found that sparkpeople has an iphone app, so I can log my food when I'm away from my computer. You'll also enjoy browsing other sparkpeople user pages and blogs. It's all very motivating and you get to GIVE as well as RECEIVE motivation from others.

I haven't set up my user page on their site yet, but I will very soon. If anyone here is on sparkpeople and wants to add me to friends my user name on there is cheri634

I use www.mypyramid.gov I really like it because it tells if you are getting enough protien or not. Jennifer

I use myfitnesspal.com in the past and I really like it. :blushing:

I use the Lose It app on my I phone. It works great and I almost always have my phone so it makes it easy to record things right as your day goes along. That way I don't have to try to remember everything I ate at the end of the day. It also tells you how many calories you need each to make your goal
