I'm having difficulty finding a *free* application that will allow me to enter my own nutritional guidelines (high protein/low carb) and then report my progress against my daily food log. Which electronic application do you use?

I've looked at several and it seems like they all want to charge me a membership fee if I want a daily report that compares my intake with custom designed goals.

Would you please let me know what you use? If it's not on the list, then reply to this message after pressing the <Vote> button and let me know what you use. I will add to the list as we go along.

It will be interesting to see what everybody uses. Don't forget to hit the <Vote> button.

Much obliged,

I use "MyNetDiary" on my I-Pad2. It is fully loaded! Not rated very high because it costs $10 so many people are afraid to purchase it without knowing what they are getting.

Seems the free apps are the most popular.

Anyone that's using myfitnesspal can look at my diary. It's not always the best and don't use it as what you must do but I try. Feel free to friend me here and there. Same username.

Thanks to everyone for replying. I joined MyFitnessPal.com & you were all correct... it is easy to use. WayneF, I'm having the same trouble you are, but I suppose I can ignore the calorie thing? That's my plan anyway.

See you guys on MyFitnessPal.com!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
