Is there a good electronic food journal that you can get that automatically calculates calories and or carbs? What journals are you all using and do you have to manually enter the nutritional information? I know there are websites that you can enter a food and it list the calories, carbs, sugars and other nutitional facts. I am trying to find a good journal and curious what everyone is using.

Thanks.

I am using myfitnesspal.com You plug in the food whether its a name brand or supermarket brand and 99% of the time, it is in the database. It calculates calories, Protein, carbs & fat. I track my exercise also. You can add to the database if you come across a food that is not in there and you can add actual recipes. I love it. I track on my ipad, iphone and my Mac!

I am a big fan of Spark People. I stopped tracking for awhile but I am going back to using it soon. It would be a good idea to have something electronic to keep record I can show my nutritionist.

I love fatsecret.com as well- I use it on computer, phone, and iPad! I also use sparkpeople to compute the nutritional value of recipes.< /p>

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
