Yes, it does, I have found it to be the most comprehensive website/app when it comes to nutrition. You will find it very helpful!

Here's another good one....Lose It!.....I have this app on my iPhone. My husband downloaded it for me. I haven't really played around with it yet, but he used it when he was dieting and really liked it. You can scan the barcode on something and add it to your food list. It will know all of the nutritional information of that item. Also has many restaurant items. You can also make up your own "recipes". He would put in for example 1 cup cooked penne, 1/2 cup sauce, 2 oz non-fat mozz. cheese and find out the total calories for that dish. Then he named it baked ziti and when he adds that food to his dinner menu it automatically knows the calorie count. This can be really awesome if you have a lot of "go to" foods or food combinations. Once you add a food that you ate, it will give you the total calories for the day thus far, and give you the remaining calories left for the day.

Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that Fooducate also has a paid app for those with specific food allergies and who are Gluten Free.

Just passing on a wonderful website which provides excellent information:

http://www.fooducate.com/

Fooducate can also be found on Facebook.< /p>

You can download from iTunes and it is also Android compatible.

I use this as a piggyback to MFP.

So I checked it out. Did you watch the "Fooducate in Action" video? HILARIOUS SONG!! If you havent heard it, go listen to it on the video. Awesome website. Thank you for the recommendation.

      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.
