Fitday Vs. Sparkspeople



Recommended Posts

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

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 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 :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
