Online food journal



Recommended Posts

I went to Fitday.com to try to journal my food today because the nutritionist said she didn't think I was getting enough calories. Fit day is not easy to use.

Can anyone recommend an easy online food journal.

By what I put into Fitday I only ate about 600 calories today and the nutritionist wants 800 - 1000.:thumbup:

Thanks,

Carla

I second TheDailyPlate.com -- much easier than FitDay, as most foods are in their database.

Yah it is - it's nice to be able to search your foods from VARIOUS different brands on dailyplate and have them there - fitday you have to enter pretty much EVERYTHING. I am a former fitday user and when I found the dailyplate I jumped fitday ship like it was going down.

I use sparkpeople.com so that I can track my exercise, calories, and measurements. You can find lots of good recipes at sparkrecipes.com, I think it is.

One nice feature at sparkrecipe.com you can put in the ingredients using a searchable data base and it will give you the nutrition info per serving. I do that whenever I make meatloaf or whatever.

I use: Calorie Count Plus - Free, Intelligent, Online Dieting

It's good because you can track EVERYTHING to do with your weight loss, and it has the calorie expenditure values for excercise as well as a huge database of foods.

The only frustrating thing is for some items unless you've physically weighed them it's difficult to record how much you had.

      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.
