Calorie Tracker



Recommended Posts

Where do you track your calories? Or do you even track your calories? My husband thinks I'm way obsessed with this, but it helps me... I think. lol. Anyway, I haven't found a good online calorie tracker (that's free) that I'm too crazy with. Any suggestions?

thedailyplate.com is the site i have used for free for the past year or so, im addicted and rarely skip a day.

however, i think the site is now officially merged with livestrong.com -- its the same thing basically, just a different layout. i've gotten used to the old website, which is why i don't feel like switching over, but you might like the new website. :thumbdown: also, they have groups on the site you can join to look at what other people are eating-- there are even a few lap band groups on there.

hope this helps! i totally believe tracking your calories is the best way to help us lose weight with the band! too bad if your hubby thinks you are obsessed..... i mean, if you are anything like me, you ARE obsessed, but its a good obsession to have!

Sparkpeople.com is my favorite. I tried fitday and dailyplate but didnt really take to either. Journaling is hard for me.

I like the utilitarian, community, and merit focused interface of sparkpeople. In addition to the fitness, nutrition, and weight trackers, there are user specified goal trackers, forums, message boards, and groups, fitness videos, a youtube channel, expert chats and blogs.

Its definately full service/all inclusive and best of all FREE. Oh and trophies!

I use my iPhone and the Lose It! app. It keeps me in check. And I don't have to be near a computer to use it!

      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.
