caloriesssss +rep.

[beth]

heyaa. not sure if this is the right place, but lets go for it.

recently i've got very into counting calories (some may say obsessed, i like to think it's a healthy interest) ANYWAY i've been using myfitnesspal but i find it's very vague and sometimes what i want isn't there.

does anyone else have any good sites or even books i could use?

i would write it all down and add it up myself but i fear i'd get far far far more interested if i left the numbers lying around.

+rep to all :)

lolol, I was just gonna come and say YES YOU SHOULD USE MYFITNESSPAL but it looks like you already have! :P I've been using it since late January now, just to see the amount I actually eat compared what I should.

ha, i should really get back into using it. planned so much stuff ahead of time to make sure i was only eating 'x' amount of calories. but now i just calorie-count in my head really.

i do use it but like cause i'm a vegetarian a lot of stuff i eat isn't on there or if it is it's outdated information, I GUESS I'LL STICK WITH IT.

thanks boys.

I use a better program called MyNetDiary on iP2 but it does cost money. I like it better, anyways.

I tried myfitnesspal but found it quite confusing to use. I know you said you would prefer not to write them down, but its an easier option imo. :P

maybe in practise, i just worry i'd overanalyse.

I've never bothered with calories before but my great-uncle's doctor asked him to keep a record... so I thought I'd do it just to see what I eat. :P It's quite accurate too tbh. I eat well under the recommended allowance and it keeps giving me the whole "YOU ARE GOING TO GO INTO STARVATION MODE" and then says how much I'll weigh within 5 weeks or whatever. It turns out that I actually did weigh that 5 weeks down the line.. it's quite impressive indeed.

Have you tried scanning the barcodes of items? Some stuff doesn't show up in the search I've found.

[beth]

LOOOOOOOL!!!! Getting bullied into seeing the counsellor by an app.. :P!
