is anyone counting their calories/kilojoules?? i have stumbled across a pretty cool site that lets you set up a free profile, and basically it tells you how many calories (energy) you should be consuming a day in order to reach your weight loss goals, and basically you record everything you are eating, and also any exercise you are doing and it shows your deficit of energy consumed compared to energy burned... i was recording my eating and exercise on an excel spreadsheet so i could keep track, but this program calculates it all for you, and also breaks down your diet and shows you what percentage of protein, carbs, fats etc you are consuming and gives your diet a nutritional rating...

ok it is a little tricky finding the foods to record, as it is american, but once you have found a similar food (ie i had 97% fat free ham, so i found an american brand which was 96% fat free and used that one), you 'tag' the food and it saves it so you can easily find it next time you have that same meal. im sort of eating a lot of foods over and over, so for me its not too bad as i dont have to keep searching for foods to add...

anyways sorry ive wrambled, i just thought id mention it, as ive never seen anything like it, and potentially once u get the hang of it and work out how to find the most similar foods to what u are eating, i think it could be a really, really good tool in tracking your progress etc.

if you google calorie count plus you will find it. im hooked.
