FitDay Fun

Friday, July 24, 2009

Although Weight Watchers has a lot of cool features, FitDay is almost as cool - and, most importantly, free. And I am thinking on focusing on logging my food there to take lot closer look at how much fat, carbs, protein I am getting, as opposed to just looking at "points" or calories. And also, I can save $17/month, lol.

So, in addition to setting weight loss goal, you can set goals like "no more than 50g of Carbs" or "at least 20g of protein." It even tracks how much you're getting of different vitamins.

And when you do a weight loss goal (I want to be X weight by Y day), it will tell you exactly how you need to change your diet to get to that. And since I am trying to allow myself quite a good amount of time to get to my goal weight, it makes me feel better to see I don't need to be drastically reducing calories or anything. And it takes into account your usual lifestyle to show you how many calories you burn, takes away your "calorie restriction" and tells you how much you can eat per day:

And you can also log your activity on there too, including regular daily activities. I love it! Try it at http://www.fitday.com/.
