Found Livestrong.com today thanks to the brand new BlackBerry App Store.
Very cool!
The site has lots of great hints/pointers for living healthier and tracks your food/caloric intake throughout the day as well as what you burn with exercising. I was surprised at just how many nutritional facts could be found for various foods on the site. Things like Costco’s brand foods, a random can of green beans, various food from restaurants etc., etc. In addition to the basic tracking, the site itself has loads of free tools and offers additional tools with a paid subscription.
Add to that the BlackBerry or (iPhone) app and you’ve got one amazingly powerful tool.
Speaking of, here’s a chart of my day one intake…
That yellow slice of the pie, 45% of my caloric intake for the day, is literally a slice of pie! One slice of pizza pie that is – 776 calories!
Good thing I avoided the Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit from Whataburger this morning. Saw that it was 663 calories before I left home this morning. Add 200 calories from the hash browns that come in a combo meal and you’ve got half your day’s recommended calories. I opted for the Bacon and Egg Taquito (387 calories) instead.
But looking at what you’re eating in a visual manner like this is sure to be handy.
What have you found to help you?
