My sister in-law Ashley had a baby about a month ago, so one big thing on her mind, besides my adorable one-month-old nephew, is getting back to her pre-baby weight. Over cupcakes and coffee for breakfast at her and my brother's house for Thanksgiving weekend (we both agreed diets take a break at the end of November), we discussed the hassle of counting calories.
Ashley told me about fitday.com, a free calorie-counter and fitness log, which makes it easier than ever to keep track of what you eat on a daily basis.
I can remember taking a Nutrition class during my freshman year of college where we had to keep track of our daily caloric intake using special software we could only get from one of the campus computer labs. It was an interesting, eye-opening project, but having to hang out in the computer lab to do it was not conducive to accurate bookkeeping. Fitday gives people an accurate measurement of calories being taken in, as well as a good estimate of calories being burned through various activities during one's day.
There's also a premium version that can be purchased for extra perks, but the free portion is helpful enough, and it's certainly better than looking up calories in serving sizes yourself and keeping them in an old notebook. We all know that lasts about 2 weeks tops.
