I want something that's as exact as I'm willing to be.įound this page ( ), although it seems that you don't edit the nutritional info directly. I have a kitchen scale coming so I can more accurately measure my portions, I actually eat my snacks out of measuring cups, etc. I have to spend them kind of carefully, really, if I want this to work.
I know it seems a little militant - but at only 5' tall, wanting to lose 2 lbs per week, I get a whopping 1400 calories per DAY.
#Fitday vs livestrong full
I want the full carbs/fats/protein breakdown to reflect EVERYTHING I'm eating - with no miscellaneous calories and as little ambiguity as is possible. It'll let me add random calories, but the difference between 370 calories of chocolate cream filled chocolate ganache covered chocolate donut and 370 calories of chicken breast and vegetables (or hell, 370 calories of raw almonds) is immense from a nutritional standpoint. Kwik Trip makes the full nutrition info breakdown available in the standard table on their website, but LiveStrong has no where to put it in. Like, this morning, I had a Triple Chocolate Bizmark from Kwik Trip. That doesn't solve the problem though, of any number of food items where it comes with a full nutritional info available, but there's no place to enter it. I'm not completely convinced of the accuracy, but it is easier and probably no less accurate than computing it by hand. You enter the ingredients and it calculates the nutritional breakdown automatically. Trying LiveStrong today, I accomplished this by adding a creating a recipe. Fitday is slow and cumbersome, but I do almost all of my cooking from scratch so this is a dealbreaker for me. Am I just really kind of slow and they will let you do that? Heck, even the meal building only lets you enter ingredients, but not full nutritional info panels for ingredients.
#Fitday vs livestrong how to
In the shape I'm already in, I am going to have to bust my ass to lose at that rate, but I think it'll be good for me.Įdited to add: I was going to try Livestrong but I couldn't even figure out how to get it to let me add full nutritional info for foods not already in their database, which is totally unacceptable for me. I set my goal for the 1st of May, which is right at the 2 lbs/week limit. I am going after my last 30 lbs, and hoping I don't have to lose my boobs to get them. The part where I have to enter my occasional indulgences will make them even less frequent, the measuring/weighing of my meals will keep me from letting my serving sizes creep upwards. While I think it'll be less illuminating this time around (since I'm already pretty aware of what I'm consuming) it has an accountability that will prevent me from taking random bites of things. I went back to Fitday, and started tracking my intake again.
Today I bit the bullet and got serious once again.
