Supertraining

I would like to add one really cool and FREE website...

www.fitday.com

This website will figure out your personal calories and nutrient breakdown, 
it has also activity references of calories per hour, and charting, it's 
very nice.  For a free site it's downright splendid!  It has the ability to 
set up a custom food, say you have something they do not have in a very 
extensive base, yet you eat it regularly, you punch in the data off the 
label and there you are.  It's user friendly and I found I could set up 
something to my personal liking in about 10 minutes.  I will say the one 
thing I did not like was the limitation on setting the overall activity 
level on the initial set up - you could not set it for lean mass or your 
percentage of bodyfat, for example, but for a free site it's pretty good... 
and it does adjust the calorie burn based on your bodyweight at least for 
the activities! (For me, something based on what a 120 lb female burns isn't 
going to work...).  I also double checked some of the settings it gave me in 
my other desk references and it's pretty close!

They have a pay version you can invest in but I've found this free one and 
calorie king to both be very useful.  I regularly send my clients to both to 
help them sort through their nutritional questions.  It's surprising really 
how many people struggle in keeping a good food diary or figuring out just 
what exactly they eat, without a lot of frustration.  This site is pretty 
easy to use when you set it up so they tend to comply more with the food 
diary.
