Does Anyone Use Fitday?

I was wondering if anyone used fitday.com to track their intake? It is a great little program if you haven't heard about it before. It is free. There are tons of nutrition information already on it but you can also add custom foods. You put in all of the foods you ate along with the servings and it gives you an overall look at your daily intake. You can see how you're doing nutritionally. You can also plug in the fitness things you have done that day and it will let you know, based on your weight and height, approximately how much you've burned.

I have never kept a food journal or anything like that. It just always seemed to time consuming. I think this thing is great though because after you've put in a food once all you have to do is click on it to enter it again. It has really helped me to realize what I'm eating everyday. I just wanted to share! :D
 
I think a large group of us are either using fitday or sparkpeople.... I'm using fitday. Thanks for sharing none the less...
 
i'm glad i've found this forum and found this link to fitday.com, awesome site. for the first time i'm actually able to keep a record of everything - but, i do have a question

how important is it to put activities down like activites - standing, reading, and things like that? if i don't include these things will it skew my numbers by a large margin? right now i'm just putting down everything i eat throughout the day and my excersize routines
 
I don't think it will matter too much. Stuff like standing doesn't provide too many calories burned unless you do it for a long time.
 
I agree, just put the things that are out of your norm. For example, I have my lifestyle selected as seated work. But, these last few weeks we have been moving the office, so I put down some hours in "Moving", even though it wasn't technically my workout for that day.
 
I don't use fitday, I used a program called CalorieKing. I've looked at fitday but I didn't really care for the layout of it, calorieking is a program I bought online and the layout is easier for me to use and it's much more polished looking.

That said, I never can stick to entering everything in....

Fitday is about as ugly as you can get, I have to agree. Sparkpeople is a free alternative that is a lot better looking as well. I ended up going back to fitday as it is much easier to enter and find food on a daily basis.

Fitday isn't terribly good at food listed in its inventory, but dietfacts.com can import directly to fitday and dietfacts.com almost always has the information I'm looking for.

I hadn't heard of that site before. Thanks for the info.
 
I use fitday every day....and only when I feel like a lazy bum do I enter 'laundry' or 'sweep the floors' :)
