  • Atkins software for PDA/Blackberry?

    Is there any? Does anyone have a link to something like that. I would love to have something like fitday on my blackberry to stay up to date while on the go, or even just to measure something I might eat while on the road.

    There's not specific Atkins ones that I've come across, but I know there are programs you can put on PDAs (I used to have one on my Palm). If you go to tucows or something like that you should be able to search for one. I don't know what would be shareware vs. freeware or the advantage to things. I wish I could remember what I had since it was great and did track all of the grams and percentages and everything...

      I don't have a PDA/Blackberry, but I did a little searching and came up with three options:

      Atkins Carb Counter - sold through Atkins website and runs on both handhelds and PC
      Weight By Date - another option for syncing between PDA and PC; also not free.
      Diet Organizer - $20 software specifically for the Blackberry. Offers a free trial download.
      FitnessPlus - freeware food and exercise journal. Not sure how user friendly it is.

      FitnessPlus was the only thing I found for free that looked like it could be incorporated with this WOE. There were several other options ranging in price from $20-$50. I have not personally tried any of these applications though.

        I use fitday on my blackberry. I don't like the blackberry browser for it but opera mini works great if you have unlimited internet for it.

            Lyssie- if you remember, let me know! I don't really like sharewares either.
            Eric- I might have to download that one, especially if it's freeware. The worst that can happen is it doesn't work for me...
            Quotidianlight- I didn't even think to use fitday on it. I wasn't sure how it would adapt to the browser. Some websites don't function properly so I wasn't sure.
            Thanks for the suggestions guys!

              desert rain, the blackberry browser is just miserable and a lot of sites don't work on it but the only sites I can't use with opera mini are my bank or other sites with certain types of security certificates. I like using fitday on it because I'm not stuck with just my computer or just my phone.
