Diet/Exercise Journaling Websites

[MarlaSinger]

I only know of two, Fitday and sparkpeople.

So far, I am a little more keen on sparkpeople because there are more options when entering food, including different brands and restaurant food, plus it's really easy to enter nutrition information manually.

I also love the sparkpeople fitness maps. You enter your walk/jog route on a map, your time and weight, and it calculates your speed and theoretical calorie burn.

What is your favorite? What are your favorite features?

I did my steps on the walkacrossamerica website and walked from Del to CA ADBB used to have a challenge there we tracted and posted here.

I used fitday for foods and I use the custom foods to enter any foods not found there that I eat espically my recipes.

I started with fitday so carry on with it, but many others here love sparkpeople!

Having USA-type restaurant foods info is of no use to me over here, so I just look stuff up as and when needed, write emails, make phonecalls and set up custom entries for frequently visited places I go to and meals I eat.

There is also All Things Food and Diet - FatSecret.

Where is the restaurant information coming from on Sparkpeople? The restaurant or some individual?

If an individual, I would double check their work ... it might not be accurate.

Most fast food and chain restaurant foods have been entered by sparkpeople. You can search for member-entered foods, and I agree, if you search this way it should be double-checked!

On sparkpeople you can also make a 'food grouping,' so, if you are like me and eat the same combination over and over again, you can add them to your daily total with a click.
