From what I have seen Fitday is pretty accurate, but if you have something where the nutrition value doesn't match or isn't on the system, you can always add it custom.
I have found Fitday to be very helpful in keeping track of calories. I know there are some other similar sites that offer similar tools, but I am not familiar with them. | Agreed ......many many folks on this forum have nothing but great things to say about Fitday. |

Did you buy a kitchen scale yet ?  |
didnt calculate them due to the fitday problem. today I really am staying back and I played some football too. Im sure next week I will see some results.
today I had for example:
breakfast 7am- 2 weetabix otameals with milk, banana, 3 eggs (2 whites)
11am- medium bowl of corslaw (made out of red pepper and carrots + light mayonnaise)
2pm- fat free yogurt (125grams)
football
4pm- can of tuna with some purple beans and corn + apple
(wasn't at home)
8pm- apple (i had to eat this was starved), 3 medium chicken breast pieces + some veg salad. 6 small crackers. (i was so hungry today didnt have any cheese and turkey avaliable though).
il try to play around more with fitday when I have time. I will see you on msn when Il try since im a bit busy this weekend (big soccer games hehe!)

And again, the next key step is to try and benchmark what your ' typical ' calories and fat, protein and carb consumption is each day. I would try and accumulate 7- 10 days for a benchmark if it were me.  |

Also, what did you calculate your protein, fat and carb grams intake to be from YESTERDAY ? |

| | my email is bzoqmos@hotmail.com. I dont know exactly WHEN i will be there today but at some time I will be though. Let me tell you what we do: Add me, I will accept you and whenever I'll see you online I will talk to you because I wont be on MSN at fixed times but after my college duties etc. thanks for the initiative you are showing to help me.
Wrangell, I havent been calculating how much calories,carbs,proteins,fats etc Ive been taking due to the fact that I dont have a website where do to so. fitday totally confused me, as you know last time a small amount of food amounted to 1000 cals + and I never really got the hang of it. Il be glad to have another less detailed site maybe..
as for today my day was like this:
4am- breakfast- 2 servings special k, apple, can of tuna
4.30-6am fullbody workout + abs
6.15am- brown rice with can of tuna and olive oil (about 250grams uncooked) (is this a lot?)
10am- 2 apples and a fat free yogurt (125grams)
2pm- cardio (30mins jog)
2.30pm- 2 palm sized fish portions + veg salad+olive oil
5pm- 2 turkey slices + 4 cherry tomatoes + 3 eggs (2 whites)
8pm- omlet with 2 turkey slices and veg salad. |

You can do this.
All you need is a pen and paper ( or a spreadsheet ) and a kitchen scale. If the nutrition isn't listed on the food labels of the food you buy, then weigh them yourself and try and find them on this website ( below ) and ( if needed ) try and extrapolate to the amount you are weighing. If it's fast food or packaged food, most companies have nutition data on their own web sites that can be of help.
Then, simply write down your best estimate of calories and grams of fat, carbs and protein for each food item of each meal. Then, total the meals for the day for calories and grams of fat, carbs and protein - and voila, you're done ....it's dead simple! NutritionData.com NutritionData's Nutrition Facts Calorie Counter
