The site I am going to talk about this issue is www.fitday.com. I have been on this site for about eight months now, and I am addicted to it. I am a fitness and health freak to begin with, so when I found a web site that replaced all my daily paperwork, charts, and nutrition books, I was all about it. This site keeps track of all aspects of your health, from calories burned to food nutrition facts to weight monitoring, and there is even a journal for you to note anything you need to about your health.This site is easy to navigate with a menu bar on the left and easy to read fonts. It couldn’t be more user friendly. Once you join this site, the first thing you do is fill out some information about yourself, so that FitDay can accurately monitor your progress. The survey only takes about five minutes to fill out. It asks you for your weight, height, age, sex, level of fitness, and a few other small details. Once this is saved, you can then start using FitDay.
The best thing about this site is its calorie calculator. Instead of using a nutrition guide and flipping through hundreds of pages to find out the nutritional value of your meal, you can just type in the name of the food, and it will automatically bring up the nutrition facts. You can also input a custom food and its nutritional values, so you can get a more accurate count on your caloric intake. FitDay then saves the information so you can view how many calories you have eaten throughout the day. Another cool feature about this is that it also shows you a pie chart that breaks down how many calories came from fat, carbs, and protein. This is great for watching your weight.
Another great feature is that FitDay monitors everything on graphs for you. This is great, because it allows you to look back over your progress to analyze it and figure out kinks and fix them. You can look at graphs of your caloric intake, weight, activities, nutrition burned, and whether you met your nutritional requirements. You can look over them in weeks, months and up to a year back. This is much easier than graphing all of this by hand.
The weight monitor is great. It places your weight on a weight-height chart, so you can see if you are at a healthy weight, moderately over-weight, or severely over-weight. It also allows you to set a goal weight and date. So if you weigh 200 pounds and want to be 180 by December 25, it will tell you how many pounds per week you need to lose in order to reach your goal.
This site is great for keeping you on track to reach your goals. When you can actually see how you are succeeding or failing, you are more likely to keep on track and reach your goals. So whether you are a bodybuilder or just someone who wants to shed a few extra pounds, you should get on this site. Try it for a month, and I bet it will make a difference.
