CalorieKing: a review

A friend wrote me about CalorieKing in response to my Fit Day review and my Nutridiary review.

CalorieKing has a super database, with no payment or registration--just go to the top page and type in the food.

Quizno's Turkey Ranch & Swiss? Yes! But only the regular size and I usually got the small. Either way, it looks like a good choice to have eliminated that as daily habit.

Panera's Caesar Salad? Yes!

Ezekiel 4:9 tortilla? Looks like! They call it a taco shell but I use it as a burrito wrap. The nutrients all match so it must be the same thing.

CalorieKing is making money on a number of products, one of which is a Windows-based food and exercise log. I took the tour. It has the meals concept that I liked in Nutridiary. CalorieKing uses a drag and drop interface for adding meals and foods to the daily log--a much more intuitive interface than Nutridiary.

I am already finding that the clunky interface in Nutridiary means I spend more time than I would wish to keep my log. I thought I really wanted the web-based food log, but I think I will take the free trial offer from CalorieKing to see if the ease of use makes up for the fact that I would likely be adding all my foods at once in the evening instead of throughout the day as I imagined.     #
