FitDay: a review

Rick has been teasing me that I'm on the Casablanca Diet. That's the one where I'm going to improve my lifestyle any day now--maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of my life.

In the spirit of getting on with it, I took a look at FitDay, like I promised at the end of my review of Nutridiary.

FitDay is easier to use than Nutridiary. It doesn't have the concept of a meal--so you have to add peanut butter, jelly, and bread as three separate items. Adding items is quite quick, so that might not be too bad.

The database appears to be the ever-present USDA one, but I found it easier to search in FitDay than in Nutridiary. Unfortunately, there seems to be no option to upgrade to a more complete database in FitDay.

The upgrade option in FitDay is to a PC-based version of the software for $20. But that's not really what I'm looking for. I want a food log that is always there--for me, that means web-based so that I can have it on a tab in my Firefox browser both at home and at work.

So, I'm sticking with Nutridiary. And I'm going to get back to using it any day now.     #
