Calorie Counting

[JohnRyan]

To those who may be interested in a more thorough nutrion tracker, I use cronometer.com when I want to check my food intake.  This is a much more detailed approach to identifying good and bad calories.  You can create recipes and serving sizes.  It will tell you your intake of each vitamin, types of fat, gives you a break down of sugars, etc...

I find this helpful since we all need to try and balance out our Omegas, and it helps differentiate carbs from sugars. 

The recipe creator is very helpful since I make a lot of homeade salad dressings, dips and salsas.

If you are concerned with having to log the same foods on both sites, you can just enter "calorie" into the fitbit food log so you can keep tracking calories in vs. out with your fitbit.  Enter the number of calories that Cron-o-meter gives you and you're good to go.

Hope this helps!

It looks as though you can also import your fitbit data into Cron-o-meter so it knows how active you are and will adjust your calorie recommendations accordingly.
