I was asked for a review of MyFitnessPal and the bottom line is this, MFP is Very, Very Good. With the free, and comprehensive, calorie counter plus a free membership and a great forum this is a superb way for people to slim down.


In fact it’s so good I joined up myself as I am always having to lose weight due to sitting in front of a computer most of the day.
Yesterday I set up the system which took less than 5 minutes - just a few questions for your personal database and then entered the food I had eaten that day and the exercise, (or lack of!), that I had done.

Once all your details have been entered just save everything and you are done for the day. A nice touch is that you see not only your total calories but the information is also broken down into what your Carb, Fat and Protein intakes were for the day as well.

Their online food database is great in helping you to plan meals and snacks. Below is a screen shot.

You simply type in your food, in this case potato, and above is the screen that pops up. MFP has around 80 different types of potato in the database for you to select from.

Some of the choices available for selection for the humble potato are Fast foods - Potatoes, hashed brown, Potatoes - Frozen, french fried, par fried, cottage-cut, unprepared, Snacks - Potato chips, made from dried potatoes, sour-cream and onion-flavor and even Sweet potato - Canned, vacuum pack (Sweetpotato). You can see there are plenty of varied choices for each food item.
