Just tried Food Focus, it's giving me totally different results to what Nutracheck does, not the right products too.

Think I'll stick to Nutracheck, it seems to be more accurate.

How do you know which is the most accurate? The cals in foods I eat most seem to be higher on Nutracheck, but the foodfocus log checks out with a few others I've used? (not exactly but within a few calories). I guess its what you're used to? I'll use both for a while & compare.

Check every now and again with the packets. Personally, I found nutracheck inaccurate. Haven't tried focus.

I chose WLR because the way they administrate it means the calorie values are more up to date than most.

hey, i am here too. although i don't really know what i count as. i'm doing the juddd thing, so i alternate between a very low calorie day (about 500) and a day where i eat what i want, but for me this has to be sensibly with a treat or two. it's an experiment. it's my first day today and i'm going to try it for a week. hopefully i won't get fatter. will let you know how i get on...

abz xx
