Hello, I'm preparing to change to calorie counting after my surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I've been useing a total food replacement as I can't really stomach enough to be healthy. I've ended up losing 120+lbs since last August and have about 30-40 more pounds to go.

Now I have used my net diary before, but I was wondering if any of you think there are better ones out there for calorie counting.

I use My Fitness Pal which works for me, big database and easy to scan food in.
Never used any others to compare though.

wow i just had to look at my fitness pal its so complicated. I normally do everything in grams and i cant find half the stuff i want on there looks like ill be sticking to mynetdiary. I just need to figure out how to do meals like MFP dose as that is the only thing a liked about it.

I only work in grams too, and i have no issues?

I normally use the app scan the food and enter.

Ten seconds. Easy

Humm I'm going to keep playing with it. I love the bits of it. Once I'm eating more regular I'll give it a better go. Thanks I'll try scanning stuff tomorrow.

What sort of foods are you looking for? Sometimes you have to go into the serving size menu to select the gram measurements from the options. I cook from scratch a lot of the time & the recipe calculator has been fantastic.

It took me awhile but I did figure it out. Heh just very different from what I'm used too.
