My Fitness Pal - Free Calorie Counter

Losing weight is one of my goals. I want to drop a few pounds, eat healthier, and exercise more. I know to do this I much start calorie counting as well as make a conscious effort each day to exercise. Tracking my progress not only helps to keep me motivated but is a good reminder to see if my new routine is working.

My Fitness Pal is a free calorie counter and more. You can keep a food diary, track your exercise progress, and monitor your progress all from a clean, user-friendly interface. Sign up is simple and took less the 2 minutes.
Here is a look at the add an exercise screen. After searching for an exercise, you will be taken to a page where you choose your exercise and put in minutes how long you performed it. My Fitness Pal will then show how many calories you burned.

When updated, you can check out the exercise tab to see how your exercise for the day stacks up with your daily and weekly goals.

The Food Diary is broken down into sections: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack. Click the add link to search for a food to enter into your food diary. You can also put notes as well as keep up with your water intake. If a food is not in the MyfitnessPal database then you can add it. Just grab the nutrition label to have all the information at your fingertips.

You can also run reports to compare your nutrition, fitness, and overall progress for a certain calendar period. If you are geeky like me, graphics and charts are always fun. MyFitnessPal.com is not only a calorie counter but offers moral support through their community forum. It’s free, fun, and easy to use, which makes MyFitnessPal a great tool with any weight-loss regime.
