Hello everyone!
I found this site through a friend and joined on Saturday! I thought logging the food would be hard and horrible. Actually, this is easy to find the foods-even store brands! I have been a little under my goal calories every day so far and do not feel "cheated".

Looking forward to using this!

Thanks!

    Been using site for a month now, best thing since sliced bread! as you say so easy to find foods and to add if not in database. I like that you can create a recipe by adding all the ingredients and it will work out all cals fat carbs protein etc for each portion.

    Best of luck on your journey.

    Do not go under your calorie goal. There is a little explanation that states if you go under your calorie goal your body could enter starvation mode which means weight loss would be difficult. There was a point where I wasn't eating enough and this website really helped me control my eating habits. The first day I had to force myself to eat a few hundred calories because I wasn't eating enough. I know it sounds odd to eat your daily calorie but you will have a much better metabolism if you do! Welcome to the website!

    Thanks! That's interesting about the starvation mode.
