in Food and Nutrition
I thought myfitnesspal would be a great community to get feedback on my website I'm working on:

Any thoughts or suggestions for improvement? It's only been since the weekend that I've been working on it, still lots to go :)

    It is good if you are looking for fast food… will you try to get local restaurants on it as well?

    Most definitely, I'm starting out with all the larger chains since they publish their information, then I'll be working my way down to smaller and smaller establishments :)

    Cool. A lot of restaurants are putting their nutritional info online. They are required by law to have it at the restaurant already. It makes sense for them to publish it, especially with the growing interest in healthy food, and more people paying attention to it!

    Wonderful idea! I was just wishing for something like this at lunchtime today before I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings. :(

    Cool idea.

    It's not accurate yet, but when it's more developed, let us know.

    The problem you will have is in my area most of the restaurants are not chains, they are mom and pops. So, you're leaving a lot out. And, that sucks.

    My suggestion is to utilize Yelp or something for restaurants locations, and then, highlight those that provide calorie info. Those that don't, you can offer it to them to be highlighted.

    Yeah, it's only a week old so I'm trying to get all the big chains in first, then I'll move down the line smaller and smaller, it'll get there :)

    Get some of these restaurants to sponsor you, you will be an advertisement for them! Get ahold of Whole Foods, as they have a bunch of food like restaurants, see if they will back you, and get some more stuff like Jamba Juice… present yourself to them like you have here. Of course, create a game plan… but that will make it easier for you to go forward as you wish.
