Food Diary Software

Dear User,

Should the food diary predict how many calories you should eat? The answer is absolutely no.

Software should not predict how much you should eat. This is because each person has its own unique physical and emotional complexities. The software may tell you to too much or too little and you can get into trouble.

The best thing you should do is visit the doctor or dietitian. If you have any illnesses such as diabetes or problems with your kidneys, or other illnesses, you have restrictions on food intake that the food diary cannot predict and should not. Only a doctor and a registered dietitian can guide you in your food intake choices and exercise choices.

In fact you do encounter a food diary that does predict how much you should eat or what you should eat, you better stay away as this is a sign that the software developer is not responsible.

One thing you can do is pick up a book on diet and nutrition and get to know the ins and outs of the die to need to follow. Then use our food diary to follow that. Still you should double-check with a dietitian as some diets are dangerous such as the Atkins diet.

One thing you should be aware of while selecting a diet that diets that promise incredibly fast weight loss results are false. You shouldn’t be losing weight fast. It should losing weight gradually. And it is also impossible to lose weight fast aside from losing water weight.

To conclude, no responsible food diary should tell you what to eat or how much to eat. Doing so could be dangerous to your health. You should read a book and visit the doctor or dietitian or both.

Dear User,

By far, the most challenging programming task of a food diary is the user interface. A second most challenging task in programming a food diary is the sheer amount of work.

Our food diary doesn’t limit you to our diet, or to our way of looking at dieting and exercise, or limit you to our lifestyle.  No.  You can select whichever diet you want to follow such as low carbs, high protein, high fiber, or any other diet and tracking with our software.

Our food diary is a generic diet tracker and planner that allows you to take control of your diet and exercise.  Produce the graphs and reports you are looking for in order to satisfy your weight loss goals.

Unlike other food diaries on the market, we do not charge you a monthly fee.  Our software is a single one time fee and you can use it without limitation for as long as you would like.

Furthermore, since our software is a desktop computer software and not an online web site, you do not have to be connected to the internet to use the software.  Plus, our diet software works much faster than a web site where you have to wait for each page to load.  We have a ton more features in our food journal than all online food diaries.

This all translates to a better tool and thus better odds of you succeeding in using this tool to lose weight.

A great thing too is that you can email us whatever features you want to see added to our software.  We do listen and respond fast.  You may just see what you asked for added to our diet software software within a few days of requesting it.

Our customer service is excellent. You will get prompt helpful support.  You are not dealing with a huge company that has rules and regulations that can make someone pull their hairs out in anger.  We deliver the best thing you are looking for: software that takes care of business.

Our food diary is, we believe, the best on the market.  And if you find a feature else where that you don’t see in our food journal software, email us!

The idea that you what you want when you want is a destructive to your weight loss goals.  However, also to decide what to it can be destructive.  If you don’t know what you need to eat and what to avoid then you will certainly fail even if you do plan.

The food diary will allow you to go ahead and plan the future meals, foods, and exercise based on the information you see

gathering before you eyes as you enter foods and exercise into the Diet Software.

Getting a strong feel for what is good to eat and how much to exercise, and what type of exercise, is what the food diary will cause you to develop as you use the software logging every day.

This will develop for you a scientific approach to weight loss as opposed to guesswork and hearsay.

The Diet Software alone is one tool that will get you on the right track to understand what makes you gain weight and what makes you lose weight.  Otherwise, you are just up for guesswork and to put all that effort into dieting and exercising based on guesswork alone is not dumb, and can cause you the failure and depression of not succeeding in losing weight.

The food logger took 10 years to develop. This is not because the Diet Software is technically difficult to program.  It is because it is a massive amount of programming.   Just the quantity of programming necessary to perform all the graphing, reporting, data entry, and screen design is daunting.

This all pays me back when I get emails from customers who say I lost 100 pounds, I lost 50 pounds, I lost 20, pounds.  And the idea is that the information will be accessible to you in a clean, professional look and feel.

After all this work,  you can tell what is the difference between other competing programs.  They all do the same thing.  The distinction comes in the cleanness, professional and sleek design that will give you the taste to want to continue to log your foods.

Plus, due to the massive amount of programming that is required other food diary programs do not have all the reports, customizations, and screens our Diet Software provides.

This is all set out so that you can get a clean idea of what to eat and how to plan your future exercising and eating to successful weight loss systematically.

The mere fact that all your eating habits, exercise progress and medical values are shown in one place for you to analyze, report, and scrutinize with these reporting tools is major plus of the food diary.

You  no longer have segregated thinking about your weight loss.  But a whole view of weight loss.

You can read about all day about bad foods and good foods in nutritional literature.  You can read about what to avoid, and what to try.  But you will never know which foods are actually in your diet that are destroying your chances of losing weight unless you log your foods with the diet software, and keep a look at the nutritional values of the foods.

With this in mind, the food diary gives you a strong feel for each food you consume during the day.  As you log each food you see it’s nutritional makeup, and while your legs are still sore from the exercise you come to real decision to eat well.

There is much guess work when you don’t keep logs, or if your logs don’t contain the nutritional makeup of the foods.  However, the Diet Software allows you to see exactly what goes in and what comes out and the weight loss level you have achieved.

This is a gold mine for succeeding to lose weight especially in situation where you tried many times to lose weight and failed.

The awareness you develop when seeing the calories count up and or down as you enter food into your food diary log, gives you the power and strength you need to stay away from too much food, and the wrong food the you specifically have a taste for.

Just the food awareness you get from using the Diet Software is worth a thousand words.

Basically, whatever you eat, you have to burn, or it turns into fat.  Your body needs a certain amount of food to sustain itself.  Beyond that whatever you eat you must burn in exercise.  Exercise is extra energy you expand beyond normal body functions.

So if you don’t know what you are eating, and you don’t know what and how much to exercise, you will not have a great chance of lose weight.  Also, when you lose weight, you will not be able to tell why.  When you won’t lose weight, you won’t be able to tell why either.

The food diary allows you to keep track of each food you eat, each meal you eat, what you eat for the entire day, week and month.  So you can see with our diet software where you have over eaten, or eaten something that is wrong.  That is, something that has to much fat, too much or too little of other nutrients.

The food diary lets you also monitor your exercise so that you can get an overall picture of what you take in calories and how much you should take out.

While no one really knows, and no one, can really compute, what you should really eat, you can figure that our with the diet software.  You simply monitor your weight loss over a few weeks with food and exercise logged into the food diary.

If you don’t lose weight, then you know that you are eating too much for your exercise level.  So either increase exercise, or decrease a little of the food you eat.  You continue with this method until you specifically start losing weight, and then you can see how much your specific body needs for to eat and how much to exercise.

This you can also get with the careful logging and precise food and exercise analysis of the Diet Software.

Also, once you get a view of how much you are actually eating you can make an informed and intelligent decision if to increase exercise or decrease food, whichever is more comfortable to you.

It is not true that if you exercise 200 calories, and eat later 200 calories you are not going to lose weight.  This is because the body is not 100 efficient.  it doesn’t covert all of the 200 calories you have to 200 calories of exercise.

There is a lot of calories lost it he inefficiency of the body.  And much more than 200 calories shown on the treadmill readout to actually produce these 200 calories in human strength.

This is because the body is not 100% effect in taking in or exerting out calories.  This is why we actually do lose weight during exercise.  Otherwise, no one will ever be able to beat the odds of food eaten to exercise.

Since no one can computer what is the efficiently level of the body, no one can really compute how much to exercise or eat.  Therefore, logging with the food diary the exercise and food intake and comparing that to weight lose, you can get eventually arrive that exact figures for your body. 

This by eating less, or exercising more, until you arrive at the weight loss progress you are looking for.

This is all possible only with the aid of our diet software.

The Food Diary allows you to see the caloric and nutritional information regarding each food, the same day you eat it, or about to eat it.  As a result you suddenly discover that some of the food you eat in large quantities daily that you devour easily, are actually incredibly high in fat, or sugar or salt.

It is true.  You can have a perfectly wonderful diet plan that gets screwed up by one food that seems to make its way into your

diet.

The awareness of how many calories and fat there is in food is the power of why the food diary will allow you to win the weight loss battle.

For instance, pull up McDonalds Chicken McNuggets in the Diet Software food explorer:

Instantly, you see the large number for the calories.  Plus the huge number for the fat, carbs and protein.  This combination is for a heart attack.  Click on show all values button to see the full nutritional makeup of the McNuggets:

This is the report for McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets 7 ounces.  This quantity of McNuggets is consumed in 5 minutes without notice.  Yet it has over 430 calories of which 28g of fat, and 30g of carbs.

Look at the pie chart at the bottom right.  It is amazing.  You can eat these 7 McNuggets and lose a whole hour of exercising in the gym in 5 minutes.

The Diet Software gives insight into your actual diet that is crucial to understand about what you actually eat vs. how hard it is to exercise these off in the gym.

Also, when you tally up all your nutritional intake for the day, you get a sense of how much you actually eat.  This you cannot do without the food diary– easily anyway.

And when you look at the food nutritional totals for the week, you can learn when you failed in your diet and when you succeed.  All these number that the Diet Software gives us is very important for understanding why you lose weight, and why not.

Without the Food And Exercise Diary, there is no way for you to realize where the pitfalls are in your diet and exercise.

When you look at the general Diet Software’s screen:

You can quickly see how many calories there is in each meal of the day.  You can easily see where the problem lies with the diet.  For instance, the nuts eaten in the third meal account for 36g of fat.

The rest of the meals during the day accounted for less than 5.

You can easily troubleshoot, with the Diet Software, the day’s, weekly and monthly nutritional pitfalls in a glance.  So if you are not losing weight, you an easily spot the problem.  As without our software, you would be at a loss of words why there is no weight loss occurring and you might give up all together.

When you look at the calendar view:

Or the diet & analysis reports:

You can compare each day of the week.  For instance, in the above example you can see that on Thursday and Monday there was a really high consumption of fats, 98g and 88g, 91g on Sunday.  The rest of the week was better.

You do not have to use the Diet Software to restrict your caloric intake.  You can use our software as a tool to learn about your actual diet and what diet actually is suppose to be.

Then you can look at the daily averages, and see that on the average you ate 76g of fat this week per day.  This is not too bad compared to the overall picture.

So with these Diet Software tools you can make the right choices when your diet succeeds and when it fails.  Then you make adjustment to the diet and try again.  Whereas without keeping a food log, you would be at a loss of what to do when weight loss does not occur.

It is official now.  Recording your daily food intake and exercise in our food diary, will cause you to be more likely to lose twice the weight as a person who doesn’t record their daily food intake.  This is good news and certainly justifies the extra time it takes to record food eaten every day.

The Food And Exercise Diary Software is a fully featured food diary, exercise software, and medical diary.

Track your exercise, food intake and medical records.  See clear nutritional and exercise reports.  Review analysis and graphs of your diet and exercise.
