Hey erin - I saw the pic of your
bookshelf.. Your hubby has the 'llama'
book!! I love o'reilly books, they're
great. I have the 'perl cookbook' and
'essential system administration'.. And a
heap of other ones (mostly the perl ones)
as pdfs from when a workmate got a
subscription to .A.S.P.N!
Nice
loren.

computers in the house and we have 4
websites and my hubby is in the process of
writing number 5! Lol!

Mike and I wrote it when we went on a diet
two years ago. You can log in and add
what you eat each day and use it to count
your calories or keep track of what you
eat. It already has about 40,000 foods on
it from the .U.S.D.A database, or you can
add your own foods and save them to use
again. It keeps track of calories, fat,
calories from fat, saturated fat,
monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat,
protein, cholesterol, sodium, potassium,
carbs, fiber, vitamin a, vitamin b6,
vitamin b12, vitamin c, vitamin e,
calcium, copper, folate, iron, magnesium,
niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin, thiamin,
and zinc. You can also log your weight
everyday and see a graph of how you're
doing with your weight. There's even a
recipe calculator so that if you make
something and you don't know how many
calories, etc, you can input your
indgredients, and it will calculate it for
you.

That is great. I remeber when I used to
count calories, it was so hard when I made
food to guess what I had ate. So instead
I just kept on eating things from out of
the vending machine ,b/c they have the
clories on the back. Great diet huh!
That is really cool! But, I have a
question: can you just add calories to
your daily food log? I mean, for things
you know how many calories they are, but
aren't on the food list?

Yeah you create your own food, you give it
a name, and you have to specify at least
the total calories and two of the
following: carbs, fat, protein. From the
total, if we have two of those three, we
can calculate the missing one. And it
saves it in your list for later use too.
