In your opinion, what Calorie Counter is the best?

[MagicalMaria]

I lose weight by using a calorie counter usually. I eat healthy and exercise, but it help me when I can see how much I am consuming. Plus, I love numbers and budgeting. What are some calorie counters you used? Which one do you consider the best?

[rachiee]

None. I usually know what I want to eat for every meal and calculate the calories in my head (an estimate of course). If its over, or under then I'll change it. But once you start counting down to the exact calorie, you're putting yourself at a BIG risk of an eating disorder developing that you may not be aware of. Usually you become obsessed with calories which isn't healthy.

I lost 80 pounds using SparkPeople. They have an iphone app so it's super convenient.

Instead of using calorie counters, sign up with an organization like Weight Watchers; then you dont' need to count calories for the most part, professionals have done that for you.

Not all caolries are equal. Drniking 1000 calories of alochol isn't the same as consuming that many calories of a balanced diet...thats the problem with counting calories yourself!

I just look things up on link Once you have figured out some portioned meals / side dishes / snacks then you can just eat and know how many calories are in what. Usually people eat the same kinds of food. If you look things up for about 2 weeks you should know everything you eat on a regular basis for the most part.

The faster you stop relying on calorie counting, the better. Budgeting yourself leads to cheating and snacking wherever you can "fit it in". It's much better to simply try your best at eating healthy, low-calorie foods and have the occasional not-so-healthy cheat meal when you really need it, whether you're at your calorie "goal" for the day or not.

use this calorie counter:

look on the back of the food product and it has something that says "nutrition information"..thats your calorie counter. Use that a pen, paper and a calculator.

The only calorie counter I've used is on fatsecret.com. I've been keeping track of my food intake on there for a year.
