    Yes, I love this! Going there right now…

      Awesome! Let me know what you think!

    Science seriously is awesome. It makes things so much easier!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      It does make it so much easier. That’s why counting calories worked for me. So simple!

    I’ve been looking for software that tracks vitamins and minerals more thoroughly for a couple of months now. I have a subscription to CalorieKing.com but they only track a couple of them and the customer service isn’t very responsive to suggestions. I am going to have to check this out!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      That is so great to hear, Sarah. I like to see the breakdown of the nutrients too. Especially because I am often deficient in a lot of stuff (vitamin D, B, iron, etc).

    I am going to check this out. The main thing I am confused with is that it’s measuring things for me in kcal not calories; I need to check the settings!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Hmmm. Good question! I didn’t know the answer so I googled it. 🙂 This is what I found:
      “it is a science term, a kcal is equal to a common terminology calorie, but in science a kcal is really a 1000 smaller units of calorie, it is confusing, but even scientists use the term calorie to mean kcal” (http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/diet-bodybuilding/what-kcal-24622.html)

      So……..I guess it’s essentially the same thing…

    What an awesome tool. I’d love to use it for weight maintenance! Thanks for sharing Lisa.

    I’m really happy you published this. I would never have known about it otherwise. I’ve been using it for about 5 days now and really like it. In addition to being a good weight management tool, it’s excellent for figuring out where nutrition needs to improve. Within a few days, I found out that I’m not getting anywhere near the potassium or vitamin D I need each day. Now that I know, I can fix it. Yay!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      I am so happy to hear that Katie! I think it’s definitely beneficial for that purpose. I was sorely over my needs for carbs and low in other nutrients. Time to figure out how to eat a little bit better.

      Keep me posted on how it works for you. 🙂

    Hey Lisa–do you use the iPhone app too? I was just wondering if it was worth it. Thanks! I am excited to start really trying this!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      I haven’t had a chance to check out the app yet. But I am all about Apps! I love having the access everywhere I go, 24/7.
