diet 2.0
via cnet.
So here’s a calorie counter, web 2.0 style. At the dailyplate, counting calories and keeping track of food intake is as easy as a few clicks. It lets you enter age, height and target (eg lose 1 pound a week) as well as the brand and type of food consumed, then sums it up in a calendar format.
Aside from the input section, it has an output section. A drop down of various typical activities sums up the energy expended. So yoga is 360 cal/hr, cooking 148 cal/hr and firefighting 1,080 cal/hr. Oh and kissing is 72 cal/hr
Simple interface and guilty warning if I’ve gone over the recommended limit. It also recommends alternatives to some more heavy food, though most of their selection is still very US-centric. it’s still in beta, but looks like a useful tool.
