| Does any one use software for a laptop or PDA that is useful in tracking your food and exercise.
I would like to have foods I use in pull down menus to use with ease to keep in the zone.
Any ideas or comments.
Haruko :) |

| I use Calorie King (www.calorieking.com) on my PDA. I had a heck of a time getting it installed - I have an expansion card, but you MUST install it directly on your PDA internal memory before moving it to the card. But once I got it installed, I love it. Comes with a food and exercise databse with lots of common foods, fast food, packaged food, international foods, common activities, etc. I'm vegetarian, so I had to add a bunch of my less-than-common foods :-) But it also lets you set up whole meals, so if you eat the same thing many times, you can just enter it as a meal and then grab that meal (or exercise routine) rather than re-entering 5 or 6 items every time. I got an email from them that they now have a desktop version and you can sync between the PDA and desktop. Not sure if I'd use it or not.
Oh, one other irk I had with it, when I loaded their new food database, I lost a bunch of items from my history that they had "moved" so the pointers in the meals and history could not find them. So I stick with the old database now, can't imagine they'd load that much new stuff that I couldn't enter in my own database...

| That is helpful. I'm going to wait and see if there are others and then explore them. Does the program allow you to assign the zone block value to the food or you calculate based on the CPF of each food in your head? |

| I just downloaded this program that might have what your looking for - you can enter recipes and it comes out with the block size and nutritional information...I haven't had a chance to really try it, but it takes less than 5 minutes to download and if you don't like it you can always trash it.

| Haruko,
I just use the gram method, not blocks. It also allows you to set your goals for the day in each category, so I set my C, F and P to be 9, 3, and 7 times the number of blocks I need respectively.
