Pretty cool, especially for people shooting for a specific nutrient ratio (like the Zone, or the Anabolic Diet's 5% of calories from carbs). Foods that you use a lot can be saved as favorites, and whenever you enter a food into your log, both a table of nutrients and a pie chart showing where your calories come from are updated. The prime food entry screen looks like a nutrition label, which means it couldn't be easier to put the right numbers in the right boxes. The program's got a fairly extensive list of foods built in, and it's easy to add foods that aren't listed. It runs $29, which isn't cheap for something you download yourself and get no paper documentation for, but in my opinion, it's well worth it. I downloaded it yesterday and have spent about six hours playing with the program since then.
Laree's one of the people whose opinions I give a lot of weight to, especially since she had the same complaints about the free version of FitDay that I did. Then last week, Laree Draper mentioned having downloaded the pay version of Fitday and liking it far better than the free online version. I tried the free online version of FitDay and didn't like it, either.

I've tried nutrition software for my PDA and didn't like it. I also have a hard time adjusting recipes based on my needs and calculations, since I've got to rerun numbers each time I adjust a quantity. As such, I keep running totals of calories, fat, protein, carbs, and fiber, but not vitamins and minerals, sodium, cholesterol, or several other things I probably should be tracking.

However, all the math in your diet log is a purely manual affair. They're cheap, they're portable, they're durable, and they look good. That's also where I've traditionally kept my training logs (different books, though-if I lose one, I don't want to have lost both). I've always kept my food logs in Mead composition books.
It eliminates the guesswork about the number of calories, grams of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and fiber that you've taken in, and it leads most people to eat more conscientiously because they've got to either write down what they ate or lie to themselves about it. As those of you who have read my article, The Ten Commandments of Getting Cut, already know, I'm a big believer in keeping a diet log when you're trying to change body composition.
