New Year, New Goals

... not resolutions. That's so cliche.

Anyway, one of Chad's and my goals is to eat healthier. We found this cool app for our phones that took our (then) current weight and alloted us a calorie ration for each day. We are to log everything we eat and it figures out the calories we've taken in and what we have left. VERY cool. And effective, by the way. We've both already experienced significant (to us, anyway) losses.

The difficulty came in preparing meals we've eaten for years without any nutritional information. That's where NutritionData came in handy. You plug in all your ingredients and how much you use. The site then compiles all that information and produces a nutrition label like you'd see on the side of a cereal box. It is sooooooooooooooooo cool! And very helpful in tracking our daily calorie intake.

Happy healthy habits!

That's awesome! I just recently started counting calories but the phone app sounds a lot cooler than writing it in a notebook. Blah!
