Thursday 13 #6 - Diet Tools
This week’s Thirteen covers some various diet tools that I’ve found through my travels, readings and researching - some of them are pretty helpful too!
Have a good one to share? Leave it in the comments
- Weight Loss Calculators - macro-nutrient ratios, body fat %, etc.
- Weight Loss Calculator - BMR, BMI, RMR, etc.
- NutriDiary - Tracks food, calories, and weight.
- FitDay - An extremely popular on-line diet tracker.
- Spark People - Diet and exercise program that has now removed its fees
- ExRx - Animations of hundreds of exercises (by muscle group)
- NutritionData - Has comprehensive information on most foods.
- Calorie King - Has comprehensive nutritional info, but their Portion Watch tool is unique - it has photos of different portion sizes of many popular foods. (Note that CalorieKing’s diet program is fee-based).
- PeerTrainer - Diet and exercise program - where you become part of a group.
- Diet Facts - As well as the standard foods, has manually-entered data from many restaurants
- CalorieCount - one of the largest, searchable, organized food nutrition databases (more than 40k items) coupled with a food log, activity log, personal weight loss journals. You can communicate with our more than 70,000 members on the forums and by making friends with similar interests.
- StartYourDiet - Free online weight tracking diet program
- Nutrisystem - great online diet diary and weight tracking - Nutrisystem is a fee service
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Has my husband been talking to you? /:) Just kidding! But, he just tonight told me I needed to lose some weight! Guess I’m going to have to quit computing.

Welcome to the 13. I use generic calorie counters, and just go to the gym a lot.
