Daily Plate vs. NutriMirror

(Best one I could get)

vs.



So, I need a calorie counting tool to help me keep my diet on target. Previously, I used NutriMirror, which was kinda nice. But the website crashed occasionally and I had to add my foods in a lot because there data base is pretty limited. I like the different charts they give you to keep on target with different fats, fibers, vitamins etc. I also like the different stats you can put in for yourself (waist size, arm size, thigh size... yea, its scary but helpful). Lets you track your exercise and integrates it into your calorie allowance (30 minutes on the elliptical today!).

Due to its limitations I am switching to the The Daily Plate, which is run by LiveStrong. Has pretty much all of the same features as NutriMirror with out the downsides. Also, they have an iPhone app which will be helpful when I actually get one.

Current weight: 156 lbs.
Weight goal: 148 lbs. Maybe by my birthday, June 28.

This week is a rough week to start on. I work nights where it is so easy to continuously snack to keep one's energy up. Plus, I think I eat during all 24 hours of the day when I work nights.

I'm trying to be good now. I had a turkey and brie sandwich for lunch. Then I had some fruit and some oatmeal for my pre-work fix. I am bringing a bunch of fruit, tomato soup, Fiber One bar (awesome!) and some oatmeal. I know, it kinda sounds like a lot of food. I am not planning on eating it all in one night (can't guarantee it won't happen though), but if I bring extra I am less tempted to go to the vending machines.
