Calorie Counting Resources

August 28, 2007

If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that I am not a big believer in counting calories; but there are times when you need to know what is in a food (protein, carbohydrates, fats).  There are three resources that I use time and time again to find out the nutrient content of foods - fortunately they are all free.

USDA Fooddatabase - This is the gold standard of free sites as it contains much more than just information on protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

FitDay - This is a very popular “food log” program that I use regularly (I actually use the paid version of this).

Calorie-Count.com - This site is great for finding information on commercial/prepared foods.
