Weight Loss and Health Tools
This page is for the sharing of tools that we found useful on our weigh loss journeys whether they are ones we made ourselves or ones we found elsewhere, if you have one you would like to contribute, feel free!
I plan to work on a tool that will include some of these all in the one spreadsheet but that won't be ready for a while, while I work on this site.

FOOD DIARIES/JOURNAL:
FitDay Online Food Journal (American) *Note* Americans include fibre in their carbohydrate totals on their nutritional information and labels but we don't.
Nutridiary Free online food and exercise diary
FOOD DATABASES:
Dietclubs food database Even though its Australian I am very weary of their database for fresh foods as it has recently changed SIGNIFICANTLY, I've spoken to them as well as food standards without any resolution. All I can say is food standards didn't find dietclubs data for a vegetable I gave them match any of their databases that they have from various sources, so beware when it comes to fresh unlabelled foods. There is some discussion on our forum on this: Important: Dietclub nutritional info
