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.
Hi Mike
I found your blog and had a read of quite few articles, We have a website http://www.EatatEase.com and a blog http://blog.eatatease.com, they are both by dietitians and from a dietitians point of view. Although we don’t link to any sites from the website we have started to create a list of sites that we believe present well balanced nutritional info on the blog. (I’ve added yours today) It would great if you could take the time to have a look at ours and if you feel its worth while add it to your links.
Good luck with the studies
Dave
