| | Not sure if anybody else has heard of this or uses it, but from what I've found it's one of the best places to look up food calories. It has a lot of information for tons of different restaurants, including some that aren't available on the restaurants own website. There is also an area to find out the number of calories burned by all kinds of activity, and it's based on your age, weight, height, and sex, so it's more accurate than a lot of general lists I've seen out there. CalorieKing - Diet and weight loss. Calorie Counter and more. Exercise Calorie Counter

| | The exercise calculator didn't give me some insanely high numbers for 30 mins of exercise so it does seem to be more precise.
I've heard good things about calorie king before. Wasn't it JP that offered it up a while back, too? Or maybe that was calorie-count.
I know the only way I can keep on track and lose any weight is to track calories. I also like to track P/F/C grams, too.

| | I don't remember if anybody else posted about this before, I forgot to check. I found out about it through a program I'm doing through the gym.
One of the other nice things about the site is that it tells you in the food section how much of different kinds of exercise you have to do to burn off the calories in the food.

I guess this just serves as a good reminder.
