Need a Food Habit Tracker Device?

For Food Geeks who want to know more about their eating and activity habits, the Dietitians of Canada has launched an online program called EATracker. It includes a calendar where you can log in your food consumption plus amount of energy expended daily. A big plus is that it is like a diary where you can go back and check your progress throughout time. The eating diary includes a search function by keywords or by food group, so that makes it easier to log in what you ate for the day. I was fiddling around with it, and so far it seems like a good site to analyze your daily eating habits, and also help manage your serving sizes, as each food item is broken down into a typical serving size according to Health Canada's food guide. It does need to have its improvements in providing more ethnic based foods to its food list, but it can still provide you with a general assessment.

Check it out for yourself - do keep in mind that it does not replace medical advice, but is a guideline for you to understand more of what you eat and what you do!
