The other day I was looking for some sort of calorie tracker app because my trainer was asking me to provide him with a food diary of my week.  Because I’m lazy and all and don’t want to write all that crap out with a pen/paper I thought it would be easy to use my handy dandy iPhone.  I hit the jackpot with the Livestrong app.  I entered my basic height/weight info and it guided me towards what my daily calories should be.  Upon entering the food I ate throughout the day I found that it had almost everything I ate in its little search engine including the specific HEB cheese slices I put in my pita sandwich at lunch.  On the days I workout I can enter in my activity for calories burned.  After my week of food diary-ing was up, I logged into my Livestrong account online and could print out my food diary and hand it over to my trainer.  Upon review he told me he could see a few problems right off the bat…hmmm wonder if it was those chewy Sweetarts from last Sunday.  Damn you leftover Easter candy!  I’m definitely going to make some adjustments and keep going with the app, it’s sort of addicting!

As a side note, when searching for exercise activities, while it does have a plethora of activities to choose from “Running after 18 month old child” was not an option.
