#34 Health on the Web


This Thing focused on the online tools available to assist you losing weight. You sign up , fill in the food chart and the activity chart for a typical day, and it calculates the number of calories consumed compared to the number of calories burned. I used FitDay.
Firstly starting this just on Christmas was not a good idea (this pav was just tooooo much temptation), but I found it difficult to find the correct food entry or serving amount to really reflect what I ate (the Americanisms didn't help).
The pie-charts I found useful and the breakdown of the elements eg. Fats into saturated & monounsaturated, and the nutrient RDA (recommended dietary allowance).
