Free Diet Tracking Software

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I use a piece of free software that I got from Spaz.ca, called the CRON-o-Meter, to track my weight and everything I eat. The CRON-o-Meter was originally designed for the practitioners of the “Calorie Restriction Diet”, but it works for anyone who needs to tack what they eat and see the breakdown of carbs, fats and protein. The tool is cool, because you load it on your PC, then you can go and enter the foods and the amounts you eat, and the software will show you exactly how many carbs you ate. Since type 1 diabetics need this information so that they can take the correct amount of insulin, it comes in real handy.

It also lets you track your daily weight, temp and a few other things I don’t use. Try it and let me know what you think…
