I know some people are using the online version of Fitday and at least one
person said they have the PC version (Bev?). Is the database pretty
comprehensive or do you have to add a lot of common items?

I've been using DietPower for years, but I'm thinking of switching because
they charge too much for their upgrades. I could get away with using Excel,
but that's more work than I want to do. Neither Fitday nor DietPower have
Palm applications yet and none of the Palm based apps are as comprehensive
as the two PC packages I mentioned. Fitday has the ability to print out
more info and that's a big plus for me since I have to bring in food &
exercise logs to my doctor when I go in.

Is anyone using a program besides the two I mentioned and want to put in a
plug?

I use BalanceLog on my Palm and PC. I liked it a lot during weight loss
but I don't like some of the maintenance mode items but I've gotten over
it. I do like that it is in my Palm and that it tracks calories in and
out (exercise) which is kinda handy. I mean, as we already discussed, I
don't actually use that for dietary purposes but it's still kinda nice
for some reason. I think that someone on the group uses CalorieKing.
That might be a reasonable option as well.
