Livestrong: first thoughts at a glance

I signed up using my facebook account on livestrong.com. I really like how easy it makes it to track your meals! Giving you a real target to shoot for as far as how much to eat.

For those of us who like to see results on paper, and in the mirror, Livestrong definitely keeps a good paper trail. For many, I would think that paper trail might start to include a few less burger king wrappers.

I would not take its calorie goals as the word of God however. Depending on what you select as your normal fitness level, and how closely you track your physical activity, it could be off by a large margin. For example when I selected average activity, my total calorie intake need was about 2200. However, changing it to highly active, boosted me up to needing about 3100 cal's per day.

People would still have to do the work of stepping on a scale and seeing first hand results.
