What to Look for in a Food Diary

Not all online calorie and activity trackers are the same. Look for one that is easy to use, allows customization, has a large database, can be easily accessed, and gives members a way to connect or communicate with other members. There are many online calorie counters to choose from, but not all applications have these important features. I have been using nutritional analysis systems since the mid-1980s and I'm picky. I won't give up accuracy for simplicity.

One reason why I write for MyNetDiary is that I think it is an excellent web-based diet and exercise program. The features that I find extremely useful are:
No manual upgrades
Users do not have to manually download or upgrade the system or food database. This is a big deal. I won't bore you with how many hours in the past 20 years I have spent on database upgrades and have lost customized data. I look forward never to performing a manual upgrade again.
Food database is huge and is growing regularly
New foods are added to the database regularly so that it grows and its new information is immediately available to all users. Without a large database, you will either have a less accurate calorie intake assessment or you will have to spend a lot more time entering your own customized foods. Currently, this database has more than 515,000 items.
Accessibility
In addition to being accessible from any computer with internet access, smartphones (iPhone and Blackberry) can now access the program. It is not easy to find a program with a large database that also has smartphone access.
Community forum
This is where members can write blogs, create group teams, get technical and nutrition-related questions answered, and read nutrition articles. Forums help members get support, ideas, and be connected with other members who are also trying to reach similar goals.
Less typing
Entering food and portion size is easy and requires minimal typing. The program starts searching the food database as soon as you start typing a search word, remembers previously chosen food or portion size, and uses the abbreviated search word on the diet intake screen but prints the full food name on all reports.
Option to add new foods and recipes
You can enter a new food item or recipe right in the middle of entering a day's diet. This saves a lot of time since it is a 1-step process. I have worked with many systems where adding a new food item or recipe was a multiple-step process. This is much easier.
