We’ve wanted to add a Food Diary to Shrinking ever since we started conceptualizing what our web app would do. It’s also been one of the most requested features from our users. So today we’re excited to announce that our new Food and Exercise Diary feature is now available. We have a great solution in place now and it is sure to help our users take their weight-loss efforts to new heights.
Serious weight-loss requires keeping a keen eye on what you eat and how many calories you burn throughout the day. Our new Diary feature is the perfect solution for doing that. It allows you to keep track of everything you eat and all of your activity.
Here are some screenshots of the key features in the diary. You can click on the images to see larger versions.
The new Food and Exercise Diary will allow you to keep track of the food you consume and automatically calculates how many calories and how much fat you are consuming.
Clicking on an individual food item gives you the complete nutritional details.
The Exercise tab in the Diary allows you to enter your daily activities and will calculated an estimated number of calories burned, based on your weight.
The Calendar tab will show you the overall picture. It tells you the calories consumed and burned and gives you the all important Net calorie calculation, which is critical in a serious weight-loss plan.
The Food and Exercise Diary is a Premium plan feature and will be available to all Premium account holders immediately. If you are not a Premium account holder then you can easily upgrade by clicking on the Food Diary tab and following the instructions for upgrading. The Shrinking Premium plan is $3/month and gives you access to the Food & Exercise Diary, Notes, and the BMI Analyzer.
The Food and Exercise Diary is powered by the application that the cool kids over at FatSecret have created. They have one of the best API’s that we’ve ever worked with. Well done FatSecret team.
