The Daily Plate (Livestrong) – Similar to MFP.

Has the ability to track calories, exercise and measurements such as weight, hips, legs, etc.

MyFitnessPal – One of the most popular and the one I personally use.

There are also other side benefits of using these sites like learning more about food, how it affects your body and whether it is beneficial to your health.Ī few websites that ketards often use are: There are the obvious benefits such as knowing exactly how many carbs you have eaten or how many calories you have consumed. They are utilized to track the number of calories that you are putting into your food and therefore into your body.
