I downloaded trial versions of several programs of this genre. After checking them out, I decided to try working with Perfect Diet Tracker and Calories simultaneously as they both seemed to meet my needs. I've used a similar program available through the gym I used to belong to, so I knew what worked for me.

Perfect Diet Tracker left Calories in the dust for ease of use, particularly the food list -- MUCH more comprehensive! A lot of these programs are heavy on the packaged foods. We eat a whole foods diet, most organic. Most of the things we eat were already in the database (in addition to the packaged stuff). It's easy to add things to the database as well.

I posted a question on Saturday to the developer's website and had an answer on Sunday. GREAT support! My question had to do with using a recipe within another recipe -- no problem!

It would be nice if the recipe/group feature allowed you to enter notes so this could be used to store your recipes as well as their nutritional information, but that's not a big deal.

Tracking exercise and results is easy and simple to customize.

An excellent program of this type!
