Did you ever wonder how much did you actually eat, do you know if you are over eating or under eating, how does the amount you eat compare with the recommended RDA/RDI for your ideal weight. While the information on how much you had eaten is readily available actually gathering the information and using it is quite difficult and had not practical for most people to be able to do. This website provides an easy way to track how much you eat, in order to know how much you actually eat you need to know the weight of the foods so a set of scales must be used. While you are cooking make a note of the amount and type of each food, after eating and the foods by searching and adding the amount of the correct result.

So one day I thought I must do something about my diet, I know I'll just see what I am eating and and check it with my RDA to see what I need to add or take out to balance my diet. Sounds easy enough, after a day or two of information overload I started this web site. That only gave a me way to figure out my DI and RDA intakes, I still had to find out how much i was eating. Using a digital scale i soon was able to enter all the food I'd eaten into the Diet Analyzer.

I was quite surprised, my diet was way out of balance my diet was and I was eating too much, though i had realized that I had no idea what actual nutrients amounts I was eating even with all my diligent checking of product nutrition labels. The Diet Analyzer indicated my diet had excessive protein, fat and salt and lacked carbohydrates, fiber, sugars and calcium.

It was obvious I had to add some foods high in carbohydrates, fiber , sugar and calcium while cutting down on foods high in protein, fat and salt. Changing my diet was not to hard but it did require a bit of planning for next days food intake while reviewing Diet Analyzer after I had finished eating for the day.
