“Your database is so much better and the MFP one is not as user friendly as it actually looks.” – LEIPS May 2015 We can put food on the database ourselves with WLR but before the entry is ‘released’ for all WLR members it is verified by the help team.
And at the end of the day, if I am counting calories towards losing weight then there’s absolutely no point in counting inaccurately. “I tried MFP but found it almost impossible to navigate the database as there were so many unverified entries for each food item. It’s very difficult to find an accurate entry for anything on there unless it has a barcode – even then it doesn’t recognise a lot of items” “There aren’t 3000 different entries for a banana in the database here! OK I exaggerate a little but MFP has a terribly unreliable food database that just goes on being added to by its users with nobody checking the entries. trying to enter chicken breast, and the options were multiples of cups or ounces. “.it’s free, but it’s not as user friendly as WLR and the database doesn’t appear to be as accurate. On top of that, if searching the database and finding what you actually ate is difficult, frustrating and time consuming then you’re less likely to stick with it which could really scupper your efforts towards your goals – and that’s before you even start to think about if that database has relevant and useful serving sizes! As one of our members said “Inaccurate data is as bad as no data”.
the accuracy of the database is paramount to your calculations for weight loss.
plug into a food database that has some food diary tools on top and you’re sorted, right? If you’re using a food diary system to count calories in order to lose weight, then you really do need to know that the calorie and nutrition information you’re using can be relied upon.īefore the World Wide Web you had to do this using a pen and paper, food packaging and research. There are many sites and apps available now to help you count calories with a food diary, but losing weight successfully is about so much more!įor a lifestyle change that is going to help you to lose weight and maintain that loss you need somewhere you feel at home – a caring and comfortable environment that is focussed on making things as easy as possible for you. If you’re thinking of tracking your food and calorie counting to help you lose weight then you’re probably considering which online service might be best for you.
