Subject: fat% management: apps and books For this off-season I really want to stress diet and weight management (well more that I need to loos fat % not wieght ). I have tried to do some dieting in the past but my biggest problem is a good app for it.
This is my main problem: I make everything from scratch (minus mustard and katchup ). The DB of the apps that I have used mainly consist of packaged foods or approximations of raw foods. Like a 'medium' banana. What the heck is a medium banana - that has such a huge varience!
Addiontally, when you enter in something of your own, you need to enter all the nutritional data as well, which I don't know.
I'm looking for an app that:
has a complete DB
has nutritional values incorporated
not so overly technical that I need to weigh and measure every proton and electron of food. (some is ok )
Perhaps Its less of a app problem but more a lack of education problem when evaluateing food and entering the data.
I liked Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald. Any other recommended weight oriented reading that is good?
Also, I'm wondering if anyone has employeed Matt Fitzgerald's plan of Daily-Quality-Score instead of calorie counting. How do you like or dislike it compared to standard calorie counting?
Thanks in advance!
