Fitness Website

Hi,

I just wanted to talk today about a very good fitness website that will help you stay on track with your fitness goals. The website is Myfitnesspal.com. The website is free to join and use.

On the website, you can enter your weight loss goals and it will calculate your nuitritional needs based on those goals. It tells you how many calories you should eat, how many carbs, how much protein, etc to be able to lose 1-2 pounds per week which is the healthy way to lose weight.

It also has a huge food database where you can keep track of the food you eat every day and it compares it to your goals to show how you are doing for the day.

There is also a section to add your workouts. This is helpful because it will take your workouts into consideration when calculating calories. For example, if the website tells me that I should be eating 2400 calories a day to lose 1-2 per week, but I burn 600 calories in my workout for that day, I can still eat 3000 calories for that day since I am at the 2400 overall.

Take a peek at Myfitnesspal.com. I really do think it would be beneficial to your weight loss goals.
