FitDay annoyance

After holding a steady weight for the last four or five years, I dropped about 10lbs over the last couple of months -- mostly making weight for grappling comps. So I'm starting a bulking cycle, and I've been logging my diet on Fitday. I was shocked -- Shocked! -- to discover that Fitday will not allow you to input a goal weight greater than your current weight! Bias! Discrimination! I demand satisfaction!

Okay, so it doesn't actually matter. I just thought it was funny.

Change your current weight to your goal weight.

Good idea!

As for calorie calculators and tracking websites I'm a big fan of dailyburn.com. It does two things that I like. First, the food searches are infinitely more simple. I hated on fitday when I entered, "Eggs" and got 17 pages of results and couldn't find a simple scrambled egg until page 3. Second, dailyburn allows you to input individual routines and exercises, not just "did 1 hour of intense weights." It's not a perfect site. But, I think its an improvement on fitday and spark people.

I'm using Fitday purely for the food logging -- not activity/exercise tracking. I looked at a couple of nutrition tracking sites, and it seemed to cover the basics as well as any. Last time I kept a food log, it was a homemade Excel spreadsheet -- this is MUCH simpler.
