2. The Biggest Obstacle
• If you’re attempting to lose weight or maintain a
healthy and balanced lifestyle, one of the biggest
obstacles is that of eating out.
3. The Nutritional information
• While some restaurants will disclose their
nutritional information on a readily available
source such as their menu, there are many
that do not.
4. The Dieter’s Worst Nightmare
• For some places, their foods are a dieter’s
worst nightmare. However, there are several
websites and resources available that bring the
nutritional information to the public so that
they can make informed decisions.
5. Calorie Apps
• Not only are there websites that allow you to
view nutritional information, but there are
also apps that allow you to see it while on the
go.
6. Websites
• While there are many websites that claim to
have the nutritional data of most restaurants,
some have more information than others.
Some of the most thorough websites are:
• www.calorieking.com
• www.calorielab.com
7. Highly Acclaimed Websites
• These sites are highly acclaimed and are
known to have the nutritional information for
over 500 restaurants and include thousands
upon thousands of foods.
8. Checking The Restaurant’s Menu
• These are useful in regards to the fact that
they allow you to check a restaurant’s menu
prior to leaving and deciding what the best
option is at that given location. Many of these
are now also incorporating the ability to create
a profile and track what you eat.
9. Monitor What You Eat
• Monitoring what you eat can be incredibly
important if you are trying to lose or maintain
a certain weight. The added benefits of some
of these sites are that they have also developed
phone apps in order to make their data
portable.
10. Phone Apps
• You don’t always know exactly when or where
you’ll go out to eat, so having the ability to get
on a computer to check a nutrition website is
not always feasible.
11. Phone Apps
• That is why many sites such as:
CalorieKing and MyFitnessPal have created
phone apps that allow users to take all of the
information of their websites with them.
12. Location By GPS
• These apps let you quickly choose a location,
by GPS or by searching, and then sort through
the menu items to make a selection. These
apps also typically let you record what it is
that you ate in order to track your personal
nutritional information
13. Calorie Counters
• There are many calorie counters available, but
some are more in depth than others. Sites like
myfitnesspal, calorieking, and calorielab all
allow you to choose foods from restaurants.
This allows you to stay within your nutritional
limits even while eating out.
14. Using Websites & Apps
• This means that you do not need to be
confined to eating only foods that have a
nutrition label or ones in which you
know the exact ingredients.
• Using websites and apps, it is now
becoming easier than ever for you to
keep track of everything that you eat and
achieve your nutritional goals.
