I'm experimenting with the CRONometer program to track your nutrition intake. Here is today's summary:
I put in my age, height, weight and activity level and it chose a calorie range of about 2400-3000. The percentages are relative to target daily intake. I'm not sure if I'm "active" or "low active" since I'm active for about 3 hours a day and inactive the rest. I set my fat percentage to be 30% so the target is 80g. I'm going to aim for about 2 oz of nuts and seeds and see what that comes out to be. The pie chart at the right shows the protein/carb/fat fractions. Today obviously I am way low on calories and low on fat. I don't know if I can track this every day if it's too time consuming, but it will be interesting to do it for a little while.

One of the nice things about CRONO-O-METER is that you can enter your own food items and recipes (see food menu on the tool bar). It takes a little time, but once they are entered they are there.
But now I am entering recipes twice, once in Blogger. I am trying to figure out how to make this more efficient.
This program is pretty easy to use, and instructive, thanks! I see what you mean about entering recipes twice. At least when they are repeated it will get easier...
The last couple of days I have been using a program called SnagIt, which does screen captures. I added a tool (Screencast.com) to SnagIt that allows me capture a recipe screen from CRON-O-METER and paste it to Screencast. I can then use that link in my Blogger posts. So I am linking the CRON-O-METER recipe into Blogger. That saves a little time, but I don't have an original of the recipe in Blogger.
