Weight Loss Toolbar

When you mix weight loss and technology the result is a toolbar that keeps track of your calories and fat intake. This tool bar is provides a simple easy to read way to know where you stand for the day, and to be sure that you don`t surpass your daily allowance. Keeping an eye on what you eat, especially during this time of year, can be difficult. Luckily, the free online diet site and calorie counter database, Calorie Count, has released a number of new tools making it easier for users to stick to their weight loss goals and avoid the temptations.

In addition to the toolbar features, Calorie-Count.com users can analyze their daily nutrient intake and activity expenditures, maintain diet logs, communicate with other dieters, and take advantage of a constantly growing database of foods from popular restaurants, supermarkets, and food manufacturers. The service is not specific to any one dieting method and is the perfect complement to followers of the Weight Watchers, South Beach, Low Carb, and other diet programs and methods.

Calorie Count visitors can now download a web browser toolbar, available for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, providing quick access to the site?s database of more than 40,000 foods and activities, user accounts, and an innovative new feature called the Eat Meter. The Eat Meter provides a thermometer-like gauge that warns users as they approach or surpass their individually defined daily calorie limit. As a constant visual reminder, it provides a great way to not only stay on track, but also to better understand the effects and impact of frequently consumed foods.
