Living a healthy lifestyle includes learning from our past.
There are many diet apps, meal journaling apps, so why did we create LogIT HD?
Because we wanted something simple, something informative, something that helps us learn from our past.
LogIT HD helps by informing you about the calories (or values) you have available during the next 7 days. So if you have 2000 calories that you can consume each day to meet your goal, then youre allowed 14,000 a week, this means you can be careful all week in order to eat that Pizza on the 7th day without going over your weekly calories.
Perhaps one of your goals is to consume less sodium, LogIT HD helps by tracking that information for you where you can see it so that you can make decisions quickly.
LogIT HD also allows you to record your weight as often as youd like and provides you with the previous days consumption so you can see any correlation of weight gain or loss to food consumption. You can even view your weight loss or gain over time, year over year.
LogIT HD can help by keeping track of your blood pressure, physical body size such as your forearms or thighs, neck etc. then you can compare your last several measurements to see how things are progressing towards your goal.
LogIT HD provides your recommended daily allowances for you to see how youre doing in meeting the RDA while at the same time permitting you to override the RDA for personal circumstances.
One of the biggest strengths of LogIT HD is our Histogram - a quick means for you to compare the last 7 days consumption broken down into the periods of day such as Lunch or Dinner, Snacks or Breakfast along with how much exercise credits you have earned.
LogIT HD has thousands of food items, including FRENCH items ready for you to search but also allows you to add your own. Any food items added automatically gets added to the entire community so all benefit.
LogIT HD permits the ability to add a meal consisting of many food items - simply add the items that make up a meal and LogIT HD calculates the total nutritional elements.
Rather than searching on a food item that you consume frequently, you can instead go to the day you consumed that food item and duplicate it to the current day, this makes entering your food consumption easy.
Choose the favourites icon to view just the food items you consume the most, again making it easy to enter your daily food consumption.
So learning about your history means educating ourselves on what were consuming.
You dont have to be precise, its not about that, its about at least understanding how many calories on average a particular type of meal or drink is so that eventually your mind gets conditioned to know this quickly. So if you look up a cheeseburger, there may be many cheeseburgers listed - choose one that best describes what youve consumed - dont get too hung on on being precise.
Pat yourself on the back for the regular exercise you do by recording the exercise as you get approximately 100 calories credit for every 20 minutes of exercise.
After 7 days tracking your meal consumption and exercise patterns, LogIT HD reveals your lifestyle, your average daily consumption. Its then that you start to make changes to align to your goals.
Dont do anything drastic as that rarely results in lasting change, choose a goal of having 100 calories left over each day or reduce the % of fat youll consume each day - simple goals that wont make you feel exhausted or frustrated but instead youll start to live a healthy lifestyle one calorie at a time.
Nobody truly enjoys tracking their food consumption but try it for just 7 days and see the difference being informed makes in your daily life.
