Online vegetarian food diary tool??

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

In the past I've used a couple of fitness/nutrition websites to track my food intake and it gives me an idea of my daily calories, fat, carbs, fibre, minerals, etc....  Are there any specific websites out there that offer this type of thing for vegetarians/vegans so that I could track mine (and maybe my dc's) daily diet and see how we are doing in terms of obtaining a proper vegetarian diet?  I've been struggling lately and feel like we are off balance and might need to make some changes.  Very hard to do when cooking for 6 people.

I was using fitday.com but it was hard to use, very few foods listed...quinoa wasn't even in there. Now I use www.livestrong.com and love it. It is not "vegetarian" but they have EVERY food you can imagine in there: all whole foods AND any name brand packaged or chain restaurant food I've eaten. For free you can track calories, carbs, fat, protein, fiber and sugars. For an added fee you can track mirco-nutrients (vitamins, minerals). I don't have extra money to fork over for that but as soon as I do I will get that feature. So in the meantime once a week or so I track on http://nutritiondata.self.com/ as well, to make sure I am on track with vitamins and minerals. That one is VERY difficult to use, though...hardly any foods I actually eat in there.
