I'm a Mac user and there are some features that don't work. A month ago they promised an update that hasn't yet arrived. Think twice before investing. The numbers you're give may not be accurate.

It was comparable to Calorie King, but free. I think the interface is a little harder to get used too, but it has all the features that you would expect from calorie counting software. Worth looking at if you do not have $40 to spend. I just went through Calorie Balance Diet. It was comparable to Calorie King, but free.

This software has some real potential, that is if they can add some much needed functions to the cookbook and Calorie King Nutrition. Calorie King Nutrition is ok in itself,but needs to add a shopping list function, that combines duplicate items and sorts the list by category. However, Calorie King allows you to keep track of some pretty important areas, cholesterol, sodium, calories, fiber, carbs and fat. It also allows you to post your eating habits on the net. The exercise function is weak and needs some improvement, but works fine. Overall Calorie King beats out some other very popular programs. The closest thing to calorie king is Crosstrainer. However my opinion is the potential of the cookbook. This is where the key is, there are very few programs out there that can take a recipe and add it to your days consumption. Most software packages are hard to use and very inaccurate, in addition difficult to get one serving and then add that to some kind of shopping list. The biggest drawback to calorie king is the recipebook. It lacks the ability to add your favorite foods, the database is not updated or connected to the Calorie King database it appears to be separate. There is no shopping list in the RecipeBook and favorite foods and my foods are not added to the RecipeBook database. I'm sure there are more that needs to be improved but these appear the most noticeable that make this program leaving you with wanting more. Purchased both calorie king software and cookbook.

In fact, NEM has a check-ins feature, that says not to do more than once per week. The benefit - regardless of what I've lost thus far - is that I'm VERY conscious of what I'm eating, and trying to stay within my daily plan. I don't just eat those 5 cookies, or a packet of cheese slices everytime I feel hungry because I can't 'afford' to, based on my daily meal plan. so that's the most immediate benefit I've found. I'll post results along with the follow up review, how about that? :) Julian -
