It's free, and makes it so incredibly easy to track what I eat and expend that it's not even the tiniest bit annoying to use. It also looks at daily nutrition, making me realize I'm getting too much vitamin A and not enough iron in my diet. The 1240 is actually a baseline. It tells me how many calories I have left in the day, and the number increases when I report exercise and decreases when I report food. My actual consumption is more like 1800 a day, but if I sat on the couch all day the max would be 1240.<br /><br />And yeah, girl.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-81878455890875879192011-03-17T14:30:12.373+00:002011-03-17T14:30:12.373+00:00Hey coreydotcom, thanks for mentioning tau-day.

Look it up - there's a cool little website about it (if you care!).<br /><br />Also...1240 seems pretty restrictive (maybe it isn't for a girl...). When I was still playing football and hockey at a high level we were encouraged to eat 4000 a day but I had trouble getting that high (in the calories lol). Now, I exercise regularly, so I try and keep it under 2500 to maintain weight and when I want to lose weight before a race or something I keep it to 1800 - but 1800 is not much so I can only imagine 1240!<br /><br />Bonne journée!coreydotcomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-4238972851499942082011-03-14T15:37:08.483+00:002011-03-14T15:37:08.483+00:00Pecan Pie warmed in the microwave with a scoop of ...Pecan Pie warmed in the microwave with a scoop of ice cream...

Worrying...<b>Ed</b>: I'm not <i>worrying</i> about my weight. Worrying is for things you are powerless over. I've simply done something about it. Pie can form a healthy part of a balanced 1240 calorie per day diet. I will be having tofu pot pie for lunch, for example.<br /><br /><b>Steve</b>: Correct. There is no crossfeed, only crossflow, and look at that I typed "crossfeed." The electrical power is simply to open the valve. I'll correct that.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-56946790105472967142011-03-14T14:03:59.001+00:002011-03-14T14:03:59.001+00:00I thought the short bus was the A319 ...
