We took my 2-year old son to see Sesame Street Live tonight. The show started at 5:30, so we had to leave at 4:45, which meant we didn't have time to eat dinner before we left. We didn't get out of there til 7:00, so Louie suggested we stop at McDonalds after. I immediately took out my phone and brought up My Fitness Pal. I planned to have a 6-piece chicken nugget and small fries. When I told Louie, he suggested that we get the 10 piece nugget meal and split it. So that's what we did! I'm still a little hungry but not starving, and it's bed time anyway. But just the principal that I ate McDonalds and still kept within my calorie goal...that is pretty exciting!
I really like My Fitness Pal. I can keep track of how many calories I'm eating, how many I'm using for exercise, general nutrition, what I do for exercise, water consumption, notes..and it's not very time consuming. Plus I can scan the bar codes of foods and it will bring it up with the nutrition info. If I want to add it to a meal, I can do that easily. I've rarely had a food that the bar code couldn't find!
