I code and can get pretty in-depth on my work so this would be nice and I would rather have it in this program and have it feed iCal or such.ģ. just a quick way to put the scheduled meal in your calendar. (Probably relies on #1 in part) Add a meal alert to the calendar. Meals: the ability to set meal times (so you know when you ate and such).Ģ. I did give it a 4/5 on Features because I see some things that would be nice to have:ġ. Bug #1 was fixed with version 3.3.0.1 and the #2 with 3.3.0.2. with the low cost of the software versus getting that kind of support it seems to be well worth it. They responded back quickly and i gave them the info they wanted. Then I found another small issue with reporting so I sent a support request. they were working and fixing it on Jan 1st. They emailed the same day asking for some additional info. I haven't have very many issues with the program, but I have reported 2 issues (bugs). the real gem of this program is one very big thing. I like that fact it can support linux since I've been using linux for 15+ years. The program is also cross platform and can run on windows and linux. The program runs nice reports and gives you the ability to dump data to CSV if you wanted your own external stats. The database is stored in sqlite3 and they support dropbox if you want to sync between your desktop and laptop or such. It lets you set your own macro nutrient ratios. It helps you set attainable goals for weight loss. You can track your exercise and add custom exercises. You can track weight and many other measurements. I've used this software for a while and version 3 has been out since last April. Tracking exercise and results is easy and simple to customize.įigured it was time to write a review. It would be nice if the recipe/group feature allowed you to enter notes so this could be used to store your recipes as well as their nutritional information, but that's not a big deal. GREAT support! My question had to do with using a recipe within another recipe - no problem! I posted a question on Saturday to the developer's website and had an answer on Sunday. It's easy to add things to the database as well. Most of the things we eat were already in the database (in addition to the packaged stuff). Perfect Diet Tracker left Calories in the dust for ease of use, particularly the food list - MUCH more comprehensive! A lot of these programs are heavy on the packaged foods. I've used a similar program available through the gym I used to belong to, so I knew what worked for me. After checking them out, I decided to try working with Perfect Diet Tracker and Calories simultaneously as they both seemed to meet my needs. I downloaded trial versions of several programs of this genre. Very good customer support from people who care. I have learned with the help of the software to get back control. But for the first time I can really relate to what types and how much food will cause what consequences. I can look at the history in the software and see the dips and curves and straight lines and know what period that was "when I was really trying", "when the holiday came and we let ourselves gain a couple of pounds", that sort of thing. From June 2011 until now I have lost over 43 pounds. I got serious when I found this program and started being accountable. It caused me to start noticing what calories came with eating what - and just by the routine you develop of daily (for me mornings) entering your food diary, putting in your BP, making some notes of what may have affected a gain or loss - these build good relationships between you and you food and activities and the software is most helpful to get you in the habit with positive experiences to reinforce. They followed up - not so usual these days when everyone is so busy. I happened to have bought mine with the Mac App Store - so they were kind enough to let me use non app version while it went thru the approval time warp at Apple. They responded back fast, worked to resolve it, and issued an update. I did have occasion to find a small glitch early on that I documented and sent to them. Everything seems to be well thought out and simple as it can be made but you can drill down to more if you need to. What you typically eat will come up at the top of your favorite list - saves bunches of time looking for your foods - they are fast and easy to add. Perfect Diet Tracker is easy, 95% of everything I eat is already in its database - it is not difficult to add others. The prettiest software in the world doesn't do you any good if you are not motivated to come back and use it. I checked out most every current "diet tracking" prorgam I could find and worked with a few to see how easy or hard they handled.
