I just started a Fit Day account. Check out my public profile. I've gone back and inputted my weights since starting LCHF in January 2011. So far, Fit Day seems pretty cool.
There are definitely some positives, i.e., I like seeing my weight loss charted on a graph. What can I say, I'm a visual type of girl ;)
I do have some reservations about their nutrition tracker. I had chicken soup today for lunch. Fit Day's "chicken soup" recipe that they analyzed for nutrition contains about 10 grams of carbs per cup. Considering that my soup was mostly broth, chicken, and some veggies (no rice, noodles or potatoes), I'm pretty positive that my carb intake from the soup was quite minimal.
So, the nutrition tracking of homemade foods is probably going to be iffy. Unless you are eating completely whole foods (1 cup of raw broccoli) or major brand food items (1 cup of Cheerios), the carb counts in your food are going to be off, maybe even way off.
I will investigate how to get around this and report back...
