One thing to keep in mind about FitDay is that some of the default measurements are just downright scary! For example, when you add mayonnaise, it defaults to 1 cup. You have to manually change it. It also defaults to 1 cup for raw eggs. I enter in my foods, then look at the totals for a good laugh, then go and change the quantities.

Also, it usually rounds carb counts up, which is a good thing, in my opinion. All in all, though, at the end of the day you'll find a fairly accurate count, because it doesn't round up each individual item, but totals them, then rounds up. Then all you have to do is deduct the fiber from the gross carbs.

I love FitDay!
