Does anyone use TrainingPeaks to log your nutrition?  If so, what do you think about it?  I'm considering using this with clients. . .

I will comment to give you a data point Penny. I do not use it.

I looked at it when it first came out. Wasn't that impressed. May have changed a lot since then.

I've used it a number of times.  First the good.

1.  It allows you to save favorites.  Since most people generally eat from a certain selection of foods, once they have their favorites saved it is very easy to just drag and drop.

2.  You can create your own food item, nutrition facts and name it what you want.

The bad:

1.  Goes back to number 2.  I don't know where some of these people get their nutrition facts for some of the food items.  You really have to pay attention to what it says. As an example I looked up a  snickers bar once and got several different answers, the nutrition info is right on the packaging yet what they had put down was no where near the correct amounts.

It does work pretty good, it just may take some time getting it set up with favorites as they are added.
