DIET and NUTRITION
If ever there were a dietary site that had a comprehensive food component, it's Calorie King. They profess to have the largest food database one the Web, complete with the invaluable nutritional information. Extremely interactive, there's a tool called "Create a Meal" where you can graphically drag and drop foods on a plate and the total calorie count is estimated. It's still in production, so there are only a few options at the time of this writing.
Here are just a few of the recipes that are available on their website:
- Low-Fat Creamy Chicken and Veggies
- Vegetarian Lasagna
- Grilled Hawaiian Beef Kabobs
- Cajun Spiced Sweet Potato Wedges
EXERCISE
The Calorie King website has what they call the Active Living Center where there are a collection of fitness articles. You can also get their Nutrition and Exercise Manager software to keep track of your activity and results.
CONCLUSION
We would be hard pressed to find another web-based diet resource that is as reasonably priced and effective in conveying nutritional knowledge as Calorie King.

I downloaded the Calorie King software 1 week ago and I LOVE it. I just input the food I'm eating and it tracks what I've eaten and how much more I have to eat for the rest of the day. This works for me - after 1 week following this I am down 4.5 lbs. I am eating every 3 hours and staying within my calories for the day. LOVE IT !!!
I have ben using CK for the past 2 weeks and have been consistently loosing about 2.5 lbs a week. I have lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I feel great and don't feel like I'm starving myself. Love this program.
Love it! I have used both CK and sparkspeople and found that CK has a much better food database -accuracy wise as well as food choice selection. I think it's worth the $45. I'm wondering about the membership which is purchased separately from the software. I haven't purchased that yet ($75/yr.) Is it worth the money?
Don't like the database set up, to busy on the eyes

nahhh; this dont work at all ;;soryy! dont believe TV
Just about every meal and foods are in this food database....I find this one of the easiest to use quick look up calorie tools and it is free!
There are so many other services out there similar to calore king I can't justify paying $50
I haven't had the success that some I have spoken to but calorie king has great tools that help keep you on track
Considering other programs out there with their monthly fees, I was happy to see that calorie king was only $50!
I found SparkPeople.com to be comparible... for FREE.
I've been using CalorieKing now for 60 days and I've lost almost 35 pounds. What I love about it, is that its membership prices are cheap and has a great community to go with it.
Love it! For only $50 per year I can learn how to eat the right foods while tracking my progress with no pressure from some counselor, and on my own schedule. I have combined CK with my regular Curves workout and am finally seeing measurable (as in my clothes are fitting looser) results. If you are a motivated self-starter, CK will work for you.
dietking is not bad for $50 a year. So many other online websites charge monthly for the same thing.
