CalorieKing is the website version of Allan Borushek's Calorie and Fat Counter book that you can buy in any newsagent. It has a comprehensive food database although you might find the book easier to use. In addition to its database however, it has a club that you can join for free (it will become a paid service at some point in the future but I'm not sure when) to assist you in getting to your target weight. You can check in once a week with your weight and measurements and plot your progress as you go. You can also join the forums and talk to other members who are facing the same dilemmas you are. You can take your profile and see what Calorie King thinks is your ideal calorie intake for your particular situation. When you've lost a bit of weight it's a good idea to take your profile again and see if the recommendation has changed. It's a great tool for those who are trying to lose weight, gain weight or maintain weight as if you fill out the profile correctly it will give you a guideline for each of those situations. There are others in the forums who are in the same situation as you and you will find lots of valuable information.

This is a really great website to get information about kilojoule counts in all types of food. I refer to this site all the time, particularly for judging the kjs in foods when I eat out.

I have found this website invaluable for retraining myself in the way I think about food and dieting. It tailors a food and exercise plan to your needs and leaves all the decisions up to you. There are so many resources available that it is almost impossible to keep up with them all and it is nice knowing there are other people on line that are dealing with the same struggles I am. The support and informational resources on CalorieKing.com.au are invaluable to me.

It's a fantastic weight loss website. Firstly, it's free which makes a big differenc as you know they aren't after you for money. It lets you choose your own foods, you don't have to follow a plan, so it's very flexible and easier to follow on the long term. It has a "university" where it has online lessons on food, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle for 12 weeks which is good too - something they should teach all Australians. They have a forum which is excellent for support and also blogs too that other users often read and help motivate you. It's more of a community than just a weight loss site.

I think its great the they a calories for all different types of food, my husband is on a weight lose routine and is very helpful to pull up information for him with what calories he is in taking.

I think this site is great if you want to know how much calories are in the different foods that you consume but it's always good to keep in mind that you shouldn't stay away from good fats, minerals and vitamins. It isn't always about the calories. It's a good site just keep that in mind.

i am absolutely in love with this website and i think all Australians should get on board as part of their healthy eating plans to tackle the ever-rising scourge of obesity that threatens us.

A great website that gives lots of handy information on weight loss.Send an email to remind you when you have a weigh in,which also give great encouragement in the weight loss!
