Review: “I use the SparkPeople website to track my food and exercise, and use the SparkPeople app because it links to my account there. It has a terrific database, and is easy to use.”

Reviewer: Blogger on the AskMetaFilter site, USA
Review: “I like SparkPeople pretty well. It’s sort of obnoxious, taken at face value, because there’s a lot of emphasis on joining groups, and exercise plans, and meal plans, and all that over-involved stuff. I’m not interested in any of that, though, so I just use it for the calorie tracking. It tracks calories, protein, carbs, and fat. Their own internal database is so-so, but there’s a huge community-submitted database, from which I’ve yet to be able to find anything missing.”
