"Works ok if you dont want to sync with a handheld"
Pros: It has a huge database of foods and excersises and is easy to use.
Cons: dont even think about syncing it with a palm or pocket pc even though calorieking makes the handheld version, which by the way is great to by itself. the syncing just causes you lots of time, effort and data loss.

"Excellent, really helps me focus myself"
Pros: The program covers all the details I wanted to track, plus more. It has tons of pre-entered food information, including restaurant menu items from lots of popular chains. (Who knew Chili's food was so high in calories?)
I am so pleased with how easy it was to set up (and a little frightened by the BMI... but it's definitely information I should be aware of as I work on my fitness plan)
I believe this is the missing link to my previous attempts at changing my lifestyle and may help me keep from slipping once I reach my goals.

"Very good tracking software but has a few reporting bugs."
Pros: Easy to select foods to add to daily diary (via drag and drop or select from a list). Easy to add your own foods to the database. I really like the user interface -- esthetically pleasing.
Cons: The forced use of "net calories" i.e. your daily calorie budget (for calories eaten) plus the number of "extra" food calories you get based on the amount of calories burned while exercising. This concept can be confusing, and it would be more intuitive to simply display "calories eaten" and "calories burned" and let the user decide if he/she wants to eat more or not. Also, some reports show net calories, others show food calories, and one report shows some number of calories that I haven't been able to figure out yet (I've logged a support call for this issue). Also, I have a bit of a beef about not being able to access the Web forums unless I purchase an annual subscription -- most other software companies provide access to user forums for software owners. Also with reporting, there is no way to customize your reports or create your own reports -- it's delivered reports or nothing.

"Great interface, easy to use"
Pros: Very beautiful interface. Very easy to use. It does all the calculations for you. You only need to enter your food and exercise. Great copy day feature.
Cons: Online forum requires paid membership. It has all the measurement entries to calculate body fat percent and still doesn't calculate it.
