This program helps manage diet and exercise regimens, but it doesn't deliver on user-friendliness.

Biggly Diet and Exercise requires you to first create a profile that includes birth date and body measurements. The program calculates your BMI and body fat percentage, but unlike similar apps, it doesn't give your ideal weight or compute daily calorie requirements. With its utilitarian interface, you can design your own weightlifting and cardio workouts and track exercise and meals, though a wizard would've been useful to help ease the learning curve.

Biggly Diet and Exercise comes preloaded with exercises and a food database and allows you to add entries to both. It calculates and plots your stats for weight, measurements, and meal entries in plain but easy-to-read graphs, although the Nutrition section only provides basic information like protein and fat percentages. There's no menu planner, which would have been a nice addition to round out the diet tools. You can access the publisher's site or the Biggly blog community for fitness articles and online discussions.

The 10-day trial seems too short considering the complexity of using Biggly Diet and Exercise. Its unfriendly design probably won't appeal to the novice user, and those interested in more extensive diet planning tools will want to keep looking.

What’s new in version 4.0

Version 4.0 adds photos, a fitness tracker, improvments to the Biggly Body Index calculator, and general tweaks and extra features all over.

Has a few bugs which such as character entry restriction in some body composition measurments, blood pressure and blood sugar. Workout schedual works but cannot add additional sets once schedual is uded and again if done manual character restriction
Summary
Easy to Use Diet and Exercise Tracker

Pros
Biggly 4.0 is a easy to use exercise and diet tracker and logger. Easy data entry, a complete, easy to use diet software (tracks supplements too) - Goals with date countdown, full reports and charts. Weightlifting and cardo schedules.
Cons
Doesn't enter the data for me?
Summary
Ease of use is the key. If it's not easy to use, you won't use this type of software. And Biggly 4.0 is the easiest software to use of it's type that I have found. It is also full featured. In the diet section, it shows you your required calories, your intake and if you are over or under, along with full vitamin reports. The use of favorite foods and meal plans make using it as a diet tool quick and convenient. Many of the more popular supplements are included in the database, very convenient for weight lifters. You can add foods or edit included items. And the exercise portion does a great job of showing you your progress in both weightlifting and cardio. There is values for set and reps as well as negatives and the time between sets. The cardio section supports HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), and fully logs all your runs or other cardo. Biggly is valuable to runners as well as weightlifters. Serious runners should really take a look. It is easy to add custom exercises for both cardio and weightlifting. It charts your progress both for the day and over time. Plus it will print out a "gym sheet" (form) with your last workout and blanks to write in the present "reps" and "sets". It will also chart your weight and bodyfat% along with Photos, you can actually see your progress. Mentally, if you know you will have to log that peice of cake, or the chart will show a blank spot where you skipped that run...it is a huge motivator. I am obviously a big fan of this software! And I personally use it. This type of software is not meant to be used permanently. Ideally you should use it to reach your goals, and then for an occasional "tune-up" - contest or marathon. I have found this a valuable tool.
