Whats in my food, FREE Resource

My constant quest to get the very best of knowledge in the health and fitness world to the general public sees me spending a lot of time on the net trawling through the masses of information out there so you don't have to.

Here is a great one that will tell you exactly whats in your food and a guideline on how long it will take to "burn it off" .

With this tool you can:
Check the ingredients in thousands of different foods.
Type in generic (eg chocolate) or brand names
Find out about specific ingredients (like calcium or iron)
Check the kilojoules content of different foods.
Manage health conditions (for example you can calculate the amount of carbohydrates in your diet if you have diabetes).

Check how far you have to walk to burn up the food you eat
This tool will also give you an indication of how far you need to walk to burn up the energy in each food. This is an estimate based on a 65kg person and will vary with each person’s weight.


Food Search.

Just remember folks that if you are training for general health and fitness benefits in this crazy world, you do not have to obsess about everything you consume. You just have to be informed about your choices, use a bit of common sense and remember it needs to fit in to your lifestyle.

Have a great day!
