If you are trying to lose weight then you might benefit from using a good weight loss calorie counter. It is best to use a dual featured weight loss calorie counter as these will list both the calorie content of foods and ways you burn the fat off.

If you are overweight then there is a good chance that you aren’t all that good at knowing how much impact food and exercise has on your body’s shape. Whether this is the first time you have tried dieting or whether you have been a yo-yo dieter for years, you need to learn to have some idea of how many calories are in foods and also how many calories you are burning off.

Guessing what foods have more or less calories will often give you the wrong answer and it isn’t always a matter of common sense. If I asked you which had the fewest calories out of a fast food meal or a meal at a restaurant you would probably say the meal at the restaurant would be lower in calories. The fact is though that quite often fast foods contain fewer calories than a meal at a sit down restaurant. It all depends on the type of meal you order and this is why a weight loss calorie counter can help.

To lose weight it is vital that you burn more calories than you consume. Most people however don’t realize just how many calories they actually eat and usually think they eat less than they actually do. Many people have no idea how many calories they burn off either so a weight loss calorie counter is very important in your weight loss journey.

Let’s take a look at some of the features of a good weight loss calorie counter:

A good weight loss calorie counter should include a wide range of foods including apples, potatoes and lean beef. It should also include some combinations of foods and some common recipes. Processed foods such as cookies and chips should also be included. And lastly it should include some of the common restaurant and fast food items too.

The exercise software on a calorie counter should also include a wide range of exercise activities. The counter should include exercises such as cardio exercises, strength training such as lifting weights and swimming. It should also include leisure activities that are physically active such as table tennis, volleyball, cycling and walking.

It isn’t as simple as saying ‘I’ve run a mile so I’ve burned 98 calories’ because there are different factors that determine how many calories you burn off. For example a 120 pound woman will burn around 78 calories by running a mile while a 180 pound man will burn around 117 calories. The body mass will have an impact on how many calories are burned. So a good weight loss calorie counter will take your weight into consideration.

When you are looking for a good weight loss calorie counter just keep these points in mind. You want one that includes a wide range of foods, a wide range of physical exercises and one that will consider your current weight.
