Calorie Counter

Yes, there's an appfor that. I haven't done well with diets because I never know what to eat. Not being a big eater, I usually end up eating way less calories than I need. I even cheated on Richard Simmon's diet because I would round whatever I did eat up. I have done lo carb, lo fat, Metabolife (before they changed the recipe and it since didn't work), etc. When deciding to go on a diet, my husband asked what kind of diet I was going on. Hmm, didn't know. I knew I needed to eat more regularly because my metabolism is shot and I need to get it to rev up again. I found an app called Calorie Counter and it has been a tremendous help. They have lists of foods and you just click on what you ate that day. Even have a section for exercise (will get back to that). It tells you how you are doing and your calories spent vs. taken in. It also helps you keep track of how much water you need to drink and lets you check them off when drunk.
In the list of exercises there is backpacking (with various pounds of weight), bicycling, cooking, driving, and yes there is sex (foreplay) and sex (intercourse). You click on it and put down how many minutes you engaged in each activity. Now is it me or would it be totally a mood changer, if your partner decides to be romantic and you say, "wait, I need to check the clock" not once, but twice, from when foreplay begins to when it ends and the intercourse begins. Looking at a clock and timing things may put a tremendous amount of stress on your partner. But, yes, there is an app for that!
