Whether you are on a weight-loss, fitness, or athletic journey it is very important to be resourceful. That means hiring a coach who can provide expertise, motivation, and guidance as well as being your own advocate for change.
The internet is a great place to find resources (usually free) for nutritional guides, recipe sites, counters, calculators and journaling. For a great post listing some of these sites check out makeuseof.com. Tim Lenahan highlights some of the best sites on the web including fitday.com. Fitday is a site I recently came across. It is a great nutrition/fitness journaling site and really can help keep people accountable during their training!
These sites are great resources as an addition to any program. I do not recommend taking advice from people who post on these sites. Just use them as a tool to facilitate your training!
