What is The Daily Plate?
The Daily Plate (TDP) is a site devoted to people who want to eat smarter.
TDP's core features are:
1. A huge database of foods.
You can search well over 100,000 food items in our database. Whether it's food you order at your favorite fast food place (e.g., McDonald's cheeseburger, name-brand food you purchased at the local supermarket (Campbell's Tomato Soup), or a homemade meal (meatloaf) -- you'll find it on The Daily Plate. And we'll show you all the calorie and nutrition information for that food, just like the "Nutrition Facts" label on the packages in the store.
2. MyPlate diet tracking.
Call it a food diary, call it a meal journal -- just DO call it... after dinner. With MyPlate, it's as simple as a click to track all the foods you eat each day (as well as all the exercise you do). We help you calculate your target number of calories to consume each day, based on how much you want to lose (or gain) each week. And by tracking all the foods you eat with MyPlate, you can make sure you're meeting your goals, and identify and potential pitfalls/problem areas as well. Every single food item in our system has a big, green "I ate this!" button; just click it to instantly add whatever you've eaten to your MyPlate log.
3. Support.
Dieting isn't easy. Dieting without support is virtually impossible. TDP offers a slew of community features to help you find like-minded individuals who've been-there, done-that -- or are there with you right now in the dieting trenches! Healthy eating is a lifetime commitment, and many of our weight-loss success stories stick around on the site to make sure they stay on track. We offer Groups, message boards, and custom profiles as ways to meet and interact with other members on the site for support, advice, and friendship.
