| Same here if it ain't in Sparks I just put it in myself takes 2 mins. I agree witht the recipe thing, they need to make it save like in the tracker so we dont have to repeat what we already put in! But other than that Sparks is great and it free so really can't complain!

| Also a complaint on the food issue: We have found some specific ingredients that we like better and every time I make a recipe, I have to reenter them in the recipe section! I have entered 96% lean ground beef at least 6 times! Other than that, this site is wonderful, but I use Calorieking for many other items as well.

| When I look for a food I pick as few words as posible. For example if I am looking for "red peppers" I type in "peppers". To me that sounds backward but it works better. The simpler the better.

I feel the same way - I find myself not even bothering with the search and just entering from the package into my favorites. Which - I actually think is good for me to do because its sometimes easy just to click on the food - I pay more attention to things like sodium and potassium when I have to put the number in.

| Lori ~ I agree with you... calorieking.com has a great database. It also includes much of the fast food items I can't find here. Not that I need it too much but it takes so much time requesting the info from the restaurants. They have done the leg work for me in many cases!
|
|
|
|
I agree with the food database issue. I love the one at calorieking.com. It would be great to have one more organized on here.
Other than that, I am like the rest of you...addicted to spark! The support, information and resources are so helpful! I love it here!!

Good to know I'm not alone!! I'm not getting anything done these days as I'm on sparkpeople all the time!! I luv it!! Jenn

|
| what I do in these situations is ask for a recipe or just think of the recipe in my head, and enter those ingredients, it will at least give you a fair idea of the calories, and after all,it's really about portions, so don't eat too much of whatever it is and it shouldn't matter

| I find myself not wanting to eat meals prepared by others because I don't know how to count the calories, etc. Does anyone else experience this? What do you do ?

My complaint is that my Mother-in-law made me dinner last week and she made a pasta with shrimp and sausage bites and the sauce was alfreado. I could not find that on the list when I entered my food for the day today. Who would eat pasta for breakfast??
Me!! I need more carbs for my diet. Good move or bad?

My complaint is that I spend to much time on sparkpeople. I have become so interested in this sight that I stay up later than usual and don't want to go to bed. Thanks SP for the encouragement!

|
| I agree. I spend wwwwaaayyy too much time in SparkPeople!! It's time well spent though.
|
|
|
|
| First thing I do in the AM aside from setting up the screens I will need throughout the day...sign in to SP, get my points and keep track of what I eat and how many cups of water I drink.
|
|
|
|
| That is my complaint too. I just can't get any work done the entire day as I am always on SP. I love SP !!!
|
|
|
|
| My only complaint about SP is that it is so addictive! I love SP.

I love many things about Spark and only have one complaint. I wish that the food finder was structured differently. It is often difficult to find the food you are seeking because the search is so broad. Not only that, but the database really needs to be expanded to include more.
Another website: www.calorie-count.com has a very good food finder interface. I hope that this can be improved here.
Other than that I really like the site much better than any other.
