Gomeals.com by Calorie King is an application that any one devoted to changing their lifestyle should have.  It is specifically designed for people with diabetes, however, anyone who would like to track their diet on their computer or smart phone can use it.  Once a person has signed up and logged on, it has three main areas:  track your food consumption for the day; track your exercise; and track your blood glucose level.  By doing this, it can

While logging food, it has lists of calories an item is at a restaurant.  Not only does it tell you calories, but carbs, fats, proteins and other nutritional items.  Having an application like this on one’s phone can help a person who is out at a restaurant and wants to know what would be geed to eat and what one would stay away from. 

Under activities, one can record anything from walking to playing football.  As these activities are added, one can track how many calories they have burned and whether or not they have achieved their daily goal.  One could custom the application in order to show what their favorite activities as well as show charts that have their data listed.

Under blood glucose, one can record their daily readings.  This would be convenient on a smart phone due to the fact that one would not have to carry their recordings with them, they can just plug them into their phone.  One suggestion I would have for this section of the application is a place to record how much insulin that person takes with those readings because of the fact that most people take a BG reading in order to see if how much insulin that person needs before a meal.

I do like the fact that the blood glucose section asks if it is taken before a meal, after a meal or before or after exercising.  One thing I have learned with being diabetic is that when I exercise, I must make sure my blood sugars do not drop due to too much activity.  Thus, it is probably a good idea for me and others to check their levels before getting involved in too much activity. 

I do recommend this gomeals.com  as one that is beneficial to making lifestyle changes.  Especially, when it comes to going out to eat.  As a diabetic and a dieter, going out to eat, which is a major social event, is definitely a challenge.  Having a convenient application of a smart phone, would help with these kinds of decisions.
