I've been lurking on this sub for forever and have been in the process of losing weight for just as long, and I made something potentially helpful that I wanted to share. I'm a huge fan of CICO and I've had major weight loss success in the past with just plain ol' calorie counting, but after awhile I feel like I'm not eating the right amount of protein/carbs/fat/etc. to be "healthy" and I try to adjust my diet and tend to get overwhelmed. Like... calorie counting is reasonable, it's just one thing, but trying to keep calories low and carbs low but protein high starts to get a bit much, especially at every meal. SO, I made this website that figures that out for you, and shows you foods that fit within whatever macro constraints you specify. Some of the stuff it can do:
- Searches through several thousand recipes, grocery items, and menu items for foods that'll fit your search queries.
- Gives you the option to search for brand names / restaurant names and then sort the results, so you can (for instance) find the lowest calorie options at Olive Garden, or get a list of all the foods there that match your calorie/macro goals.
- Has an option to return partial serving sizes of results, so if half an entrée or a quarter of a cookie perfectly fits your calorie/macro goals, it'll tell you instead of skipping over it since you can't fit the whole thing.
- Has an option to add your own foods to the search/sort page, so you can add, say, Grandma's casserole, and it'll tell you how much casserole you need to eat to hit your protein goal for the day.
Plus some more. I tried to make it fairly customizeable... I made it to be something I could use myself and I like to have as many options as possible when it comes to my food :)It's a brand new website (my very first! I made it from scratch and I'm proud of myself, so be nice lol) so I'm still adding foods and tweaking things, but please go check it out! There's a free trial option for every membership level and a free plan too.
