well, the one that i am using now for the black berry is super great. and i have used a bunch of different ones. its called total fitness. if you google total fitness for blackberry you will find it.
basically you start out with a personal profile.. height , weight, goals, diet, you can choose lo fat or lo carb, or customize one based on certain health issues, ie salt ect..
then you enter your meals. it has a huge database, and you can customize things that you eat all the time and enter in your own foods.
it keeps a running total... for example... you ate 600 cals, and your total for the day is 1600 if you want to stay on track for your goals..
the thing that i like about this program is that it also shows you the catagories of foods that you have already eaten.. so for example, if you are starving and want a snack, you can see if you can eat more carbs, or proteins for that day without going over...
then, you put in our work outs, and it also adds to cals burned for the day.
it gives you nice little graphs of your progress. and i think you can also somehow have it sync with your polar heart rate monitor, but i dont use that feature. its pretty great. wish they would write if for iphone!
