The site offers detailed calorie and nutrient breakdown on a variety of foods, including fruits and vegetables, and translates the calorie cost of each food into how much exercise is required to burn the same amount of calories.
You can also specify serving sizes and see the overall calorie content by quantity. Additionally, extensive FAQs provide answers about popular diets and a myriad of health concerns.
Who said taking a hike had to be a lonely pursuit? Not Map My Hike, which enables hikers to keep track of and share their hike routes, plan their workouts and nutritional goals, find friends interested in hiking and share their stories and photos with others.
Additionally, members and visitors can view contributions ranging from playlist suggestions to healthy recipes, and read other member’s stories related to hiking and working out.
