I continue to have an agreeable experience with the program, although I wonder if it will ever pop up a tip besides “check in once a week.”

I find myself increasingly checking the program for nutrition information on foods I read about or consider making for myself. It’s convenient to be able to search for how much popcorn I can eat for around 100 calories, for example.

I noticed today that there’s a button to publish your diary. As I’m not sure I want others to be peaking at my daily food intake, I haven’t tested this yet . . . but maybe I’ll see what I can learn tomorrow.

Also, there’s another button on the toolbar that connects you to meal plans provided by your CalorieKing Club account, should you happen to be a member. I’m not, but the cost isn’t so steep ($7 a month or $55 a year), so if set meal plans and online support forums help keep you on track, it might be worthwhile. It’s less expensive than Weight Watchers’ online service.

Maybe I need some help to stay on track -- I’m within my calorie count for the day, but I did choose to eat a handful of cookies over something more nutritious for a snack. Oops.
