What They Have In Common
The versatility of simple nutrition and fitness tracking and self-reporting has planted it firmly at the core of both contenders for the best free diet website. Fitday.com and Sparkpeople.com have the same idea at their core: by tracking how you take on and expend calories, you will learn to make daily choices that leave you with a net caloric loss so that your body burns fat. This basic idea is useful to any dieter, whether you’re an Atkins fan or a vegan. So, this idea is what Sparkpeople.com and Fitday.com have in common. Both websites ask you to report the food you eat, and the exercise you do. Both offer tools to turn this information into easily readable charts so that you can self-monitor your changing habits at a glance. Both sites agree that these are features that the best free diet website needs to offer users so that they can individualize their programs.
