It's Mac, PC, and Linux compatible. I have used Fitday PC and Diet Controller and you'd swear it was the same program. Same things are tracked. What I like is that if you eat the same basic meals, you can copy entire day's entries from one day to the next and then just modify as needed.

Two friends walking around with arms being held out by their imaginary lats and toting a Muscle and Fiction magazine. It made your comment later in the show that much better. And the fact that they were spotting each other on leg extensions was just icing on the cake. Just thought I'd pass it along, it makes me sick. Keep up the good work.

Just thought I’d pass it along, it makes me sick.

Keep up the good work.

You were so close to getting it right. CalorieKing (http://www.calorieking.com) IS available on the Mac and PC, and it is the best calorie tracking software out there. Their food database is crazy. I only have a handful of saved food items that I had to manually enter and they are constantly updating the database. Hope this helps the caller. Love the show!
