I'm a full time working mother, a Medical Scientist with 18 years experience in the field of Endocrinology, Osteoporosis, Bone Density, and Body Composition.

I searched out an easy to use calorie counting record to help me become more aware of the energy content of the foods & drinks I'm consuming. In the last couple of years my body fat content has been slowly creeping up as my eating has become less healthy. I've undertaken a genuine effort to get back to ideal Body Mass Index of 21.5 and ideal percentage of body fat for my age height and weight. I've had 2 total body DEXA scans performed (Dual Energy Xray Absorptiometry), and am happy to have reduced my overall percentage of body fat from 36.5% to 31%- which is the correct average for a female of my age,height and weight.
