Let technology boost weight loss

Are you trying to lose weight? Nearly seventy percent of Americans put themselves in that group but only nine percent can accurately estimate the number of calories they need each day based on their age, height, weight as well as activity level. Most people don't even monitor their daily calories, either because they feel that it is too difficult or that it takes too much time.

But calorie tracking doesn't have to be so difficult. Technology can help. Many online tools and mobile applications are available to help you figure out your daily calorie needs. You just have to provide your height, weight and age information. Some tools will also ask about your goals such as whether you want to lose weight or maintain your present weight, your activity level, etc.

Do you know how many calories you're burning each day? Technology can help there too. Numerous websites and apps provide estimates of calories burned during daily activities, such as mowing the lawn, and all varieties of exercise.

So what are you waiting for? Take advantage of technology to give your weight-loss efforts a boost.
