NUTRITION DATA

Found yet another amazing site for understanding and keeping track of your nutritional intake. After all, 'it's not what comes out of you but what goes in that makes you', and you are what you eat.

This website is, like other, equipped with a fully searchable nutritional database of western foods and groceries. What makes it amazing is, it tabulates the data in the familiar nutrition label, and also sets up a pyramid to point out where it stands in terms of nutritional composition. It also works backwards - i.e. you decide the sort of composition you'd like to have and it returns the foods that matches your requirement.

I've not found any other site that gives you data on 'Fullness Factor' and Glycemic Index along with it.

Apart from this core service, lots of articles on weight management, glycemic load and other such things are available for reading.
