Healthy Eating:
- My Food Guide {Canadian Government}: I prefer this to the US site. Both allow you to put together a personalized food plan, but I find the Canadian plans are more user-friendly. They give serving sizes in units that mean something to the average person {in cups for example, as opposed to ounces}.
- MyPyramid {United States Government}: One advantage the US site has over the Canadian is having the option to include the fact that you are breastfeeding an infant {but not a toddler} in your personal information. However, if you use the Canadian site just know that pregnant/breastfeeding moms just need to add 2 healthy servings to their recommended food guide.
- The Calorie Counter: This is the website I use to count calories for food items without nutritional labels such as fruit and vegetables.
- Calories Burned Estimator: One of many calculators available online that you can use to estimate how many calories you'll burn doing a given activity.
Especially For Moms:
- Kellymom: This is my favorite resource for breastfeeding information. It has an entire section on weight loss for nursing mums.
- Kevin And Amanda: This is the site where I get a lot of my fonts.
