Features of Calorie Counter for BlackBerry®

Losing weight with BlackBerry and MyNetDiary

Many MyNetDiary members own a BlackBerry smartphone and MyNetDiary provides a special application for BlackBerry to help you keep track of your diet when on the go. The application works with your MyNetDiary account - use it on the go, and the web site when at home or office.

With a BlackBerry phone, your food log is always available; enter the foods you just ate in a restaurant or exercises you did in a gym. No more evening sessions trying to remember what you ate today!

And you can keep using the regular MyNetDiary.com with your favorite Web browser on your laptop or desktop for the ultimate comfort.

MyNetDiary for BlackBerry is much more than a calorie counter - it's a full-featured food and exercise diary, helping you to plan your diet and nutrition first, and then track daily foods - with only a few clicks!

MyNetDiary for BlackBerry is the ideal food journal, perfect for entering daily foods and exercises anywhere, anytime.

We provide a brief overview of the most important application screens here. There are more screens in the application, but each of them provides built-in Help information, explaining how it works. And if you need further help - use the Support screen to contact us.

Home Screen - Your Day at a Glance

The BlackBerry Home screen shows the summary of your day - how many calories you consumed, burned with exercises, and most importantly - how much more you can eat. It even calculates how fast you would lose weight if every day was like today.

A few tips:
  • After becoming a MyNetDiary member, plan your diet on the main site using your laptop or desktop - just enter your target weight and date and balance your calories and exercises. Then, you can use BlackBerry to enter and track your foods and exercises anywhere, anytime.
