| Food Database | Rating  |
My favorite part of Absolute Fitness is the programs extensive food database which includes the ability to search foods by category and by food names. The database also offers a very "Web 2.0" feel that makes browsing the directory very simple. Here's a look at the category section, as you can see the category results are listed in alphabetical order for easy perusing.
The Absolute Fitness food database also offers screenshots of "Nutritional Value Labels" which you typically find on the back of food items in your local grocery store. You can simply examine the serving size for the label or you can adjust the service size if you're making larger or smaller servings
Overall the Food Database offers thousands of choices with easy to navigate and very easy to read screens. If you want to find the foods you eat quickly and with accurate information the Absolute Fitness database is a great option for Google Android.
| Food And Activity Tracking | Rating  |
Once you've used the food database to find the items you're eating you can then place those items into the included "Food Diary" This diary is a very effect means for tracking exactly what you eat, it features Morning, Afternoon and Night tracking, simply choose the foods you've eaten and place them in the right part of the day, the program then keeps track on a daily basis of your food consumption. The food diary screen is one again very simple to use and offers easy to follow views:
My favorite part of the programs food tracking abilities however was not the food diary, but rather the ability to track workouts and other phsyical activities along with other "external factors" such as the amount of sleep I had the night before in hours and the number of glasses of water I consumed. The workout screen allows users to pick from a wide variety of exercises while also providing a time input, simply enter the amount of time you spent on the activity and the program will offer an estimate of the calories burned for that activity. The workout screen also offers a very nice "Calorie Override" which is a great option if your workouts are only moderately active and therefore may take up less calories than a regular athlete.
Whether you want a simply diary or the ability to fully track your daily routines right down to the exercises you participate in Absolute Fitness offers something for everyone.
| Personal Results Tracking | Rating |
Absolute Fitness not only lets you know what you ate at any given time and the calories you've burnt, it also allows you to easily track your own personal changes in health, for instance you can view your weight at any time, the goal you want to reach, the changes in your weight and your Body mass index easily. The screen shots below show the simplistic nature of this screen along with the sleep and water consumption screen. You'll also notice the nice "Notes" section where you can place any type of information you deem as important.

| Custom Food Data And Exporting | Rating |
While the food database is rather large for Absolute Fitness there will inevitably be foods that information is not provided for, in these cases it is very easy to create your own food item information, right down to the smallest of details such as calories from fat, saturated fats, serving sizes and other pertinent informaiton. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease at which new items could be added.
Finally users have the ability to easily export all of their information from an easy to use export screen, I chose to download all of my information from a 3 day period by choosing the export option for "All Available Data" however users can also "Specify Dates" if they want to check out just a certain period of time. I find the date option great if you splurged over the holidays and you want to look back after a long holiday weekend and see what you need to do to get back on track.
Conclusion
Whether you are simply attempting to find the nutritional value for meals or specific food items or you want to track your workout routines and daily food consumption plus how close you are to reach your own goals such as your weight or BMI there is something offered for everyone via Absolute Fiteness.
I highly recommend Absolute Fitness to all health conscience Google Android users.
