Herdecke,  DE   Jan 21, 2010 in Software

[prMac.com] Herdecke, Germany - Today danholt4mac released an update of Calories 2 - the popular software for tracking your everyday nutrition- to V. 2.1. With this update of Calories 2 the wishes of many Calories users for an activities feature have been fulfilled. Now the calorie consumption by sports or other activities can be registered chronologically and will be recorded for the calorie balance. The new credit indicator always gives you a quick and brief overview if you can go for more or if you should to do some sports.

Users caring about their body and their health will be pleased by Calories 2's new options. Instead of joy-free calorie saving and eating less only, you will now get instantly an idea how sports and activity will equalize your net calorie balance easily - even beforehand.

Physical activity and calorie consumption depend on each other - this is a well known truth. With the new activity feature of Calories 2 this dependency becomes fascinatingly obvious to anybody and even hard boiled coach potatoes will be blown away from their sofas.

Since Calories 2 v.2.0 offered a gorgeous highlight by directly connecting to the brand new and outstanding Withings WiFi body scale, now this new giant leap release introducing the activities feature will make tech geeks happy again. If you use the Nike iPod kit or if you do your work out in a gym you will now be able to easily use the direct input option for burned calories.
