I had the same problem with fitday's whacked-out calorie counts: there's just no way I need 3000 calories a day to maintain the same weight. I've had much better luck with sparkpeople.com (especially since I'm too cheap to pay for weight watchers), and as a bonus, it doesn't have the soviet-era design that fitday had the last time I looked in over there.

To be fair, I never actually tested it: if I actually managed to eat that much, I'd probably sleep through the whole next day, so it might all balance out.

How's the shopping list feature, amych? I've found with various plans that I lvoe the idea but it's often not executed well and ends up being just as much work as starting from scratch.

What is even happening?
bon bon, I go through periods where I get hives out of the blue. Sometimes, it's really random. Sometimes, it's when I've gotten overheated. Sometimes, it's when I'm already reacting to a pollen, or whatever. Sometimes, I can tell I'm going to get hives, and if I stay cool and don't let myself scratch, they'll subside. Benedryl is your friend.
Do you know if you had any food with MSG in it, last night? When I stopped eating stuff with MSG (it's in a lot of stuff, like some Chinese food, canned soup, dips, even stuff like Doritos and some salad dressings) in it, the random hive events seemed to happen less often.
My kids' pediatrician says sometimes hives will accompany a virus, too.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
sparkpeople looks interesting - because it looks like there are resouces there - One of the things I have read in a number of places is that diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure may signal a lack of magneseum - so i thought I'd find out which foods have it. - but I had to go off sight to find out. it looks like ther might be resources out on the sparkpeople sight...

How's the shopping list feature
Honestly, I've never found any automated shopping list to be useful, so I haven't really tested that one out. I use the site primarily for tracking the food and exercise I do rather than asking it to give me menu suggestions; I've found some good recipes there, and I have it suggest a week of menus now and again to spur ideas, but I mostly leave the "tell me what to buy and eat" stuff turned off.

Re hives:
That's interesting about the MSG. I would be surprised if that caused it, since I had an extremely typical lunch for me-- fruit, hummus, pita, yam, tea. And some ginger snaps.
The only thing I can think of is I just used a new detergent along with bleach. Would a reaction to your shirt cause hives all over your body?
