To lose weight, you need to exercise and diet. I always am struggling with the fight against fat. But of course, I am loathe to spend money on tools to help me do so. I do buy nice running shoes and have a gym membership, because I believe that I receive an appropriate value for my money.

There are products that help make weight loss easier though. Here are two free tools.

Track your daily diet for free with FitDay

FitDay is a tool which will track your eating habits for you. My biggest problem in dieting was always knowing the nutritional value of my meals. How many calories did I just eat? How much of that came from fat? From carbohydrates? If you’re not eating pre-packaged food, it is very difficult to discern the nutritional value of different foods. FitDay takes care of all tha twork. If you have a large grapefruit for breakfast, that’s all you need to record. FitDay will do all the rest. And it’s FREE.

Keep motivated while exercising with FitPod

Fitpod is a website which provides workout music. I always struggle with music mixes to motivate my workout. When exercising, I like a certain kind of music when I warm up, do cardio, lift weights and cool down. I also have trouble keeping track of how long I spend at each point. The music mixes at FitPod are free, and solve all those problems. Song changes mark times when you need to move from one exercise to another.

As long as you’ve got an mp3 player, you don’t need to worry about having workout mixes. Fitpod provides them for free.
