Big summertime upgrades at The Daily Plate

New, faster server
Lose the wait while you lose the weight!

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve upgraded to a new, faster-than-ever web server. What this means for you is no more slow-loading at lunch time when you’re logging into The Daily Plate to track your meal. Everything on the site feels much snappier now, thanks to this major upgrade! Please check it out, and let us know if you run into anything unusual…

Exercise and fitness tracker, completely revamped
Now, search for physical activities the same way you search for food!

Our new fitness directory lets you browse through all the different exercises and activities in our database. And now, you can use the search box on our site not just to search for the foods you eat each day, but also for the exercises you do. From basketball to badminton, or aerobics to yoga, The Daily Plate now makes it easier than ever to track what you’re doing each day.

What’s next?
As we approach 100,000 members, we have big plans for the next upgrades to our site!

We’ve recently been working on our recipe system, making it more accurate and easier to use. (Oh, and don’t forget our thriving message board devoted to healthy recipes!) There are other new features in the works, and we can’t wait to release them. Thanks for your support, and please don’t forget to recommend The Daily Plate to all your friends!

It’s an exciting time on the site these days. Member Groups have exploded; our most active groups have hundreds of members and dozens of new posts each week.

Thanks in no small part to the new free trial, our Gold membership program has really taken off. Thanks as always to our Gold members for their extra support.

And remember, the number one way you can help support TDP is simple: Tell your friends about us!

Hope everyone’s having a fun and healthy summer — and remembering to track each barbecue or sticky ice cream cone at The Daily Plate!

    I just noticed that Beta is gone too… does that mean you’re fully live? Congrats. I can’t lose with you!

    Thanks so much for The Daily Plate. I have been using it for several weeks now. Originally I compared a few different sites and then chose TDP because your database conainted the greatest number of brand products.

    Are you working with any of the manufacturers to get the data fed to you? This would improve accuracy of content and brand references. Some major companies have so many registered sub-brands it is not always easy to know what to put in the database. I would think the big companies would be happy to provide their product information.

    Regards,

    I LOVE TDP! I found your site in August, while searching for nutritional values for an avacado. I had just started trying to lose weight and was trying to keep track of my calories manually. I have lost a little over 30 pounds and have about another 50 to go. I am certain I would have given up within a few weeks if I had not found TDP. I have just started to enter recipes and I love the total calories for meals that just came up.
    I have been telling everyone about TDP . Thanks!!!!
