I have used Ascendo Fitness Assistant for several weeks, I use it to calculate my total calorie intake by using entries already included in the database, you may also add new entries, Ascendo provides a desktop companion with thousands of nutrition items that you can copy to your BlackBerry. Next I enter my daily exercise routine and then Ascendo Fitness Calculator tells me how many calories I have burned for the day. I also used the progress option to enter my daily weight and track my progress for a progressive chart of my weight loss. Ascendo Fitness did a great job of calculating my daily calorie intake..., total calories burned, the application also has several calculators to calculate your healthy weight, ideal weight, body mass index heart rate and finally your basic metabolic rate, these are calculated by entering your personal settings such as your height, weight, gender and age.
