November 10th, 2009 | by Christina Warren
This post is part of Mashable’s Spark of Genius series, which highlights a unique feature of startups. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here. The series is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark.
Name: GraphiteQuick Pitch: Graphite is an easy-to-use web-based application that allows individuals to calculate calorie intake and expenditures.
Genius Idea: Keeping track of what you eat and how many calories you burn is the key to losing or maintaining weight. Graphite takes a fast, no-nonsense approach to logging and graphing your caloric and exercise information.
Graphite is a caloric tracking tool that makes it extremely easy to record and keep track of what you are eating, how many calories you are burning (based on your daily activities) and what your different caloric and fitness goals need to be in order to achieve a certain weight.What we like about Graphite is that the interface is very, very clean and easy to use. There aren’t lots of options or buttons; you just have access to you information and your dietary goals. You can enter in what you eat and Graphite’s library of food sources will pull up results in real time that you can add to keep track of your calorie counts. Likewise, you can add in your exercise regimes to track the calories you are burning.
Graphite comes with tools that tell you what your daily caloric baseline is for maintaining your current weight. You can then set goals for how much weight you want to lose and see your caloric numbers change accordingly. You have access to graphs that chart your weight, exercise and caloric intake over time and you can see how you are progressing towards your goals.
You can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Graphite but after that, the service is $5 a month or $50 a year to use. For users who want an easy, cruft-free way to track dietary changes, Graphite is a great option.
