Deep-dish pizzas are a staple of the pizza-pie world. Unlike it's New York -styled cousin, the Chicago deep dish is more akin to an actual pie with its intricately laced layers of sauce, cheese and toppings on top of an unctuously crispy crust. you'll most likely find a fork and knife to be much more servicable than your hands when digging into one of these lasagna-like pies. Before you start that digging process, you may want to take a deeper look into the world of the deep dish pie, and ...

We have recently updated the site to include vegetarian and other food restriction controls for FitClick prescribed meal plans.When you choose a diet plan (or switch to a different one) you'll now see that you can choose to have the plan selected prescribed with specific diet restriction in mind, such as vegetarian, no red meat, no pork, etc. Some of the options have been grayed out as they are not yet available -- those selections will be added in the coming weeks.

As mentioned in a prevous post, we added Calories Burned to the Tracker, but we had not finalized display. We have now also updated the display by simplifying some of the controls, adding a "Workout Score Card" similar to what we have on the diet side to track Actual and Target calories burned, and improving the cals burned display within the tracker.

We also have added the "My Board Posts" functionality to the Community section. From this page you'll be able t...

If you think it looks a little tacked on right now we are making some design changes to the tracker to better integrate the addition but we decided to launch the change first so that you all could use it. So please bear with us.

We also have more message board post improvements that will soon be added, to be quickly followed by a new, easier way to create workouts.

So, the user swaps in a new exercise. However, once that workout is submitted and a new workout for next week ...
