    I remember I saw these at the GNC in New York, but I can't find one anywhere online.

    They were clickers for grams of carbs, proteins, fats. I have my diet worked out to exactly how many grams of each I want to eat in a day, and I need to start tracking more diligently. A clicker would be great.

    If any of you play golf, they looked like the clickers golfers use to keep score.

    I think maybe there was only one thing you could count, though, like protein or carbohydrates, not all three. I was thinking it would be a challenge just to construct a cliicker that would be able to count into the hundreds with three separate displays. You'd need at least six wheels on it.

    Anybody seen anything like this? Know where I can get one online?

    Check the GNC website. We sell them at the North Miami Store I work at. Plus sporting goods shops might sell them online, but I'm not sure which ones. Then there's always EBAY, if you can't find it there it probably doesn't exist. lol I got a REALLY good deal on Boxing shoes up there.

    Oh and before any of you pundits decides to post about how shitty GNC is, consider that the Moderator of this forum works there before you open your mouth.

    I did check the GNS website, Kabuki, but I wasn't sure what these things were called. I tried "gram counter" and "calorie counter". Do you know what their specific name is? That would make it a lot easier to browse the web and eBay for them.

    I'll go browse the GNC categories, for now, but if you know what they're called, that would solve my problem.

    Also, have the ones you've seen have counters for all three maconutrients, or just one?

    I work at the North Miami store on Thursday. I'll see if we have any there and I'll let you know. In the meantime I'll see if I can find them online myself between now and then.

    Found this at GNC:
    Carb Counter

    Don't know why it didn't come up earlier when I also checked "carb counter".

    This is cool. It's computerized, it doesn't use the wheel system like the golf stroke counters.

    I really want one that counts all three macronutrients, though, not just carbs. A computerized one shouldn't have a problem doing that.

    What a sham.

    Well, this thing here is exactly what I'm looking for. It HAD to cost one hundred and twenty fucking dollars:
    Dietcalc Calorie Counter
