NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Calorie Count (www.caloriecount.com), a free award-winning health and wellness Web site with more than 3.7 million members, has launched a Premium Service, which enables subscribers to more effectively reach their nutritional goals through expert personalized nutrition advice and support from registered dietitians.

The first paid service offered by The New York Times Companys About Group, Calorie Counts Premium Service bridges the gap between valuable free, automated services like those Calorie Count will continue to offer and well-known but expensive diet plans. With subscriptions ranging from $9.99 to $29.99 per month, the Premium Service is designed to enable more online users to have affordable access to expert nutrition advice and support.

The Premium Service is an enhancement to Calorie Camp, Calorie Count's interactive and educational healthy lifestyle social network launched in December 2011. Calorie Camp members can set specific nutrition and wellness goals, track and share their daily food logs, and receive support and feedback from the Calorie Count community. Building upon Calorie Camps free functionality and support from the community, the Premium Service connects subscribers with a designated dietitian, who will review the members eating behaviors and food logging and offer personalized, ongoing nutritional guidance based on the users specific needs.

For years, Calorie Count has given consumers the power to change their health and lifestyles by providing tools, knowledge and support from our highly-engaged community, said Igor Lebovic, co-founder, CalorieCount.com. Now, by combining our existing free online tools with the efficiency of communication through the Web, we can offer our members access to expert feedback in a price range thats accessible for people who could not previously afford to work with a nutrition professional.

Calorie Counts Premium Service has monthly subscriptions for three levels of access:

Our Calorie Count community members are truly an inspiration. As a registered dietitian, theres no greater joy for me than to see them take control of their health and well-being, added Rachel Berman, director of nutrition for CalorieCount.com. Even the most conscientious dieter needs support and guidance. Our new Premium Service will enhance the online community by connecting us more directly with our members.

Calorie Counts Premium Service is the latest product in Calorie Counts growing lineup of healthy-living tools, created to aid members as they monitor their wellness goals, seek expert nutritional advice and interact with other members of Calorie Counts engaged community. Most recently, Calorie Count launched its first app for iPad, designed to help members easily and quickly track their progress with tools that take full advantage of the iPads unique functionality.
