You could use NSDateComponents, but you can count days simply by taking the difference of each date's timeInterval. NSTimeInterval is a floating point number that counts the number of seconds.

#define kSecondsInDay 86400

int numberOfDays = [date2 timeIntervalSinceDate:date1] / kSecondsInDay;

By only specifying the NSDayCalendarUnit flag when creating the date components, you will get the number of days as result of [breakdownInfo day].
