phone apps that keep track of calories



Recommended Posts

When I was at the Dr. office last week he suggested I get an app on my phone to keep track of calories, Protein etc. If you have an Iphone the app is called looseit. I have a Droid so I went looking for an app. I downloaded 3 and here is the best one: calorie counter.

It has a food diary where you call log everything you eat. All the restaurants & chains, popular brands, supermarket brands and about every food I have needed to find. It gives calories, fat, carbs, Proteins, fibers & sugar. It will total for the meal and day and sync it with a website called fatsecret.com if you need to print a report. Here is the best feature it has a bar scan reader. Click – focus and all the info is in your food diary. I would never write down what I eat but I will click, click, click.

Hope someone finds this useful.

I've downloaded it on my phone and registered on my laptop. Thanks for the heads-up.

There are alot of options in the Android market and it helps to have other to help narrow the choice down.

I have the Droid and LOVE LOVE LOVE Calorie Counter app. As stated above, the best is the barcode scanner :) Once you load it in, it saves in a list and you just search your recent entries and find it again and add it to your meal. You can change the headers to track whatever nutrients are important to you...I track calories, Protein & carbs. Not too worried about fat as I know I'm making smart choices so fat is not an issue. It's great to take a quick look at your phone, see that you have 40 grams of protein in so far and make your next food choice based on that information!

I use lose it and also post everything I put in my mouth on this website under the food journaling thread. Really makes me disciplined knowing I have to post on 2 different places.

There may not be any apps out there like the kind I'm looking for but I have been looking for an app that helps you plan daily or weekly meal plans. Or something to that liking. I have found an app that helps you choose better food choices with healthier ingredients... Iphone-Shop to Lose.

Does anyone know of any apps (or even websites) out there that may be similar to this?

Can anyone recommend a good app for the Blackberry? I tried downloading a free one but it doesn't seem to work well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
