Calorie Counting/tracking Website Advice



Recommended Posts

I am looking to find an easy to use online calorie counter/tracking system. I tried to use the Realize My Success one and most of the foods I entered were not found on the website. Any suggestions would be great. I hope to find one with a large food library. Thank you!

I use myfitnesspal and so do many others from here.

It's easy to use and if you want you can even input you'd personal recipe ingredients into the system and it calculates all of the nutrition info for you.

You can have your food diary private where only you see it, or where just your friends can see it. That helps keep me accountable, knowing people will check out my day. It's also a great site for support and encouragement.

Good luck.

I second myfitnesspal. I used to use live strong, butr after seeing so many people here use mfp, I switched and like it so much better. I love their forum, I've learned so much. Also the App is great for my phone, I can see the breakdown of all my macro nutrients that I've hard for the day right there (which I could not on the live strong app). I highly recommend it.

I use the free app Calorie Counter on my Droid phone.... its hooked into fatsecret.com so you can track online too.

I cant recall the last time I couldnt find what I was looking for. But in the event I do, it has a bar code scanner you just scan package of the food you are eating and poof... its in there. You can track weight and excerise on it as well.

Almost every chain restaurant is hooked in so that makes it super convenient!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
