Great Android App For Food Intake

[DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703]

Hi All!

I just had to share a pretty cool app I've been using the last couple weeks. It's called "Lose It!" and it's free on the Android market.

Unlike others, making an online account isn't required (but it is possible). It tracks your weight loss, goals, and food intake. The cool thing is, it's all adjustable to meet your specific needs.

I use it to track my food. Everything I eat, I enter. You can enter food by brand name, scanning them via bar code, or manual entry. Once you've used a certain food once it's easy to "pick from previous meals" and use it again.

I really like it also tracks nutrients. On any given day, I can see how many grams of Protein I've consumed, what percentage of my diet was carbs vs. Proteins, fat consumed, etc. Of course it also shows calories consumed. It'll also showing me weekly averages. I find this very helpful, especially for tracking my Protein intake, because I see the big picture at a glance and know specifically what I need to change (or what's working and not to change).

When you set it up the first time, it'll ask your starting weight and goal weight. Then, it'll ask how fast you want to lose it, the most possible being 2 pounds a week. It will then calculate how many calories you can consume daily to reach your goal. As you loose weight and enter it in, it not only tracks your weight loss but also adjusts the number of calories you can consume.

If you don't want to consume a high amount of calories (like me), you also have the option to adjust your daily intake goal.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share my find with you all.

Cool!! Thanks! Do you find it to have a lot of foods, or do you have to add in a lot of the foods you eat?

The only thing it didn't already have was the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes. But even then, all I did was scan the bar code and it added it for me in seconds. It's really quick and easy.

Oh, it even has restaurant foods in it! So you can easily track when eating out!
