Weight/diet tracker app for Itouch?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use a diet tracker app with an Itouch or I phone?

I have seen a few but not sure which one is best for us?

Any ideas gratefully recieved.

I use Livestrong, it's OK, but I am presurgery and haven't been counting carbs. I haven't figured out how to get it to show a total carb count or Protein count for the day.

I use Myfitnesspal but I don't know if they have and "i" app. I'm going to check it out for my new iPhone, or else I'll just get there through the browser. I think it's the easiest of all the trackers.

myfitnesspal has a free Iphone/Itouch/Ipod app, I use it and love it. I used all the other ones out there, and I love, love, love that I don't have to sync my data from my Iphone to the web version, it all translates over on it's own.

Plus, I have never found one food or drink item that myfitnesspal didn't have in their database like many of the tracking websites that I tried and got frustrated with pretty quickly.

Thanks for the tips - I'll check them out.

I did find Fitnesspal, but you have to be online to update, and we don't have Wifi at home, so updating is a fiddle, but will compare and see what they are like.

I use Nutrition Menu; very good, you can journal on there too, record your weights, exercise, the whole deal!

I've tried just about everything and am using Lose It right now. Very fast to add new foods and you can choose which nutritional values to track. It also tells me how many calories I'm under for the day which is helpful since I'm still in liquides and getting enough in is a problem for me.

I think they all have pretty much the same features. Mine doesn't support PC tracking which was nice but I'm getting along just fine with only the iPhone for now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
