Best Calorie And Nutrition Tracker?



Recommended Posts

I am doing a high protien diet while I wait to find out if I have been approved by my insurance for surgery and I was wondering what is the best online tracker of calories consumed with a complete run down of the nutrients consumed also? I really appreciate your suggestions!

MyFitnessPal is by far my favorite. There are tons of users from here on there as well - you can "friend" them and chat there also. Their food library is enormous, you can add custom foods and recipes, and it's really easy to use.

They have an app for smart phones as well...at least for the iPhone. I'm not sure about Droids. I use an app called Lose It. I really like it. I do use My Fitness Pal for their recipe feature. It allows you to add the ingredients of a homemade dish to find out what the nutrition stats are.

MyfitnessPal for me too. You can also add friends and see their diary which can help you get food ideas. They do have a driod version too.

I love the My Fitness Pal app.! You can actually scan a products bar code with the tap of a button then add the item to your daily menu (adjusting potion size accordingly!) I love the weekly summaries and the easy to read pie chart that shows o/o of carbs consumed throughout the day. It's keeping me accountable on my Pre-surg. meal plan. 

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
