Favorite tracking app?



Recommended Posts

What's your favorite tracking app? I'm looking for a good app to track Protein, calories, carbohydrates, and exercise. I've only used weight watchers so I have no idea what most people use! Thanks!

MyFitnessPal is the one I use, and is very popular here.

I'm a fan of Sparkpeople. It's free, like I think the others mentioned above are.

Was just looking at my fitness pal. Question. I looked up canned tuna. The only thing I saw was the information for 1 can serving. Say I have 2 oz, do I just have to manually calculate by breaking down how much each oz is? Either by looking at the label or the info in the tracker? Or is there another way to see how much would be in each oz with that app? I can't see a way. An app that would do that would be very convenient! I suppose the easiest way would be just to have half the can at 2.5 oz and just divide all the nutritional info by 2. I just don't want to get into the habit of eating more food than I would otherwise bc of the more convenient math :P

I use MyFitnessPal and pair it with my FitBit too. I have also used LoseIt! before and I really like it too but now I pretty much stick with MFP.

I got obsessive with MyFitPal and it was too much so now I just use weight tracker to show me my stats I no longer log my intake because they aren't set for bariatric patients and I didn't find it to be very accurate where exercise is concerned either

Also a devotee of MyFitnessPal. I pair that with my FitBit pedometer.

Same here! I use MyFitnessPal (MFP) and a Fitbit One. Keeps me TOTALLY motivated every day (and I'm 11 months post-op!)

You can set My Fitness Pal for any levels you want. I have mine dialed in to what my NUT suggested. I have to measure or I know I would screw up so that works best for me.

I also use myfitnesspal and a fitbit. I love the combo.

The great thing about my myfitnesspal phone app is that i can scan bar codes and it adds them to my food diary in about 2 seconds.

Fun, convenient and motivating.

      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. 🤞
