What Apps do you use to track your daily intake etc?



Recommended Posts

Hi all! Just doing some research, I really need to track what I put in my mouth! I've been slacking, I see lots of different choices. Does anyone have a favorite Iphone app they use?

Ok I don't have any apps that I us to keep track of what I eat but if you are looking for a runnin app. Zmbies, Run 5k or Zombies, Run full app is a great app.

Its a story while you run and it motivates you by having zombies chase you. You can hear them groanng and breathing as they get closer to you.

The k version will train you to do a 5k in 8 weeks. 3 runs a week.

I am now on the full version.

Sorry I know this doesn't help you with your question but you said you were slacking and getting out and moving will help as well.

I use My Fitness Pal. It not only tracks your intake, but also your output (exercise). What I like is you can adjust some of the daily goals-for me it was tracking the Protein. I really like the nutritional summary-it helps me see what basic nutrients I may be lacking so I can change my focus.

My Fitness Pal also integrates with other apps

My fitness pal as well. But my dr has me doing the south beach diet so I'm really not tracking calories. So I have been using a good old fashion little note book.

I was thinking of following South Beach, how long have you been following it and do you think it works well for us? I got an offer in email today for a South Beach book free with $4.95 shipping so I thought I would look into it.

I have my fitness pal, Fitday mobile and My Net Diary Pro, and the last one is the one I use consistently and the one I find easiest to use. It tracks everything and has an easy to use bar code scanner and recipe entering feature. It tracks calories, Protein, fat and carbs and you can set goals and it also tracks output. My Net Diary is the least annoying and most complete one I have found. I paid for it once and it also downloaded onto my ipad and is accessible online as well.

I have been using My Fitness Pal. It integrates well with the FitBit thingy and tracks everything I need to track. I use it on my laptop but I also have it on my iPhone.

      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.
