Sorry if this has been asked in the past. What apps does everyone use for tracking carbs, calories, Protein, weight loss etc.? Is there one single app out there where I can track it all? Thanks in advance

Myfitnesspal for me. With myfitnesspal I can add and adjust recipes and track my weight and set goals for carbs and Protein and calories and track my meals. When I get a Fitbit it will also sync with that.

I use a small journal. I have my most common foods written down on the back pages so it is easy for me to add the details to my entries. I look up the details on myfitnesspal. Also each weekend I do measurements and they are in there as well. It is much better than any app that I found.

I use MyFitnessPal for tracking. In addition it ties in with my fitness tracker (misfit shine). I think it works with most fitness trackers.

I take a similar approach to @ except I use a word document on my computer. I track all the macros and use myfitnesspal (and other online resources) to get the information I need. I also record measurements and weight once per week on Mondays.

I use spark people app to track meals and weight. I use my fitbit for exercise and Water. I set hourly alarms on my fitbit to remind me to drink Water. During the work days I can forget to drink, especially since I had to move my water bottle. The sun hitting it caused it to randomly spit water at me. Lol

I've been using fitday.com every day since 2009 to log every bite or drink I have. I still love to go back and look at what I was eating when I was 293+ in early 2009 hehe. I also love to look at my weight graph through the years. Their android app though sucks big time (fitnesspal much better app if you use your phone), so unfortunately one has to go to their laptop to use it. Lots of graphs, stats... Etc.

The two I use on my phone (not for logging food but support): Awesome app for any eating disorder, it's called RR Eating Disorder management. Oh man, it's such an awesome app. I also use My Diet Coach Pro.

I use my fitness pal. And it it worth the extra money to pay for premium membership (I figure I am saving all that extra money on groceries anyway!). You can track all your macros, exercise, Water intake, and integrate it with your Fitbit. I can even take a picture whenever I weigh myself and compare as I lose weight. You can add ingredients to homemade recipes you like and get the nutrient breakdown per serving. MyFitnessPal is the way to go!

It looks like MyFitness Pal is the consensus here - thanks for everyone's input. I have been trying Baritastic, but finding it a bit awkward.

Question for those using My Fitness Pal. Do you just ignore the big red warning that keeps popping up to say you aren't eating enough? MFP worked great pre-op, but now that I am post-op, it will not allow me to complete a day's entries.

Mine never gives me that warning.

      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.
