Best food tracking sites/apps?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a favorite site to track food and exercise? I've used Sparkpeople in the past, but I'm wondering if there are any better ones out there.

Extra points for a site that has an mobile/iphone version as well!

I use this one too because it's also an iPhone app :frown:. It's very user friendly, intuitive, and thorough with tracking food, exercise, and Water consumption then adjusting calories accordingly as well as a full run down of your nutritional intake. Also it graphs your weight and measurements toward your goal.

It also has a pretty comprehensive food database. I have yet to not find anything that I've eaten in the food search. If you should come across something that's not already there you can update it with your own additions.

I love my LoseIt! on my iphone. I also use an app Runkeeper to track my walks/distance/speed and another app called gym buddy to track my gym workouts. Its all on my iphone along with my workout music, did I mention I love that phone LOL

I've been using fitday off and on for years. It's user friendly and I like that it's easily customizable.

I use calorie counter on my droid. It has a massive data base with restaurants, store brand and name brand foods. It tracks my weight loss and goal on a graph. Tracks excersize and calories in/calories out. It also tracks Protein, carbs, ww points, fat and a ton of other stuff u can customize to track for a daily goal. And u can compare days too. When I search for something it tells me what percentage of my daily calories it is and the full nutritional profile. And did I mention it has a scanner that makes grocery shopping a breeze? And it syncs with a web site that is awesome. Oh and did I mention its all free? I love this app!! Sorry for being so choppy. I'm typing on my phone cause hubbub and I r in Vegas

hi,

i use the daily burn food scanner for iphone. you can even scan the barcode of the items that you eat to get the nutritional information and add it to favorites.

if you have a mac computer you can also sync it on that.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
