phone apps that keep track of calories



Recommended Posts

When I was at the Dr. office last week he suggested I get an app on my phone to keep track of calories, Protein etc. If you have an Iphone the app is called looseit. I have a Droid so I went looking for an app. I downloaded 3 and here is the best one: calorie counter.

It has a food diary where you call log everything you eat. All the restaurants & chains, popular brands, supermarket brands and about every food I have needed to find. It gives calories, fat, carbs, Proteins, fibers & sugar. It will total for the meal and day and sync it with a website called fatsecret.com if you need to print a report. Here is the best feature it has a bar scan reader. Click – focus and all the info is in your food diary. I would never write down what I eat but I will click, click, click.

Hope someone finds this useful.

I've downloaded it on my phone and registered on my laptop. Thanks for the heads-up.

There are alot of options in the Android market and it helps to have other to help narrow the choice down.

I have the Droid and LOVE LOVE LOVE Calorie Counter app. As stated above, the best is the barcode scanner :) Once you load it in, it saves in a list and you just search your recent entries and find it again and add it to your meal. You can change the headers to track whatever nutrients are important to you...I track calories, Protein & carbs. Not too worried about fat as I know I'm making smart choices so fat is not an issue. It's great to take a quick look at your phone, see that you have 40 grams of protein in so far and make your next food choice based on that information!

I use lose it and also post everything I put in my mouth on this website under the food journaling thread. Really makes me disciplined knowing I have to post on 2 different places.

There may not be any apps out there like the kind I'm looking for but I have been looking for an app that helps you plan daily or weekly meal plans. Or something to that liking. I have found an app that helps you choose better food choices with healthier ingredients... Iphone-Shop to Lose.

Does anyone know of any apps (or even websites) out there that may be similar to this?

Can anyone recommend a good app for the Blackberry? I tried downloading a free one but it doesn't seem to work well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
