I-Phone APP

[B-52 7,113]

Got a new phone the other day and I am looking for a good App.

I had a Blackberry, and the app I had was excellent. Counted calories, carbs, protien, etc, etc. Also could enter activities to show calories burned. Enter you weight and calculated you BMI.

Did about everything.

What I have found thus far will do one or 2 things, say count calories, but not keep track of protien, etc.

i second that... myfitnesspal is awesome! what i love is that you can update it online or on your app and it automatically is synched. it's been great for me and has really helped me with accountability.

I use The Daily Plate / LiveStrong. It's $45/year for the gold plan, which allows online and app access, full backup of all of your data, sharing your data, tracking of any and everything, adding meals and recipes (so it figures out the nutritional values), forums, challenges, and much more.

Granted it costs, but 12 cents a day is a very small cost for such a thorough site and most importantly - a site that will not take control of your information.

For anyone using MyFitnessPal, you should know that you have given them permission and ownership to anything and everything you upload including information, your photos, your journal entries, etc.

They can use your name, your username, your photos, your entries, anything you post at the site for their own gain. Including selling the information. And that doesn't apply to just them but also their affiliates, their sublicensees, their employees, etc.

I don't know how you feel about your personal privacy but I'm willing to pay 12 cents a day to make sure my information is kept private.
