What App Do You Use To Track Food?



Recommended Posts

I HATE manually tracking food & calorie counting on pen & paper. What app do you use to track food & exercise? I go back to work next week & would like an easy way to track this to monitor progress so I have an accurate log to discuss with my surgeon for fills.

I have the "Lose It" app on my phone. I have an Android phone and downloaded it for free. It's pretty spiffy!

My fitness pal is free as well. I had lose it and really liked it but I liked being able to friend everyone on myfitnesspal because of accountability and ease of discussion and when someone has a great day or loses a few lbs the encouragement and congrats are very uplifting!!

Apparantly, I've used it before because I had a user is & last logged into it in 2010! Lol. I don't know how to add people. Feel free to add me. My username is Kadeez. I definitely need the accountability part of it. Does anyone know what the real website is for the computer?

I can't stand any of them. I have tried a couple of times and given up.

My fitness pal is annoying because it does not have some of the foods I eat and the serves are strange. For example instead of a serving of crackers being listed as 1 cracker or 2 or whatever it will give it in weight - I do not weigh all my food.

I have tried Calorie King which has more local Australian foods but still does not do what I need it to do.

I think they probably work Ok if you exclusively eat preprepared or convenience foods. I cook and there is no way that I am going to measure and weigh all my ingredients and then enter my recipes. That is too much pain for not enough gain.

I am also trying to avoid the diet mentality. I got the band so that I could stop dieting, if I am constantly obsessing over every mouthful and entering it on the computer then that is very much being on a diet. For me my band is for life and it helps me to eat like a normal skinny person. I know what sort of foods I should be choosing.

I don't recall ever trying myfitnesspal.. Do they have forums and such or is it just a food and fitness tracker? I suppose I could just go and investigate. :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
