Best iPhone app for tracking calories, carbs, exercise?

So, I've tried out MyFitnessPay and FitDay so far. MyFitnessPal is cool, but the food search tool is quirky. If I search for Chobani it doesn't recognize it, if I scan the barcode on my yogurt, it doesn't recognize it (dang, I had such high hopes for that!), but if I search for greek yogurt, sure enough, there in the list is the Chobani nonfat peach yogurt I'm eating half of for Breakfast this morning. Hmm....

Beyond that, I like the detailed breakdown of my nutritional intake for the day. I'm hoping if I keep using it, I eat the same things often enough that it won't seem so tedious to enter foods every day.

I'm new to FitDay, but the food database appears to be very small - it doesn't recognize Chobani or greek yogurt.

Any other recommendations? If there's an app you'd recommend, please indicate what you think are its best features. Thanks!!

I like fatsecret.com .

Does your surgeon participate in "realize my sucess"? I don't know if you can create an account if your surgeon is not already affiliated with the program, but worth looking into. It is AWESOME. It keeps track of everything - diet, exercise, goals, pics, inches, etc. It also has recipes and words of encouragement. I log on and input my data via the computer but it is also available thru mobile devices.

The website is:

www.realize.com

Good Luck with whatever you choose!:rolleyes:

When i searched chobani the peach fat free came up in the list, not sure whats up. I have the app on my iphone. I like myfitnesspal cuz it has the largest food database.

I just registered at realize and they don't let you use alot of the functions until post surgery - so I can't track exercise for example. I have been using livestrong.com which is a great website, but lousy smart phone app.
