Great App For Tracking Food/protein Input



Recommended Posts

I love this app for my iPone. I'm sure you can get it for other HH devices. It's really handy as I'm 1 week post-op and tracking everything that goes in my body. I'm currently in the post-op liquid phase. The app is called "MyFitnessPal". Search for it in your app store. A couple things I really love about this app.

1. There is an option to scan the UPC code on the side of ALL items you eat and it will login the food & all nutrition facts. So, when I have a cup of Greek Yogurt, I simply scan the bar-code & it logs everything in. Really cool.

2. It summarizes your input for the day so you'll know your calories & Protein for the day.

Makes the tracking thing really easy. The app is also for iPad & you can login through your browser to use on all platforms.

Maybe I'm repeating something someone else already mention....but I couldn't find this...so here ya go.

Hope it helps.

I was sleeved last friday and I'm down 28 lbs from the start of my pre-op liquid diet. Excited to be on the journey.

LOL...I added the website you referenced and entered my intake for today and at the end it warned me that I was by no means getting enough calories!! I was sleeved Monday, so nope not getting anywhere near the 1200 calories they recommend. I do like the way it totals it up for me and I can scan the items. Thsnks for sharing. I was using MyDailyPlate, but like this one better.

I use one called "Calorie Counter" & I love it! It has a bar code scanner, all major chains, calculates fat, calories, Protein & Carbs. Has some other cool features that I don't use much.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
