Which food tracking app are you using?



Recommended Posts

Good Morning!

I have downloaded several food tracking apps but haven't found one that fits my needs quite yet. What I am looking for is one similar to the weight watcher one that has an extensive food database & caloric/protein calculations etc. Just curious as to what you are using.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations

Have a great day!

I use My Fitness Pal. You can customize the daily requirements to meet your needs, and I have not yet found a food the is not listed in its data base. You can also track your activities, and synch it with several digital tracking systems. I use it every day. I find it much easier to use than the weight watchers app I used in the past.

I also use myfitnesspal.com. It is free. It works well with a lot of other apps. It remembers your favorites. It's easy to link up with friends and family if you wish to do so.

I use endomondo to track my walks and the results are on myfitnesspal by the time I log in after the walk.

Three plus years of using My Fitness Pal and still going strong. I'd be lost without it. Regardless of the app that you use, next to the surgery itself, I believe that maintaining a food log is the single most powerful tool that you can have in your arsenal. It can be tedious and frustrating. But once you get in the habit, it becomes second nature. I know of no other option that even comes close to the control and confidence a food log gives you. You're gonna love the new you!

I downloaded an app from iTunes called ProteinTracker. It costs about 4.00 but it lets you set the Protein goal and then also provides you with fat/carb percentages. Ever since I downloaded it, I've been able to hit my protein goal. I tried the FitnessPal since it was free but I wanted something more straightforward since protein is a prime focus. Don't mind paying a small fee if it keeps me where I need to be.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
