Hey everyone! Just wondering how you all log your food, liquid intake, Protein intake, exercise, etc. I've used MyFitnessPal in the past but is there anything out there that is easier? Or more bariatric friendly? Thanks so much!!!

I use myfitness pal and find it to be useful. I've tried using just the fitbit app, and that's less helpful. I'd be interested to know if there is anything else out there that's better.

I have been using MFP with my FitBit for just over a year. The combination works well for me. MFP covers most of the nutrition needs. It is rare that I can't account for foods in the listing and I can always add recipes and log favorites

I'm with them I use MFP. Even though I eat less than recommended it still is a great tool. If you decided to use it again please feel free to add me. Lovelytrl

My fitness pal. Works great for me.

I use MFP too. I find it pretty easy - maybe it's improved since you used it? I love that I can save meals and it remembers the items I eat regularly. I find it to be super quick and easy to use - and so many foods/products are in there!

Thank y'all so very much!! I'm gonna have to check out this FitBit thingy too

I will absolutely add you!

Got it!

If you use MFP and have the smartphone app, you can scan bar codes, which is great. Especially if you eat frozen meals a lot or are on the go.

When using mfp how do you determine how many carbs, fat and protein to put in?

I use pencil and paper... I write down foods that did not agree with me ... I may wait awhile and try them again... If it happens again....I write NO!!! I like to have everything on a notebook so I can reflect on it! Yes... I have all the apps and a fitbit... But the old fashion way is the best for me....

Same here, I found the best thing for me was to buy a composition book, on the left side of the paper I've got Water, Protein, calories and sugar (that's what my dietician want me to track) and then in the right paper I write the times I eat, drink, or take medicine/vitamins... Writing how much and of course if the food did not sit well. It's old school but I find it really easy.... I'm eating basically the same things so far, three weeks out and in the soft food diets, so it's easy to do this right now.
