What apps do you use.

Sorry if this has been asked in the past. What apps does everyone use for tracking carbs, calories, Protein, weight loss etc.? Is there one single app out there where I can track it all? Thanks in advance

@@gustavio, do you have it set up with your weight? I wonder if I manipulated that or took it out, if it would work?

Yes. I never eat more than 700-800 calories either.

I opened it back up and adjusted some of my numbers. It still thinks I need a minimum of 2500 calories a day. I am taking in somewhere between 800-1200, depending on my menu for that day. It doesn't like that at all.

Question for those using My Fitness Pal. Do you just ignore the big red warning that keeps popping up to say you aren't eating enough? MFP worked great pre-op, but now that I am post-op, it will not allow me to complete a day's entries.

I ignore the message. You can still close out the day, they just won't give you the estimate of what you'll lose in the next six weeks.

I really do wish there was a bariatric surgery override somewhere, but then those with eating disorders could misuse it so I understand why it isn't available.

Thank you. I didn't think it was closing the day out, because it kept popping the warning up. I don't really care if it predicts anything or not.

As for your second statement, I understand why THEY don't make it available (lawyers and all that) but I am a personal responsibility kind of a guy. Even though I am fat, I never blamed my fork, and all that. Just because people misuse a tool or product doesn't mean it should not be available to those who would not.
