Electronic weight loss program recommendations?

Two things actually:

1. What apps can you recommend for tracking weight loss;

2. What apps can you recommend for a food diary.

Or is there one app that does both?

Thanks in advance.

I'm loving My Fitness Pal because it's low tech enough for me to understand and use it daily. I also like that once I got my food preferences loaded and hit Remember Meal, etc, I rarely have to input new foods or custom foods. So it's very quick and convenient to load a day of food and know that I'm fairly close to hitting macro goals. It sinks to other activity programs but I have an old iPhone so don't ask it to do that which is over my head anyway.

I have only used MyFitnessPal for both food logging and and weight tracking. Very interested to hear what other apps are available though.

Baristatic app ! It is awesome. That is what I use to track food, water, protein. And you can set reminders for water, vitamins etc.

I use My Fitness Pal to track my weight loss, exercise, water intake, and to keep a food diary. I like that you can look at your days nutrition info to keep track of carbs, protein, fat, etc. Its free to use with an option to upgrade to a premium service, but I find the free version to have everything I need.

I second Baritastic. You can track vitamins, and it also syncs with my FitBit. You can also track weight and measurements if you want.

I'm oldschool. Plain old Fitbit app. Love it.

Fitbit app is my jam...all day long.

I personally do Weight Watchers, so I use their app. But I also often track on Sparkpeople, which I have been using and loving since 2004. I love that it has so many micronutrient options, because I love to track those (super important for us!).

Myfitnesspal. I'm old school. It tracks food. Graph shows your progress. Helps meet and see if you hit your calorie and macronutrient goals (protien etc) Tracks your exercise including syncing fitbit, map my run or map my walk...I'm sure their are more, It will graph for the week or month of meeting your calories and macros.

You can leave your food log open for others to see, Or keep it private ( I keep mine open.)

At the end of the day you submit and it tells you if everyday was like today you would weigh (calculates what you would weigh based on your food and exercise) gives me motivation to stay on track.

It also has a forum for many categories bariatrics, vegan, keto, fitness weightlifting etc. you can friend and message.....They are amazing people that are motivated inspiring, and positive.

I just had a friend recommend it yesterday,so today will be first day I try it.. My dietician called today I guess,I'm not eating any fruit cause I'm trying to stay away from sugar but she said I need fruit,so I guess ill try that to.

I also love Bariastic App. If you have trouble with chewing, there is a timer for 20 seconds. It covers it all!

I use my fitness pal. Surprisingly I love my high tech scale that records my weight into the progress bar. So last year on this day I weighed 120.9 and today 121.4. That for me is the same. Check!!! Also my fitness pal connects with friends!
