Best single app for everything?



Recommended Posts

Hey y’all,

Is there a best single app for the following. Also, am I leaving anything out that I should track?

Calorie and Vitamin intake

food log

Drinking and eating reminders

Weightloss tracking

Exercise

Thanks in advance.

The major things to log is your food. You need to know your calories Protein and carbohydrates fats (macronutrients) Hit your protein goal. It's going to help you learn how to fuel your body correctly.

I'm not sure about the best. I just goto what works for me over the years.

I'm an oldschool Fitbit user. I like that it measures my calories burned, because that's my real goal everyday. I eat healthy and exercise until I have left a 1000 calorie deficit each day. If I want to eat more, I have to exercise more. If I want to take it easy, I go easier on the calories. Most days I burn 3000 calories. (now that I've been sleeved and have a calorie intake goal of around 1200 calories, this might change)

I like that the Fitbit (I use a Charger 2) keeps track of my sleep and heartrate and how my cardiovascular fitness is doing. I also like the challenges with other friends who use it.

I just my fitbit app. I track weight, exercise, sleep and food on it. I don’t know if it does everything you want but it does a lot and I’ve been very happy with it.

I like Baritastic, I tried LoseIt, but prefer Baritastic. I also have a fitbit - not crazy about logging food on it.

I use Baritastic for the journal feature and the syncing to my surgery center—if you “sync” it to your faculty you should have access to all the pre and post op instructions/resources. I track my food and exercise with my fitness pal.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
