I just started the program and I need to keep a food log. Is there an app that can help me with my protein,fat.and calorie intake for my meals for the month that's easy to use?

App called my fitness pal

its an awesome app loaded with all the food already just click the amount you are having and it completely logs all of your nutritional information

I use Bariastic. It also has bariatric friendly recipes for different stages. It keeps up with calories, protein, water, weight, measurements, etc. It's super easy and simple to use. Not a bunch of bells and whistles. Some people can link it to their program and the dr's can see. Mine doesn't, but it's available for some people. It's a free app as well.

You are wonderful thank you I have 2 more appointments with the dietitian she said that I needed to log my food better. So thank you

Thank you so much.

Oh, I forgot with the Bariastic, you can also time your chewing, between drinking and meals. It's a lot like My Fitness Pal, but like I said it's simple and focused on Bariatric consumers.

I just started using Bariastic, and it’s really complete. And it can send you a report , measurements, food log etc. which you can print out. I love it!

Holy crap I just downloaded that app it’s awesome

thanks

Thank you for this information! I just downloaded it myself! I am super excited to start logging liquids so i dont have to manually track

I tried Bariastic, and stayed with MyFitnessPal. I even subscribe to MFP for the extra features.

I prefer the MFP because it's simpler and less finger strokes to enter food, and I don't need to be hand held for chewing food.

I've always been hands free from my mobile while eating. I think the best thing is to try out the 2 recommended My Fitness Pal and Bariastic. Someone mentioned less key strokes for MFP and that was the whole reason I deleted it was there was too much going on and I just wanted a simple app to log foods. It felt more like a forum or social media than a simple site. But that's my opinion. I have checked out both. I'm sure there's more. I've even thought about going the old school route and just using plain pen and paper.

I know your question is in the pre-op. Pre-op, you eat a lot more food than post-op. Post-op I have been on normal foods for a long while now, and I generally eat right, so now I just mentally log my Protein (most important) and Water amounts on most days.
