What do you all use to track calories, protein, water?

I can't find an app I like or that has what I need. I have an android.

I use MyFitnessPal and love it. I also use a garmin fitness track which links to MyFitnessPal, so the food I log shows up on the garmin site. If you're a fitbit person, fitbit has its own proprietary tracker built in to its app. Other people like bariatric specific apps, but I haven't used them yet so I can't comment.

I use sparkpeople and really like it. I also use a fitbit, so use that app to track exercise.

For vitamins, I have an app called Good Habits that I'd been using for habit formation. You set a habit, say when you want to do it, then check when it's been done. It then tells you your trends in what you're doing. for example, pre WLS, I wanted to get in the habit of bringing my lunch to work, so I set that up as a habit. I could see how well I was doing or not. So, I set up my vitamin schedule in there (it will also send a reminder) and check them off when I take them.

I use MyPlate. It keeps track of your calories, carbs, protein, fat, and water

Do you just type in the food item with size & the program calculates macros for you or do you have to put that in yourself?

I use MyFitnessPal.com. It tracks calories, protein, fat, all sorts of things, exercise, water intake, and more. I use it on my Android Samsung Galaxy 8 phone.

I think they all pretty much do that. I know sparkpeople will also let you put in a recipe and how many servings and it'll calculate the macros for a serving. It will also let you save groupings. So, for example, I drink hot cocoa - so I have a grouping with 1 c. fairlife milk, 1TBL cocoa, & 1 packet stevia saved to use.

I think most of the apps do this.

Baritastic. Love it.

Hi there, my OH used Lose It! to dump 3st the old fashioned way and I've found it worked for me pre and now for one week post sleeve. It has configurable macronutrient goals and you can add bespoke goals.

Not checked if fluids are a configurable goal, but I just add mine as X ml of whatever as snacks whenever I finish a bottle/cup and tot up myself.

I'm a bit of a privacy paranoid so would never link Google fit app or say Fitbit, but you can, and when all's said and done if we're on Google controlled Android well... :-)

Surprised no one has mentioned Baritastic yet. I believe it’s the best app. I use it to track weight, food, tape-measurements, water, goals and milestones. It also links to a Facebook support group with over 44,000 members. It even has some great recipes built in that I have tried and loved. I used to track my exercise there too, but I recently started tracking my exercise in Fitbit (which also has some great food and water tracking).

I use My Diet Coach (free app)

What are Macros?

Protein-Carbs-Fat-Sugars

My dietician recommend the baritastic app and I really like it. I have an Android. Everything is right there when you open it up and you can save your pre surgery measurements and pictures on it and then update as you go. It's really helping me pay attention to what I'm eating and how much water I'm drinking.

Baritastic!!!!!!! Love it Has all the reminders and alerts you want to send to yourself. Plus email yourself your weight chart.

I use Baritastic app.too for tracking all these things AFVet mentioned.
