Lose It! Such a good app

I hate paying for apps, but I paid for a lifetime subscription to Lose It. It is extremely well made and I wanted to support the developers.

I use Qalzy. I think it's the only one that's 100% free and has no hidden subscriptions. It also has an AI scanner and a barcode scanner for quick logging

I use Chronometer but I am in Australia and it has a lot of supermarket items. I have found it accurate paired with the food scale.

Lose It has a forever sub so went with that

Honestly for what you're looking for, MyFitnessPal might still be your best option even though it has all the macro tracking stuff. You can totally just ignore all that and use the "Quick Add Calories" feature, just punch in your numbers and you're done. No need to search through foods or anything.

I get the frustration with over-complicated apps when you just want something simple. Most of these apps are built around the food database approach, but they usually have those quick-add options buried in there somewhere.

Actually this is exactly why we built Welling AI differently (It's available on the app store). Instead of forcing people into rigid tracking methods, you can just tell it what you ate conversationally. But for your specific use case where you already have the numbers calculated, MFP's quick-add is probably the fastest solution.

Try Diet Pulse. It's better than the all the paid apps

Try Lose It! . It helped me lose over 40 pounds.

I love my net diary, lets you scan barcodes for free, no annoying ads trying to sell you anything. Just mark and be done

I recently have been using a new AI calorie tracking app called “Ate It”. I have been enjoying it so far since it allows me to enter my daily meals quickly! I like that I’m able to just take a picture of my meal and log it especially since sometimes I’m either busy and don't have time to enter it manually and this feature really is so convenient! I would definitely recommend that you give it a try! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ate-it-ai-calorie-counter/id6743716326

Cronometer! Easy to use, lets you scan barcodes, free version is great (pro version is also great), helped me a ton with weight loss

I used to love MyFitnessPal - but also haven’t tried anything else other than weightwatchers

MyNetDiary

Macrofactor

Lose it

I use the tracker in my Fitbit app. I've tried My Fitness Pal and Chronometer but I didn't like them as much.

My Fitness Pal has been the one I have been the most consistent with over the years. I've used others- and keep coming back to MFP

I used MyFitnessPal.

Lose it allows you to log food in advance. This is awesome for planning for events.

Plus the interface is more user friendly. It gives nice prompts and I loved learning that I lost the weight of a lamp or corgi.

For me, I used to use My Fitness Pal, but between the inaccuracies in their food database and then putting barcode scanning behind a paywall I switched to Cronometer.

I like Cronometer because the database is at least reasonably accurate (although smaller in terms of processed and fast food chain foods), it has barcode scanning, and the big eye opener for me was the micronutrient tracking.

While Cronometer does have the basic calorie tracking down pretty well, I think their philosophy of Calorie Restriction Optimal Nutrition (CRON) is a better gauge of how healthy you are eating. I find that for the most part I can satisfy my nutritional needs in about half the calories I used to eat, I feel better and more satisfied with my food, and I’ve gone from 245->180 while using their app. I generally try to satisfy about 80% of my nutritional needs in as few calories as possible when first eating, and then after that I have the bulk of the calories to spend however I want - or just save them for my caloric deficit. It’s an interesting philosophy they’ve got going on and definitely helps avoid malnutrition while on a caloric restriction diet.

Interesting! Will try it.

Im using app and kitchen scale to track my calorie intake. Although not entirely correct for complicated meals , but i get the general idea.

Chatgpt is the best just write up how much oil what food you are cooking and give it more detail it will give you far more accurate calories than any app tracker app as it doesn't account for oil or ratio of foods(like if you are eating mutter paneer what the ratio of you using mutter and paneer you can just write how much it you are using in chatgpt and get more accurate answer)

Eating the same foods daily and weighing them using a kitchen scale and calories tracking apps like HealthifyMe and MyFitnessPal.

I used My Fitness Pal and a 300 rs kitchen scale from Amazon

Cal AI /s

myfitnesspal is a really popular one; has paid features, but you can get everything you need on free version

Cronometer for full control on macro and micro

Stupidsimplemacro tracker is goated. One time purchase too.

Following to see answers and hopefully reasons

MyFitnessPal - I use the free version BUT I'm assuming the paid version has more features available.

One other thing to mention - MyFitnessPal also syncs with my step tracker. It is a really good way to keep calories and exercise all in one place.

Thanks, I use MyFitnessPal, it has been really helpful

The meal plans in Yazio are pretty helpful

Do you pay for it?

I use My Net Diary - it has so many foods that you can search for, a barcode scanner and a simple ability to log food in any measurement you want to. I know a lot of people say My Fitness Pal is good but they don’t have a simple to option to add in grams of food etc, just the serving size which I find to be just another step as sometime I eat more/less than that

I like Fitia a lot, it makes tracking calories so much easier. It even has a meal plan if you prefer following recipes and foods. I use premium version, but it’s also free and if you want to go premium it’s one of the most affordable options out there

I use FitBee for the free barcode scanner function. The food database isn’t as good as Myfitnesspal, but it’s easy to enter nutrition labels by scanning them so it’s not a huge deal when I run across things it doesn’t have yet.

I personally like Cronometer, which was recommended by my dietician. It tracks a lot of nutrition data beyond calories and macros, like fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, etc., and has really handy reports. Also has settings for fasting and keto approaches

I agree, I started with MFP and now using LoseIt

Why do you think lose it is the best
