MyFitnessPal Calorie count app
Generally, if you log your food intake it means you can monitor how much you’re consuming, therefore showing you what you’ve already eaten that day will hopefully help you decide what to choose for your next meal. There’s many calorie tracker apps available but MyFitnessPal is a popular choice and one of the most used calorie counter apps.
To begin with download the app, then to get started it will ask you for some basic information – input your weight and the goal weight you wish to achieve, it will then calculate a recommended daily calorie intake based on the details you’ve provided.
The app is clear and straightforward to use. The home screen shows how many calories you’ve consumed during the day as well as how much of your recommended intake remains. It also takes into account exercise you’ve done and calories burnt from exercising. It also contains a well-designed food diary and an exercise log. Each day is presented to you as a pie chart, showing the breakdown of carbs, protein and fat.
If you’re using a fitness tracking device, MyFitnessPal can likely sync with it and then include the data in the exercise log.
MyFitnessPal remembers your favourite meals and saves them, allowing you to log them quickly when you’re on the go. Also with a nutrition database containing over five million foods and by including many restaurant dishes it makes tracking effortless. In addition, the MyFitnessPal app has a barcode scanner which can be used for retrieving the nutritional details for some packaged foods.
