I really enjoy this app and prefer it over my fitness pal. However, since one of the latest updates, when creating a new food and adding the nutritional info such as calories, protein etc, when you enter a field, the views scrolls right to the bottom of the page, so you have to scroll back up to where you were entering the numbers and add there. It’s a bit frustrating when entering the full nutritional info of new food products. Some features that might be good to include in future update: the ability to add protein, fibre etc goals to see how you’re tracking along the day, also the ability to see your macro nutritient breakdown of calories consumed, eg 30% protein, 40% carbs, 30% fat, along with the ability to set targets on the ratios.

I’ve been using the Calorie King for many years. It’s a great food database for Australians which includes the vast majority of Australian grocery items as well as unpackaged foods.
It’s very easy to add foods to a meal and create recipes to calculate macros. I like that you can see the macros for individual items, meals and the whole day (other apps only let you see the cumulative macros *cough My Fitness Pal). As well as using the app you can also log onto the website and make entries - although the FAQ say you can’t.
The reporting features could do with some finessing. You can only see your total calories by day. It would be great to see graphs of individual macros (carbs, protein, fat) by day and even filtered by meal. Likewise it would be great to see some summaries and daily averages for a weekly/monthly period.
Currently exercise calories are automatically deducted from calories consumed. It would be great to have an option to record exercise calories but not include in the daily net calories.
Integration with the Apple Health app would be awesome and perhaps Apple Watch reminders when you haven’t added a meal and how many calories you have remaining for the day.
The ability to extract the entries so they can be printed or sent to a health professional would also be great.
Otherwise this is a fab and easy to use app for Australians 🇦🇺

I’ve struggled to lose and keep off weight for a long, long time. This app has been critical to not just loss, but sustained change. You will learn foods you thought were “healthy” actually aren’t (ps I break up with you cheese). It helps you track your weight loss, exercise burnt calories etc. it takes away the guilt or a cheat meal if you know exactly what you need to do to burn it off. Ie in 8 weeks I’ve lost 16 kilos and counting. I also enjoyed KFC with my family this week for my Monthly cheat meal. I then walked 7.6km (Runtastic is amazing by the way) and burnt off the entire meal. I went to bed guilt free and the next day woke up to weight loss! Loss after KFC!

Honestly this has changed my life, my health and my marriage.

Thank you
