MyFitnessPal: Счетчик калори‪й‬ 17+

I am a beginner and I was referred to this app by a few YouTubers and then my doctor. Even though I have only been u
Using it for a couple of weeks, it has help me tremendously. I am new to tracking macros and a semi rookie at the weight lost journey. I was on a weight lost journey before but was force to stop due to an allergic reaction that trigger an autoimmune disease that force me to stop walking for a couple of years. I have tried before to understand reading the nutrition fact but was reading it so wrong. This app is a savor and helps me find substitution in food by simple scanning the label or taking a photo of my food. I am able to still eat the food I want be finding substitutions, logging it into myfitnesspal and prepping. This has helped me to find a medium in my edit lost journey where I am not as hungry through the day. I have even developed an appetite where I don’t crave as much. Tracking my macros has allowed me to cut back on my portions and calories to allow calorie deficit to lose weight while still feeling okay until the next meal. I have also purchased a food scale to help me measure my portion sizes so I can log them into Myfitnesspal. I wish I knew about this app a couple of years ago because being able to find more healthy substitutions to the food I like to eat, tracking my macros, and what I put into my body as I prepare make a huge difference then just guessing my way through it.

I started using this app seriously in mid-July. The database for foods is great and I up until recently just used the free version. During this time I lost 11 lbs. I set my profile to the lowest setting for activity and have my pedometer set to the app to add calories I get for walking. My goal is to just keep under the calories based on losing 1.5 LBS a week. My suggestion is record everything even if you go over (it will happen occasionally). But that’s ok because you can work harder the next day.
I finally did buy the premium version mainly for the export feature. I am an analyst by trade so I like to put my results into graphs and do monitoring beyond the app’s capabilities. I will stress it is not needed to lose weight. If you don’t want to spend time looking at your different nutrients then I would not spend the money on it. If you do it could be worth it.
I like how the app says you have a 67% chance of better success if you pay for the premium. They don’t tell you about the confounder. The reason that happens most likely is people who do buy the app in general are more serious about the long hall. This should not be viewed as a diet it needs to be viewed as a life change that you will do going forward. Once you reach your goal you then switch to maintenance so you keep your weight and don’t gain it back.

We are so happy to hear that the MyFitnessPal app has helped you reach your goals!

I really like this app. I use it for calorie counting. It links to Garmin Connect for integrating exercise calories into the overall balance for the day. You can scan barcodes for food items for easier logging. You can select items from your history of previous entries (great for frequently eaten foods). You can text search for foods, which accesses an enormous list of prior entries that I assume have been entered or scanned by other users. So why only four stars? My only peeve with the program is that it doesn’t seem to let users edit the serving size for many items, beyond being able to select from a too often extremely limited and sometimes arbitrary mix of imperial/metric/liquid/solid measures. The options presented vary widely from item to item, with little apparent logic. The best solution I have is to try to find items that use 1g as a serving size and then list the number of grams for that day’s serving as the number of servings for that entry. Since I’m using a food scale, that works for me. Seems a better solution would be to allow users to edit any food item to select from a full complement of serving sizes (or to just directly enter the desired serving size using the keyboard). Or just provide 1g as a choice in all cases (or at least all solid cases). In any case, I love and recommend the app, with the measurement detail being my only pet peeve.

Thank you for providing this feedback. We will definitely share this with our team and we appreciate your help as we continue to improve our program!
