Have used MyFitnessPal sparingly over the years, works ok for the most part, but don’t fancy the £65 to go ad free. Looking to monitor foods and intake over the next 3-6 months.
anyone here recommended an alternative to MyFitnessPal?
Nutracheck isnt bad and fair bit cheaper.
Thanks @dissonance
Nutracheck isnt bad and fair bit cheaper.
only other ones I’ve found are cronometer and loseit ($40 pa) neither of which I’ve any experience of.
What phone are you using? Samsung health has a nutrition database
iPhone
Fitbit app is free - the nutrition bit has got a pretty comprehensive food database which breaks stuff down between calories, macros etc. you can build custom meals from ingredients for stuff you cook regularly and scan barcodes as well
Carb Manager
thanks
Carb Manager
ia that more for low carb keto orientated diets ?
not intending to go on a keto plan
only have garmin devices, not Fitbit and my iPhone
Used nutracheck for a day and it’s not as intuitive as mfp, maybe I’ll get used to it, more uk orientated results, but less of the homemade options, which is what I tend to use from map. Hmm.
Have a look at Fat Secret.
I've not used it myself, but I work in an adjacent field and I know it was highly regarded by our public health people.
They did say to ignore the terrible name.
Fat secret ? Ok, will take a look.
No integration with garmin so fat secret is out.
I just use the free version of MFP ads aren't that intrusive. Can't say that I really notice them now tbh.
Unless you need to set macro targets the free one is good enough for me.
Edit - looks like I have used Lose It! in the past too, don't remember what it was like, might be worth a look.
Lose It!
is good.
Full integrations and better tracking than myfp
