I like being able to change up the theme for different parts of the year. I also like the pattern detection and ability to pre-log my meals. There's lots od data to look at top which I find super interesting in tracking how my food affects me in everyday life.

IMO Cronometer is the best choice for the web application alone. It's nice to be able to log foods from both your mobile device and your computer.

barcode scanner, I still use MFP because I prefer the layout and eat the same things in the week so i don’t have to search up foods often ... Just switch your country (assuming you’re in the US) to Canada and you won’t have to pay! ... I’ve tried pretty much all of them and Cronometer is the best!
r/apps
I have been using snap calorie for about 6 months now and I have been overall disappointed with the AI functionality. It dramatically overestimates calories from photos even with description provided (checked by manually calculating calories ...
r/CICO
The main thing I like is that you don't have to log everything manually. you can just describe your meal or take a quick picture of the food or label , and it figures out the calorie for you, it's made tracking feel way less annoying, which ...

I've built the app primarily for myself since I felt like most known apps like the pal one are hard to use mostly because they offer too many features I don't need. The app is Calorimeter if you want to try it. ... Hey I created one for myself, that accounts for all the calories, macros an...
r/loseit
... If counting calories is your goal the most accurate way is by weighing food and writing it down, or inputting the values into MyFitnessPal. 1000 calories sounds. Google TDEE calculator ...

Macrofactor was easily the most painless way to manage calorie input for me. The scanner is above and beyond others that I’ve tried. And it has a AI guesser which guesses calories/nutrition of things you forgot to mention like “2 apples and a banana” · Most importantly it has an algorithm which cons...
r/nutrition
Less clicks to do what you need to do and simplified food searching. ... MyFitnessPal and cronometer are both pretty good. MyFitnessPal is a little more user-friendly though in my opinion ...
r/loseit
I've used plenty of apps. Chronometer for the longest time, for me, it works the best. It can scan for barcodes. That doesn't help a lot, when talking about meals, or something that isn't yet, already, a known value. When I'm on the go, there isn't always a scale available n...
r/1200isplenty
i primarily use it because of the barcode scanner feature and it has cute icons for its food entries lol. it’s easy to input custom recipes and foods as well. its database for local food for my country (philippines) is not as exhaustive than myfitnesspal’s, but anything i don’t find in loseit’s data...
r/AppleFitnessPlus
Lose It is a good alternative if you don't track macros. ... I got so tired of the calorie tracking apps gating their features that I made my own free one, called Clean Slate. It can do everything you would expect a calorie tracking app to do, including logging food, creating custom foods and ....
