I used to have a list of sites that I go to but lost it in the migration. I visit examine regularly for nutrition. Exrx has tons of information but after a while, it gets overwhelming for me when navigating the site. I used to love simple science fitness but not anymore cause the content doesn’t feel simple anymore. I love Perseus for my daily workout journal. I’m interested to know what app anyone is using or their go to sites.
edit: wow you guys are awesome! I’m blown away by the diversity. 90% of the stuff you are using is my first time hearing it. I’m also interested with the open source health data aggregator! Never thought of that!
The MyFitnessPal was useful for tracking calories when I did that in the past. If I remember right it had a lot of stuff already entered so you could just search and select rather than manual data entry all the time. Also useful for tracking and planning macros.
Now days I'm mostly just concerned about getting enough protein and don't really worry about much else.
If you know the exact name of something, you can use the MFP search, and it usually comes back with a handful of matching items. It used to be that you could use your camera to scan the barcode on the packaging, and it would populate all the info. They unfortunately made that a "premium" feature, which I get, but is really annoying.
I'm a boredom eater, so I HAVE to track, or I'll find a way to eat like 3k calories a day. Not because I'm actually in need of the calories, mind you.
