What fitness/calorie app do you use (if any)?

I used to use LoseIt! but did not want to pay to upgrade to the full version without knowing how much help it would be. I’m just looking to upkeep my fitness and lose some weight in the process. It helps me to track everything and having everything on my phone makes it even easier. Also, the LoseIt! app does not take the iWatch Fitness Ring app data, so all of my workouts aren’t added in. Ideally, I’d love to have one place that can interact with my watch and phone data, where I can input my intake on a predicted schedule. If that makes any sense.

Does anybody here use anything like that? If so, what are your suggestions and thoughts? (PS, as I am new to lemmy, please let me know if this should be posted elsewhere).

I would checkout Cronometer. You can do a bit more for free like entering in your own macros which I think is paywalled on MFP.

Not sure about your devices but it's synced with my scale and watch, so it captures my workouts and everytime I weigh myself.

I ended up paying for Gold and I can have up to 8 different group/meals and set macro schedules depending on the days of the week.

They do manage their one food database, so if you scan something that's not there, you're going to have to add it yourself and it may take awhile to be officially added.

Oh last cool thing that I didn't know. Not all foods/macros are the same calorie wise. Some food for example may be closer to 3.5 cal or 4.2 per gram of protein for example so the calorie count may not exactly add up sometimes.

Thanks for the suggestion! Chronometer looks very similar to LoseIt but with a few extra thorns. I’ll give it a go! Thanks!
