Calorie Counting Apps

[HealthiGirl]

Hi everyone, I am excited to be here... I just recently joined! I'm curious, do any of you use calorie counting apps? I downloaded one about a month ago and it has been really valuable. Not only because it helps me track what I am eating each day, but it is is also quite revealing just how many calories are in various foods. I'm amazed how quickly I am losing weight by remaining really compliant with my daily intake. I'm just not sure how long I will be able to keep this up. It is a lot of work! Thoughts?

I sometimes use Chronometer, as I find it a bit easier to use than the others. It breaks down the micronutrients as well as the macronutrients. It also lets you enter a full recipe and take portions of the recipe, which saves time. As an example, we often have a mix of peppers,mushrooms and onions as a side, so I have that as a recipe I can call upon quickly (rather than looking up 1/4 of an onion, 1/2 of a pepper and 2 mushrooms each time I eat it).

They can be useful I've been filling in for the last few weeks to check my protein and carb intake.

I'm glad you've been finding your app useful for weight loss

Entering info as a meal rather than individual ingredients is a good idea. Especially if a regular meal. Thanks.
