My Fitness Pal App

Does any body use this app I’m using the free version at the moment I only downloaded it yesterday and seems quite good.

What do you all think of it?

Hi, if you look in Topics, you'll find one headed Apps and Trackers, where you can read people's comments. This will help you find Topics, if you're not sure healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Ooh thank you

I've used it for 3 years. Very useful, but didn't stop me clocking up 3000 calories on occasion.

Still use it, but don't take any notice of its recommendations as I now follow low density carb way of life

I've used it for 5 years, the first 10 months to reach my goal weight and the past 4 years as a maintainer.

It definitely gave me the self discipline to lose 2.5 stone and keep it off . I use the food diary and log my weight every week, I find my reports/graphs and history interesting , especially if I have the occasional blip I can look back and see what worked before. Some of the articles and recipes are good too.

Thank you both for replying x

How many calories do you have a day please? x

MFP often sets the calories quite low as you can ‘earn’ them back by exercising, but this is not a very accurate method, we always advise you to use the NHS BMI checker which will suggest a target range 😊

Yes I found that! MFP said 1200, and NHS says 1400, so I try to aim between 🙂

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to Veganlass]

The NHS BMI checker should give you a range, and it’s best to start towards the top, then it’s easier to reduce calories as your weight comes down 😊

[Veganlass in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Thanks I will bear that in mind 🙂

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to Veganlass]

You’re welcome 😊

Hi , I have just started my journey and have started using the myfitnesspal app. I find it really useful and gives me a reality check on my calorie intake. I also like it because it is free🙂
