I have just been introduced a very cool Smartphone app called myfitnesspal. Myfitnesspal gives you everything that other weight management programs give you…but for free! Based in your profile and weight loss goals, myfitnesspal will calculate how many calories you can consume in a day to reach your target weight. But that’s not all…myfitnesspal has a built in barcode reader that reads barcodes right from product packages. From the scanned barcode, you can choose the serving size, and enter it into your daily diary. The information will then be stored and can be easily accessed for future diary entries. The app also allows you to search for foods that you’ve consumed without labels (example: sushi, fresh fruits), and track your exercise and water consumtion. At the end of the day, myfitnesspal will give you a daily, weekly and progress summary, and allow you to choose several custom reports.
This app is easy, free and fun to use. You can even participate with friends and share your success through a variety of social platforms.
