![]() Considering that this app is free and you are not looking for rigorous calorie counting, just rough estimates to reshape/understand your eating habits, then it serves its purpose. At some point a person is bound to get frustrated and bored by this cumbersome method of food tracking. To lose 1 pound, or 0.5kg per week, you will need to cut. You can destruct your home cooked dishes by listing comparable ingredients individually, but that just creates a lot of unnecessary time and effort. The calories needed to maintain your weight equal to the BMR value, multiplied by an activity factor. This app also doesn’t cater to more exotic cuisines, such as Ukrainian borscht or Pad King (a Thai ginger dish). Examples include steamed broccoli (only an Applebee’s side dish matched this entry) or baked Korean batata (a type of sweet potato). There seems to be an encyclopedia of information related to popular take out chains and favorite supermarket brands, but very little information for fresh, home prepared produce. Those who wish to maintain their body weight need to consider how increased or decreased activity affects their daily. Hence by calculating your TDEE aka Maintenance Calories, you will be able to identify the calories required to maintain your current weight, and to increase. Where it falls short is that it’s not really conducive to home cooking. If you are looking for a general overview to gauge your overall eating habits, then this app is fine for that. It tracks your weight and calculates a recommended daily calorie intake. ![]() ![]() I wasn’t particularly worried about losing weight when I started I just wanted to get a better understanding of what I was putting into my mouth. MyFitnessPal is one of the most popular calorie counters right now. I’ve been using this app for about two weeks. But I think this app can do better and still be free. I was a Weight Watchers member for years and used their app, which does not have these problems. And if I add stretch, stretching or anything similar, nothing comes up. Or maybe there is, but there seems to be no list where I can choose stretching. I do a long stretch routine daily, but there is no option on the app for stretches. The other problem is in the exercise section. That’s exactly the opposite of why I am on this app. I am spending way too much time doing this – so frustrating that it makes me want to overeat. Some common things, for instance from Trader Joe’s, are not in the database. And on that subject, your database of ingredients is woeful. Lose fat (cut) Build lean muscle (lean bulk) Maintain the same weight. When I’ve been creating a recipe and want to enter an ingredient that isn’t in your database, I try to create that ingredient, but then I lose the recipe and all I’ve entered into it. This macro calculator will help you to determine what your caloric goals. So I have to start from scratch and enter all the ingredients again. When I’ve entered a recipe and, a few days later, want to tweak one or two ingredients, I can’t see the ingredients or make changes. (1700 + 0.75×500 + 150) Make this calorie increase from anywhere between ½- carbs, with the rest from fats. I am still using this app, despite that it is maddening when it comes to recipes.
