Best health and fitness apps.

[Phteven]

Does anyone use an app to track things like diet and exercise?

I have map my run on my computer but it's only for running and since I like to run on the treadmill and do weights it's kind of pointless because I would like everything in one place.

Ideally I would like something that tracks calories in and calories out too because although I'm fit I also like to eat and I need to focus on my diet.

I just this minute signed up to my fitness pal. It's related to mapmyrun, free, easy to use and looks really good

MFP here and Runkeeper.

MFP is freakin awesome, you can even create your own recipes in there to get the calories. Add it up every day, track all your exercise, and track your weight and measurements. You can use it as an app or on the computer, and on the computer you can generate reports for it all.

I really like my net diary pro. Does all the things.

I also prefer Calorie Counter PRO MyNetDiary (it's the one with the green apple logo). I used MFP and didn't like it. It was too complicated to use and I didn't like the layout/design. At MyNetDiary you can even scan food items and add them (like your favourite brand of cereal) rather than having to scroll through pages and pages before you find the right item. You also can add your measurements, enter the exercise you do, create your own recipes etc. It calculates the food you've eaten minus the exercise you've done etc. There are great charts to show your progress and even an Analysis Tool that breaks down your diet habits (I.e. "you need more fibre in your breakfast to assist weight loss", "20g of sat fat provided more than 7% of calories. Keeping it lower will reduce the risk of heart disease" etc). It's AWESOME. Oh, and you can even track how much water you've had.

Might have to check that one out Raupe and Rouge - just as an aside you can scan in MFP too!

Also, food switch is great, especially when shopping. You scan the barcode of whatever foods and it shows you the healthier alternative.
