Leave a Review Nutritionix Track
Best app ever
In 2005 I found out I had celiac disease. Fun trying to find GF food back then. On top of that I just found out my blood sugar is high so pre diabetic. I had absolutely no idea how to track my food nutritional and sugar intake until I found this app. I have lost 5 pounds in one week and feel great. More energy! Better yet, it’s so easy to use ( and I am tech challenged for sure.) Other apps make it impossible to input correct meal info. Since I am Italian, love to cook, but due to my GF diet most recipes are my own not store bought, it was impossible to calculate my nutritional input with other apps. With this app I can input my own recipes and save them ,download ingredients with bar codes, and most of the ingredients I input are recognized by the App anyway. You can check the nutritional contents for an ingredient, a meal or the whole day. Plus you have exercise you can add and your daily weight. It tells you everything you need to know in order to be healthy and fit. Definitely a life saver for me, literally!! It won’t disappoint!!! Health mattersShow lessDebbie by the bay
As close to perfect as likely exists!
I LOVE this app! The barcode scanner makes it easy for quick entries. I love that I can type in a recipe and it will calculate the calories for me. Everything about this app makes dieting easier. My only suggestions would be the following:
1. If there was a way to separate out added sugar in the daily stats, that would be helpful.
2. Same with fats - if there was a breakdown of the different types of fats in the daily stats, it would be nice. It does separate out saturated fats, so I could do the math for the others in general, but there is no way to know which are monounsaturated.
3. If, in the stats, you could click on the different items, like cholesterol, and see a list of which foods contained it and how much, it would be easier than having to go through the daily log to figure it out.
4. When entering exercise, it would be great if there was the option enter extra info to get a more accurate calorie estimate, like boxes for pace, duration, miles, etc. I can tell you that I don’t walk at the same pace every day but it doesn’t seem like my speed or distance is taken into consideration when I enter it into the single box and it calculates my calories used.
None of these things make the app any less useful though. It is helping me stay motivated. It has a million excellent features. It makes tracking daily intake very easy!Show lessSoReallyAnnoyedByItAll
Enjoying it so far! Just one concern
This is exactly what I needed. The restaurant food database in particular is super helpful. That has always been an issue with my calorie/nutrition tracking in the past, and now I can log specific restaurant foods - because in my experience, those are the meals that are most likely to put me over my calorie goal, and they're the ones I have to be most mindful of!
My only issue is that I can't get the app to stay connected with my Apple Health app. I want it to pull my exercise data from Apple Health so it can account for burned calories and adjust my calorie goal for the day. I keep setting it (and the weight data from Apple Health) to "pull," and it does work, but it always reverts back to "off." Every time I open the app I have to go set it back to "pull" to get my latest burned calories to show up. Not the end of the world but it's kinda inconvenient. It would be great if there was a save button so you know it's keeping the settings you change.Show lessohheyitsmyusername
