Great app. Only one inconvenience
I’ve been using this app for a long time and it’s very useful to help track nutrition along with health conditions. Only downside is the scanner doesn’t work anymore… I would have to manually type everything
Tracks micronutrients
I compared a lot of apps when I originally downloaded this years ago, and this one did the best job of tracking micronutrients (vitamins and minerals, plus a few other things like choline, caffeine, lycopene, etc). It is also free which I love.
I love that it has so many foods in its database that have all the micronutrients. Plus there is the ability to manually enter foods or recipes or to use manually entered foods that other people have entered.
It doesn’t seem to be being updated that often. It has consistently worked very well though, and it’s kind of nice that it’s it being changed all the time. There is now a bug where it won’t let me create or edit recipes. Also I wish it showed more micronutrients in the daily summary, like Iodine. The specific foods have the info about iodine but it doesn’t show up in the totals for the whole day so you can’t see an overall picture.

Macro and micro nutrients
I use this app to track nutrients. I do strength training and use the macro nutrient tracker to make sure that I’m getting enough protein. The micronutrient tracker helps me to identify micronutrients that I’m falling short on and it also recommends foods that are high in them. Potassium is a good example of a micronutrient that most Americans don’t get enough of and I learned that potatoes are the best source, not bananas.

No more exercise integration
Just updated to the latest version. Disappointed that they no longer allow integration with Fitbit. Will have to go back to manually entering exercise.
Really good but can be great
This app is very cool. Especially when you want to keep track of specific things… like how much vitamin d you’re consuming, or how much fiber or calcium, etc. I’ve absolutely loved it. I feel like it’s not about loosing weight, it’s about being healthy. I recommend it to everyone but I do have one complaint which drives me nuts and makes it less reliable… Their catalog of foods isn’t as large and the nutrition facts aren’t as accurate as the Lose it! app, and the barcode scanning tool rarely allows me to find what I’m searching for. So I always have to do the searches manually and, while I know these apps are not perfectly accurate, this one feels more like it’s giving me a much more of a vague idea of what I’m consuming.
