Calorie counting apps..

[potsy]

I have belatedly decided to try and get a few pounds (stone) off and am looking for a decent app to help me out.

I've used myfitnesspal in the past with good success, is there anything better?

Thanks.

Hey Potsy.
If myfitnesspal worked for you then why not carry on using it?

You did splendidly well about 10 years ago using your bike as your app(liance!)...






Let's look forward to a post-Covid 2021 (?), in which situation I would start organising forum rides again. I'll make sure to include some 50 km - 50 mile routes as well as the usual 100 km - 100 mile ones so feel free to come on over for them?

(You did keep at least one bike didn't you? If not, put the mistake right and buy a new one! )

My arm chair app?

I have installed the app on my phone, and even remembered my old log-in.

Had to adjust the weight figure and goals a little from my previous go

Yes I kept a bike or three back just in case, though I'm not sure a single speed or mtb would be much use on your rides

Give Keto a go ?

I'm sure that I could come up with something suitable!

I've started using the Samsung Health App that comes with my phone and it seems to work. It has presets for popular foods -Kellogs Special K etc but also allows you to input your own figures. I'm trying to get from 17st down to 15st so it's set me a target of 2086 calories a day, easily achievable. 3 weeks in and I've lost 9lbs.

Forgot about this, 6 months on and I'm still using Myfitnesspal.

Maybe not as strictly the last month or so but it has definitely helped again.

Significant weight loss, and have now hit a figure that I never thought was possible, weight now low enough to start cycling again

Long way to go but happy I started the journey!
