Looking for app to track diet

Posted by crickard70 @crickard70, Jul 7, 2023

Recently some kind member suggested an app to track daily food intake and an additional app that was $80 to help chart your fat, carbs etc. I actually wrote down and cannot find and haven’t been able to find again in chats. Sorry, please resend if you get this and Thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

According to my wife, "My Fitness Pal" is a great app, but got too expensive when they started charging for features that were previously included for free.

She's now using an app called "Lose It" and says it's very robust, and the non-free features she subscribes to are cheaper than what My Fitness Pal was charging.

Hope this helps. You'll probably find a lot more answers to this question by posting in the Bariatric Surgery section of the Mayo forums.

I use it for basically calorie counting but I think the more advanced features you need to have the premium app.

That is so disappointing about myfitnesspal. I used to love that. I did not know they started charging. I also used to use one called Fitday that was pretty good and it was free, but I don't know any more

I used to use MyFitnessPal as well, but got tired of the glitches and charges. I switched to MyNetDiary.com and am very pleased with it... it's free, too.

I have pancreatic cancer and had a whipple similar to gastric bypass. If anyone is aware of an app, I need to track fat, protein, sugar, maybe similar to weight watchers, also restaurants suggested. My issues are enzymes and not digesting protein but have to have little fat to stop pancreatic attack. Thank you

I'm trying to learn Baritastic now. It seems to be pretty thorough in the macro tracking side, can set "goals" for individual areas like protein, sugar, fat, calories and a few more.

I believe Baritastic is popular. I thought it was difficult. I use MyFitnessPal. It does all I need it to. I dont like to use my phone for tracking etc.
