My fitness pal

I found a wonderful FREE app that I thought I'd pass on,
"My fitness pal". 

I've used fitday for years, so re-doing all my custom foods has been a bit time consuming, but  what I love is that this has a bar code reader.  I've yet to find anything it doesn't know about :).   My hubby and I have recently gone gluten free, so I've tested the crap out of the reader :).

One of the things I don't like is the exercise monitor, it understands treadmills, ellipticals....but when I lift weights I can't just put in 'time, lifting', it wants to know, what I did, how many reps, how much weight.....per exercise!  WAY to much, maybe one day I'll be bored enough to load everything LOL.

Anyways, I thought I'd pass on something that has made my life easier.

I love my fitness pal app.  It is all that I use.  Awesome way to keep up daily and the scanner is fantastic too!

In that case you'll love this, it monitors everything.  In fact when you scan a label, all the nutritional info on the side of the box/can/package... is listed.

I've heard alot about My Fitness Pal.  I use an app very similar called Fat Secret. It is also synced with my computer and it's been a fantastic help.   Regardless of the type of tools, using them is what really counts!

I went over there and signed up today after reading your post. I have to say, I love the bar-code reader feature. Thanks for sharing this site.

Glad you like it!  I loved it and just wanted to make everyone's life easier if I could.  "It takes a village"
