MyFitnessPal is on of the largest food database of any food tracking app. It also has unique features that make adding food to your log a breeze. You can use the barcode scanner or import recipes via a URL. It’s also great for managing your own recipes because it can automatically calculate the calories for you based on the ingredients.

Another unique feature of MyFitnessPal is its end of the day summary. After you complete your daily food log, it reports back to you that based on your day’s intake of food that you will be X weight by X time. This can be helpful information in gauging the feasibility of your goals. As a safety measure, the app will only let you lose a maximum of two pounds per week and will give warning messages if you are losing weight too fast or not consuming enough calories.

The Lose it! app is great for beginners because of its simple function premise: You just log your food, stay within your calorie budget, incorporate exercise if you desire and eat what you want (so long as you stay within your calorie budget).

It helps with daily calorie goal setting by mapping out your weight loss goals and your desired timeline. To help maintain a low-calorie diet the app offers low-calorie dinner recipes.

Like other apps, Lose it! has the barcode scanner feature to help log foods. The app also has a unique feature for tracking food — using recognition software, the user can take a picture of their food and the app will do the rest.

People commonly start and stop weight loss apps, but social and community support increase the likelihood that users will stick with an app.

WW hosts meetings for users to discuss their weight loss journeys and encourage each other through the process. We love that the community feature of WW can be either virtual or in-person, which is nice to have for tangible accountability.

WW also centers around a proprietary points system that assigns points for food to help users make food choices while boasting that no food is off-limits.

The Cronometer app is to micronutrients as to what the Fooducate app is to macronutrients. Like Fooducate, this app is great for the person who wants to move beyond calorie counting and into understanding the quality of what they eat, at the micronutrient level. So if you’re questioning if you are getting the vitamins and minerals you need, the Cronometer app deserves a look.

It tracks and analyzes data over time so that you can gain insight into how your biometrics and micronutrient intake relate to one another, track your fasting times and their effect. The app can also help you set weight, macro and micronutrient goals.
