Click here for a list of our current Premium features.One of my favorite food and nutrition apps, MyFitnessPal, is taking on one of the biggest battles of the bulge: calorie counts from restaurant meals.īut it wants to do more than just tell you how badly you blew your diet after you down that giant burger and plate of fries.

For the advanced user, we recommend taking the extra step and going Premium. That's it! Just a few minutes a day can show you so much about what you're eating and how that impacts your health. Checking in your weight allows us to track your progress over time and also adjust your calorie goals to reflect your new weight.

Periodically (we recommend once a week), you should weigh yourself and check-in your new weight with the site or the app using our Check-In feature (or 'Progress' page in the app).

In just a few days, logging can be as fast as 30 seconds - it's literally that easy. MyFitnessPal remembers the foods and exercises you like most and makes it easy for you to add those items to your diary.

The best part of our system is that logging gets easier the more you do it.

If you stick within your calorie limits, you should achieve the weight loss (or gain) you're looking for.

MyFitnessPal will calculate the number of calories you've consumed from food and burned from exercise and let you know how many calories you have left to eat for the day. As you eat and exercise throughout the day, you need to log your meals and exercise in our Food and Exercise diaries.

Based on your fitness profile, we'll recommend a daily Net Calorie target for you to achieve your weight loss (or gain) goals.
