Hey guys – I’ve started researching apps for tracking my nutrition, and of course, there’s tons of them. I think it makes more sense to ask TR users what they use, seeing as there’s overlap in the needs we have as users. So…what’s your go-to for this?

Not currently tracking but am now off the bike with an injury so i might start again soon. I used My Fitness Pal when you could scan barcodes in the free version and then switched to Lose It and am still using the free version. I think cronometer is great if you’re vegan/wfpb and want a lot of det…

After using MFP for many years, I recently found Lose It to be much easier to use on a day to day basis as far as data entry and scanning labels. I do have a major complaint though. I’ve never figured out how it uses the integration with Garmin to “add calories to the day” because you did a big rid…

I have Garmin as well and I don’t have that issue. It pulls calories from Garmin after I sync my 530 to my Garmin Connect App, then I open my Lose It app while GC is open. You might check if you have a setting in Loseit that chooses to ignore activity calories.

It logs the activity, it just chooses not to give me the extra calories until some magical moment when it decides I do (or do not) deserve to get them. Often at the end of the day, which is far too late to impact my caloric decisions that day.

I’ve been using MyFitnessPal for about 10 years (free version). Seamless and accurate integration with Garmin (IME).

Weird, so it will add the activity but not the calories until maybe later? That’s odd - I’d try and fiddle with the app from your computer- I find it’s much easier to configure. I redid my goal recently and there were a few settings that I adjusted and it pulls data very accurately.

Lose It doesn’t work that way for me. However I sync workouts to Apple Health using RunGap. Then Lose It pulls it in via Health.

I’m on iOS, and I use Cronometer.
