Myfitnesspal

No matter what diet you want to lose - the right thing to do is to get the right documentation and motivation. Myfitnesspal from the sports brand Under Armor is distinguished by a truly comprehensive database, which includes not only around one million meals and three million foodstuffs, but also some 350 fitness exercises.

The app also offers a barcode scanner for ready-made versions. The app captures not only the calories of a food, but also contains fats, protein, fiber, sugar, carbohydrates and more. Setting goals and extensive evaluations and graphs should provide motivation.

The calorie counter from Fatsecret also offers a very extensive food database, which can be supplemented by the user with his own entries and recipes - so you really have all the nutrients at a glance.

Like its predecessors, FDDB is also one of the most used tracking apps. FDDB syncs your diary, favorites, your diet report, and more. Unfortunately, many useful features are available only through the online portal. However, the app provides an extensive food database. The focus is on statistics and details of your diet.

Lifesum

Lifesum was called ShapeUp Club, and under its new name the app controls the calorie consumption in about 20 sports. The focus, however, is on the Kalorientagebuch, where users can capture the food they have taken. A database of nutritional information on about 400,000 foods makes this task immensely easier. Once you have entered your weight, the desired weight, the desired decrease per week, your age and your gender, the app calculates how many calories the user can consume per day. Calories consumed during the training are of course deducted accordingly.

Fooducate

Fooducate is suitable for those who want to eat healthier. The app not only informs about healthy food alternatives, but also proposes appropriate food to the user. Thus, the applications stand out from comparable offers, because it is not just about calorie counting and losing weight.

For this to work, the user must record all meals and training units taken with Noom. Ramifications elements should provide additional motivation.

Through the five different trainers and varied music, a motivation is guaranteed. A premium account with more features is also available.

Strava
