![]() ![]() ![]() “Weight loss apps can be a great way to help adults be aware of their nutrition and lifestyle habits,” says Jaime Coffey Martinez, a registered dietitian and owner and founder of Nutrition CPR LLC, a health and wellness center. Using a weight loss app on your smartphone or laptop can help, giving you a convenient and reliable way to track your slow but steady progress. According to the CDC, people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. If you want any additional info, opinions, or screenshots of usage, let me know.A recent global study by Ipsos carried out across 30 countries found that 45% of people globally say they are currently trying to lose weight. Cronometer is more in-depth and is more suited for those dedicated to their health and fitness while MFP is more suited to the average joe who doesn't mind just tracking the main needs. I've also found Cronometer to be more precise and my cut has gone significantly faster with it as opposed to MFP, which may be due to many reasons beyond app usage.Įither way, pick the one you'll use most. Cronometer only uses professionally sourced data and while they may not have the food you want to add, you can do custom foods which bridges the gap in my opinion. You may find MFP has a much larger database but it's also crowdsourced and you should be weary of bad or invalid (for a number of reasons) data. I'm a data oriented person so the micronutrient breakdown vibes with me heavily and I find myself adding way more veggies and fruits to my diet while MFP just had me focused on achieving my macros so I find I'm eating so much healthier with Chronometer. I used MFP for about a year or so and after a week of trying Chronometer, I bought a year's subscription and haven't looked back. They both do the same job and both have pros and cons. The app you're more likely to use is the app you should use. Other than the grouping thing I definitely prefer Chronometer and used MFP for almost 2 years. Also added a recipe and custom food from a local restaurant. I could do so in MFP but it does have limited Micro-nutrient information compared to Chronometer.Īll in all I'd say it's probably the better option overall but I'd give both a try since MFP does have more obscure food estimates even if they aren't exact like for King Taco or something.Įdit: I scanned the Stater Bros stuff and it does show up. I really like I can add my supplements like my Multi-Vitamin. I couldn't find my super market brand frozen veggies I used (Stater Bros Frozen Chopped Spinach or Stater Bros Frozen Brussels Sprouts) but I'll try scanning the bag when I get home. It doesn't group my foods by meal at least as the free version. No problem, I'll give it a chance to sync and worry about it later because it should work.Ĭhronometer has a paywall on probably the only feature that may be a deal breaker for me. ![]() Right now activity and weight etc is going into Chronometer but my calories aren't showing in Fitbit. I have a Fitbit and like that I can sync data from MFP. So I've downloaded Chronometer and have some first impressions. So I'm falling in the camp of I didn't explore other options.
