![]() ![]() I also added my usual Tuesday salad as a recipe. I added my daily coffee as a recipe, calling it “Sue’s Coffee” (cold-brewed coffee, raw honey, and organic half and half). After a week of tracking it only took me a couple of minutes (or less) to enter a meal or snack. The app remembers what foods you eat most frequently. All I had to do was weigh it which they do anyway at the checkout. I was also happy to see Whole Foods Market’s hot food bar items in the database (artichoke and cheese frittata). In fact, during the past 6 months of tracking, I only had to scan a food item once. It included just about everything I eat and the brands I typically select. The database includes many foods by default in addition to those added by users. However, I discovered it was incredibly quick and easy, mainly because of the extensive food database.

I also wanted to have the ability to scan foods in case they were not in the database. The app offered this and I had body fat to lose, which had become more difficult after menopause.

I also consider myself a “non-smartphone” person, using my phone only for a few calls and text messages. However, I’ve completely changed my mind since I tried it and loved it. I also felt that food logging could become obsessive for some people. It seems so unnatural and time-consuming. I never thought I’d be writing a MyFitnessPal app review because I have never been a fan of daily food tracking. ![]()
