Default iPhone Calorie Counters

Could anyone recommend me a Calorie Counter app for the iPhone? I'm out a lot at university, so I don't want to be jotting down the calories all the time, but an iPhone app would be ace!

Thanks!

I've used the sparkpeople and livestrong, and dont rate either of them that highly. Although I like Sparkpeople a bit more.

I use the Spark People one, and it's not bad. It has a lot of food already listed on there, and it's easy to add more, they get saved under "your favorites" so if you eat a certain thing a lot it's easy to add it. It has a fitness section also, and a daily weight tracker thingy. It gives you an automatic meal plan (I don't follow it, but it has interesting ideas) and links you to some articles on their website. It's not bad for being free.

Thanks for the Sparkpeople recommendation, Starbuck. I'm just trying to persuade it not to give me one of their meal plans, but it looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

Yeah, It gives me the meal plan food, but I just ignore those and add what I need and it's fine

The "Lose It" app is easy to use.

I use tap and track. It wasn't free but it allows me to enter just a caloric value, will track my fat grams, sodium , and carbs if I want. It also has a weight tracker with graphs. It also allows for tracking exercise.

I have Lose It on my iphone, but I only use it when I don't have access to a desktop computer. I have so many custom foods in fitday that I prefer to use that.

Lose It is great when traveling where I don't have access to fitday. Plus, it's free.

I've also been using LoseIt for the past year and it's been the key to my success.

You can format the sparkpeople recommendations so they don't show.

Go the the more section
Then settings
Tap meal plans
Change the setting to "no" for show meal plans.
