Best app for calorie/exercise
 
Does anyone know of an easy app for a blackberry that tracks calories and exercise?

Oh, I hope someone answers, because I want to know this too!!!! I need something until July when I get an iPhone!

I have tried lots of aps. Honestly they are all really buggy and less than ideal but the livestrong ap is the best. It has the largest food database and works at least 80% of the time. I use it on iphone & the tie-in website on my pc.

I use the myfitnesspal app and LOVE it. I have it for my android but there is a blackberry app, too.

I LOVE, LOVE myfitnesspal!! You can access it online and as an app on your phone.

I love that it has almost any item in the search, including if you eat out! I started charting my calories because I wasn't eating enough :( Swear by it!

Same. I use myfitnesspal as well.

I just got the ap & it's giving me 200 more calories a day than the livestrong ap. O_o

I'm going to echo everyone's thoughts on here and say how much I love Myfitnesspal. It's taught me to be a food diary-keeper, and I never would have done that before. Now I always factor it in my thoughts when deciding if I should eat something or not, since I know I'll have to make record of it. I love how it keeps me on track!

Another vote for My Fitness Pal.

I'm just starting with the Livestrong blackberry app. I had trouble downloading the app, I had to call my wireless carrier's customer support but it works now. Livestrong's calorie counting app costs $3 I think or right around there. On your blackberry, make sure your WiFi is off when you download the app, since my WiFi was on, that's why it didn't originally download. I find that Livestrong isn't 100% accurate with the nutritional info they have stored in their database, but they are pretty close.

I just have a question for all of you that voted for my fitness pal:

I've been using this app for the past week and so far it does seem awesome, but... a lot of the calorie ranges for the foods seem very large. For instance, a cup of a certain kind of soup could be listed as "homemade" and 200 calories, and then just below it there is another homemade entry that might list 400 calories per cup.

I do not control the cooking or the meals in my house, and therefore I don't know exactly what ingredients were used for most homemade meals. I have been using the higher numbers just in case, figuring that I would rather over-estimate than under-estimate.

My question is, therefore, how accurate do you find most of the calorie counts to be for this app? And also, while I am at it, how do you deal with the large range?
