I use Tap n' Track for iPhone/iPod Touch. It's the only thing I use for calorie tracking. It works offline, has a really large library of food (regular food, branded supermarket food and some common restaurant chains). Most of the foods also have a variety of measurements for counting cups, tbsp, tsp, grammes, oz... so you're not tied to just using cups or a weighing scale for a specific measurement. It's also nifty in that it calculates how much you should be eating at your current weight (which you can update daily) based on your activity level and weekly weight loss goal (1/2 a pound to 2lbs a week). Each time you enter in a food/meal, it tells you how many calories you've eaten that day and how many you have left. It also tracks your exercise and estimates how many calories you burned doing an activity based on your weight.
Honestly it's the coolest app I have. I use it every single day to track my food and workout calories and also it does nifty little graphs showing you your average calorie consumption and your nutrition for the day or the week (carbs, fats, proteins, sodium etc). When it doesn't have a recipe or food I want, it allows me to manually enter in recipes or nutrition information from the back of food labels.

I have tried to use a few different apps on my phone. However, I can't seem to stick with them. I feel like I always under estimate what I have eaten. How do you know exactly how much you've eaten/how to put it in correctly/ keep up the work. I know that I need to learn portion size. and I'm slowly working on it. What tips can you give me??
