Hey guys.
So I'm back on board with my CC from today, yay! I've been travelling for 6 months so have had very little control over my calorie intake, so it's so nice to get back on the wagon.
I've recently taken the plunge and bought myself an android (not tech savvy at all me) and am loving it. I've just downloaded the C25K but got confused with the CC apps. not sure which one is best.
Can anyone recommend me a good one?

Thankyees

I don't know if it's the "best" one, but I've been using an app called Calorie Counter. Its database of foods is big, and I like the fact that I can also input my exercise. It also has a "saved meal" option (for recipes), a "recently eaten" option (that saves a lot of time from looking up foods over and over again), and a barcode scanner that is kind of cool.

i like My Fitness Pal but havent tried the others - it works great w/ my blackberry~

I need this info as well. Thanks for asking the question.

I think the loseit! app is available on android now. I have it on my iphone and it's pretty good

Update: I had to reset my smartphone, so I lost all my apps, including the Calorie Count app. I've heard so much about MyFitnessPal, that I decided I would try that one instead. So, I got it. Here's my evaluation of the two:

1) MFP has a much larger database of foods. Everything I entered I could find. Sometimes in the CC app, I could not find the specific foods I wanted to enter, so I would just enter something comparable. Since I don't track macros, this was really no biggie to me, but the nerdy side of me liked it.

2) MFP is much faster than CC. This, to me, is the biggest advantage. Oftentimes, there is an annoying lag opening my daily menu in CC and entering foods. Sometimes, it times out and I have to try again---2 or 3 times. I had no such problem with MFP. It opened quickly and I could enter foods quickly.

However, . . .

3) I like the format of CC better than MFP. Maybe I'm just used to it. However, it seems as if the main page on MFP is just too busy and confusing. In CC, I see a graph with the percentage of my calories on the left, and on the right is my actual calorie count with my exercise calories indicated underneath. It's really easy to see and understand.

4) I like that in CC I can easily enter "recently eaten" foods no matter what meal I'm eating. So, if I ate a certain type of bread with dinner and plan to have that same bread for breakfast the next day, in CC I just go back to dinner, "add" a "recently eaten" food, and then choose "Breakfast" as an option rather than dinner. I could not figure out how to do this in MFP. I could choose a "recently eaten" food, but only for the specific meal in which I ate it. I could not apply it to another meal (at least I couldn't figure out how to do so).

Ultimately, I deleted MFP and went back to CC. It was close, though, and if I can figure out some of the problem issues with MFP I mentioned above, I'll go back to it mainly because of the speed.

Thanks Lin, that was a very infomative summery. I'm thinking I would try out a few myself as it seems that it's a question of personal preference. I recently switched from fitday to foodfocus for my online food diary and found it alot better. So might do the same with the apps.

this isnt for your phone but the website caloriecount.com is amazing... it keeps track of all the food you eat including ur calorie intake sodium intake potassium cholesterol everything you could imagine you keep track of your daily activity as well as water intake for the day keeps track of your weight..... all you do is fill out a small form based on ur weight and how much you exercise etc and it does the rest for you... its absolutely amazing.... i like it because if i had too much salt in my breaky and lunch i know how much i can have for dinner without going over or calories etc.... the data base pretty much has everything you could possibly eat in it and if doesnt you can add just by reading your label.... if your going to be on this forum anyways i suggest keeping a window open on ur computer and doing the calorie count website as well. ) Good Luck
