Ok... so... I just received an iTouch 32gb (well... bought it. My Zunes keep dying on me no matter what I do, so my parents bought this for me, from my cousin, who would accept no less than $200). So... I've been going through various apps... and going through my stuff.

The town I live in has wifi almost everywhere, so I shouldn't have too much trouble using something that requires wifi.

I was just wondering if anyone on here has some advice on what's the best?

I am going to get the allrecipes one, a friend of the family highly recommends it... and I think it's free.

I'm willing to pay for it.. but a one-time payment only. I don't want something I have to keep paying for every month.

I am currently using the Lose It! app... and it's telling me that I should currently aim for around 1900 or less calories... which is fine...

but there aren't many various things that you can enter in... for example, I was trying to put the smarties candy in... and it didn't exist... so I used powdered sugar as for what I put it as...

So... what are y'all's favorite apps for diet stuff?

(I have the nike one... and tomorrow I'm downloading the C25K one, so I don't need any advice on exercise ones)

I'm using an iPad and I LOVE the Lose It app. There are plenty of foods that aren't on there so you just have to create a food. You put down how many calories it is per serving and then it stores it for you. I now rarely have to put something in because I already have it in my library of foods.

I hope others respond because I'm curious to see what other apps are good too!

I also saw that I had already downloaded "************", and I'm just not a fan of the setup...

I love the Lose It! app! Like Luckymommy said you do have to put a lot of foods in but it's super easy If you want to adjust the daily calorie allowance you can.

For resturants & stuff I have Dotti's (DWLZ) app! She gives calories and points.

I have more but those are my two favorites

No single apps has all the foods in the universe, you're going to have to create custom foods no matter what. I'm also a loseit user, I love it! I like the recipe feature. And looking foods up online or just adding the info from the package is really easy.

I haven't used it much, just tonight... so I'm sure there's a lot I haven't yet discovered. I must say... I do like it a lot better than the other one I have (for some reason 3FC is blocking the name: My Fitness Pal)

lose it is amaaazing.

I've been using it more often now... and I am really liking it. I am overestimating on most of my stuff (I'm kind of confused on a couple of the "each" measurement things), and still staying underneath. But... I've been drinking a TON of tea (unsweetened), and haven't been very hungry...

I love my Loseit! as well, I have been using it for about 18 months, I'd guess. I add lots of custom foods and recipes, but the longer I use it the less time it takes, because it reflects my cookbook/pantry more and more. It's simple to use and while not perfect (I hate having to make a cookie recipe and calculate a cup of sugar in teaspoons!) it is more than adequate and a heck of a lot better than a pen and paper!

I also use My Fitness Pal, and find it pretty good. I wish this website had an app:

http://nutritiondata.self.com/

I can plug in anything and find out nutritional data. I might look into Lose it.

I am a huge Lose It fan. It's the only way I can continue to track calories. It's fun, easy and so convenient! Yay Lose It!
