Tracking has come a long wayīack in the day, we used a paper food diary. Technically speaking, you could even track how you eat it, since eating in a rush vs. When tracking for optimal health you’ll wnt to be aware of and take responsibility for what you eat, and when you eat it. That’s where we find some differences in these two apps. However, it’s important to note that there is more to tracking than calorie counting. Each give you access to your daily calories, and the ability to track macronutrient and micronutrient goals. Hope this helps someone! I still haven't figured out which one is perfect for me - but I may end up sticking with MFP simply because of prior history.Wondering which is better, myfitnesspal vs cronometer? Both act as a roadmap on your journey to better health. You're still no further than a couple of taps away from adding food/exercise/weight information on either app.Īds are less intrusive on LoseIt! if that's a determining factor for you.

LoseIt! takes you straight to the food diary when you log on (both app and website), whereas MFP focuses on a news feed type of set up. In MFP, I feel like you have more fine tune control, which is helpful for people who use food scales (like me). This is OK, because I'd rather overestimate calories. In LoseIt!, calorie counts seem to be a bit higher for generic / non-scanned items. There are two differences in the databases that I noticed though: The scanning feature works the same in both apps. That was for a President's Choice sparkling watermelon drink, which was 0 calories anyway. The food database is largely the same - the only time I couldn't find something in LoseIt!'s database, I also couldn't find it in MFP. If you were expecting some life shattering revelation I'm sorry that I can't deliver. Honestly, there isn't much of a difference between the apps. This came up in a recent post (and can't for the life of me remember which one!) where I felt compelled to give LoseIt! a fresh attempt. I have a post for this coming up on my blog (PM for the link if you want to read the whole thing) but I've been using both apps side by side for the last 4 days.
