Yup, those promises we make ourselves every year that are supposed to change our lives for the better. Sure, they are good (in theory) but who REALLY sticks to them? By February, we've all but forgotten them.
So...in order to kick off the New Year, I'd like to introduce you to a little app called:
This little beauty was created back in 2005 by a man names Mike Lee. Mr. Lee was getting ready for his beach wedding when a personal trainer told him that he needed to count calories. That was the catalyst for Mr.Lee creating MyFitnessPal. This app will hold users accountable for everything they eat (provided you log it). It helps users plan goals and stay on track.
So what's all the fuss about?
- The main purpose of this app is to keep track of the amount of calories you are consuming (accountability!).
- The app has an extensive nutritional database that allows users to search millions of foods that can be added to daily personal nutrition logs.
- Users can also search exercises and add them to their daily logs as well.
- You can set goals and log in weight and measurements as well. You can even share your success with other users!
This app was created out of need. The
developer needed to get in shape for his wedding and he needed an application
that stored nutritional information and helped make dieting easier. So many
people need an app like this to help with accountability when it comes to
eating right.
- In today’s society, so many people are eating on the run. Many times this equals poor food choices. This app helps users keep track of the calories they are consuming.
- Many users have claimed that this app has been the key to success with weight loss. It opens your eyes and allows you to truly see what you are consuming and how much you really should be eating.
This app will benefit any user. The
best part is that no matter where you are in the world, you can search the
database and find almost any food. If it does not exist in the database, users
can enter the nutritional information and make it available to other users.
This means that the database keeps growing!
Other users of this app can find
friends and support them through their fitness journey. Having a strong support
group is so important when it comes to making strides towards a healthier way
of life.
How do users rate it?
I'd say users LOVE it! (I know I do)
But what other apps are users downloading?
Is it user friendly?
This app has a very clean and user
friendly design. The large blue logo of a person exercising makes it easily
identifiable. The contrast between the light background and dark lettering
makes it very easy to see onscreen.
I particularly like this app because it
is so user friendly. It would be very simple for anyone to navigate, even if
they did not have a lot of technical experience.
Just look for the logo in the app store:
