What fitness/calorie app do you use (if any)?

I used to use LoseIt! but did not want to pay to upgrade to the full version without knowing how much help it would be. I’m just looking to upkeep my fitness and lose some weight in the process. It helps me to track everything and having everything on my phone makes it even easier. Also, the LoseIt! app does not take the iWatch Fitness Ring app data, so all of my workouts aren’t added in. Ideally, I’d love to have one place that can interact with my watch and phone data, where I can input my intake on a predicted schedule. If that makes any sense.

Does anybody here use anything like that? If so, what are your suggestions and thoughts? (PS, as I am new to lemmy, please let me know if this should be posted elsewhere).

I use FitNotes (Android only). I really like because of how simple it is. Keeps track of your rep maxes, volume, estimated 1RM, etc.

I think you typo'd FitNotes which, indeed, is a great app.

Yup! Thanks for the correction!

FitNotes is great, I will never need anything else for lifting. Totally customisable, paid a one-off charge to use it and was very happy to do so.

I use MyFitnessPal to track calories and macros, it could be better but it works (for now). I don't think I could justify paying a subscription for the service, so we'll see - seems like the company might be going in a weird direction.

Runkeeper for tracking runs, GPS seems good. I actually pay an annual subscription for that which I don't really do with apps. I also have some kind of pace calculator (Pace+) which has come in handy.

I've been using MacroFactor since January and it's been the best app for me since my main struggle is simply choosing what my calorie intake should be. It doesn't track workouts (by design) but if you consistently log your weight and food, its algorithm tells you how much you should be eating based on your weight loss goal rate, and constantly adjusts as it gets more data.

I use Jefit to track my gym workouts. The app is pretty good, and free. The website is a little clunky but it does have all the features of the app. For macro tracking I use Cronometer, I cook a lot of my own mealprep meals and it's easy to add a custom recipe and just set how many servings it makes and let it figure out the nutrition data.
