(44)
"I love cronometer. minimalistic and has just what I need."

Lose It
4.2
(18)
"My go-to app is Lose it."
"I like it so much that I bought lifetime."
"Lose It! is probably my favorite. Despite the name and it’s primary purpose, it does have a really solid nutrient tracking aspect and it’s v user friendly!!!"
"LoseIt by far over MyFitnessPal. The premium version of Loseit is absolutely worth it."
"Honestly, I originally switched because my work had a thing with them where I got free Premium, but honestly it’s been four years and I can’t see a single reason to go back."
"Lose It or Healthi - I have used both free and paid plans on these."
"Lose it."
"I was using LoseIt which is free and easy to use. It's pretty good and has a large database, plus you can track saturated fat and fiber."
"I've used myfitnesspal and loseit. I liked myfitnesspal, lost weight steady and quickly but I found it a bit stressful because I felt horrible going over."
"Lose It also has a much better UI imo, especially if you spring for the premium."

"Does the job!"

"FatSecret from the start, they have an option to count net carbs, and their food database is pretty comprehensive."
"I have to give my endorsement to Fat Secret."
"I actually prefer Fatsecret to MFP, I find it has a great database of foods and I prefer the UI."
"Recently I've tried "Fat Secret" - and I've got to admit, the UI and stats give MFP a VERY good run for it's money."
#6
Lifesum
4.3
(6)
"My favorite is LifeSum. You can change the diet plan so it’s very customizable."
"I absolutely love it. PROS: Interface is intuitive, WAY better looking than MFP but with similar functionality (search database, custom recipes, recently eaten foods, barcode scanning, calories in vs calories out, sync to other apps such as Fitbit, Google Fit, etc)."
"I like Lifesum. It's pretty basic and easy to navigate."
"I liked LifeSum quite a bit. I didn't do the premium version but the standard one offered everything I needed."
"I use Lifesum"
"IMHO the best tracker for you is the one you will use."
