MyPlate Calorie Counter for Positive User Reviews
✓ Beneficial to my weight loss and muscle gain.In July of 2018 I was 204. That kind of weight on my 5’7” frame was not good or healthy. I began exercising and was struggling to notice any loss of weight. I heard about MyPlate and began tracking my calories. Being able to monitor my Proteins, Carbs, and Fats allowed me to know exactly what I was getting from one meal to the next. By being able to see if I was meeting my daily macro nutrient goals allowed me to adjust my nutrition accordingly and the weight began to almost fall off. One week I decided to measure everything on a scale to input exactly what my caloric intake was. Not that I would recommend this for everyone or for any consistent time, but in that week I lost at least a pound a day and still felt energized due to getting exactly what was needed for my body to lose weight and still maintain action. I do recommend this app to anyone looking to lose weight and/or gain mass..Version: 5.18.0
✓ AppLike the app but there is not enough branded items as in calorie counter.Version: 5.29.1
✓ Highly recommended. Great app.I’ve been using this app to help manage my type 2 diabetes via a calorie controlled diet. The app really helps. I would love to get more out of the app by having an option to have food recommendations for diabetics rather than the limited list. Would also like it to have a database of U.K. foods but I guess that may be a user initiated thing to add to the database. Overall a very well rounded app that’s easy to use. The free version does more than you need..Version: 5.35.0
✓ Great appI love using this app as I’m a teen always worried about my body image and this app along with my Fitbit helps me realise that I’m eating what I’m meant to be eating and that my body is healthy..Version: 5.16.1
✓ Absolutely brilliant APPSimple effective way to track nutrition and excercise ... Keeps you honest and on track .. Loaded with verified information ....Version: 4.0.1
✓ Pretty Good (with a caveat)I really like this app. It allows me to track my calorie/nutrient intake fairly effortlessly. Improvements: whilst the app connects to the Health app to get a running total of Active Energy burnt, it doesn’t also pull in a running total of Resting Energy burnt, which means it’s hard to get a full picture of my calorie intake vs calorie burn rate without checking in the Health app. Add this functionality and it’d be even better..Version: 5.18.0
✓ Great app for tracking!I really enjoy using this tracker, even with just the free version. The aesthetic is very nice to me compared to MFP. I like that you are able to connect your fitness tracker (Apple Watch for me) and I also like that it has meal recommendations depending on your goals. I love that you are able to put in your own food if it’s not listed and build your own meals so you can add all of its contents at once, making tracking oatmeal and smoothies and my other favorite food concoctions much easier. Only downside is that you can’t track only a portion of the meals if you make more than one serving (for example I made muffins and input all the ingredients I used into a meal, until I saw I would only be able to track eating the whole batch rather than 1/6 of the meal). Besides that, I like that there’s a notification option and how you can schedule daily reminders to track. Overall, great calorie/macro tracker and I would highly recommend!.Version: 5.30.1
✓ Better than Myfitpal x20Been looking to replace myfitpal.. cause honestly i never liked it that much and always stopped using it. MyPlate is everything i wanted Myfitpal to be and better. 👍👍🙏 However, id like to customize my calories on a day to day basis. I dont like how i cant change this because my calories are always different.Version: 5.43.0
✓ Excellent!I have been using this app for over 3 years and it has been instrumental in my weight loss success. The prompts really do work and help to keep me on track and for the first time ever I’ve been making the right choices in regards to a balanced lifestyle..Version: 5.33.0
✓ Brilliant app for Food intake diaryThis is an fantastic free app to keep track of calorie intake, calories burnt and also food split of carbs, fats and protein. I used this app to ensure I am on track for my new start of ketogenic diet. Highly recommended for downloading!.Version: 5.17.0
✓ Theres better ones for Keto but good for what it does.So overall, it’s not bad. I like that my Bluetooth scale syncs to it to enter in my weight as well as my Apple Watch to track calories burned. Logging food is easy enough however I wish it had the graph by each food that was eaten that day so you don’t have to open them individually to see which one had the crazy amount of carbs/fat/protein. It has them when you’re putting the info in but by the time I’m done and I look at my overall (daily) intake, I forget which was what. One thing I’m really disappointed in is there is no Keto/Paleo or other “diet” options in the food selections. There’s not even a low-carb option. The food plan is pretty moot if you’re following a specific diet. There’s really not a whole lot of recipes and it would be extraordinary helpful if in those few, you could like or save the ones you want to go back to later vs scrolling through them to find the one you wanted. I paid for the 1 month service to get the full experience but dont see a point in resubscribing. I’ll be trying the paid version of Carb Manager since it’s specific to the Keto diet. —-I’ll miss the look of this app though. Also very noteworthy—it counts carbs for what they are, not net carbs. This is why I was starving! LoL I thought me hanging an avocado was it. Well—on Keto, it’s only 2(net) carbs instead of 12! 🥴.Version: 5.32.0
✓ AwesomeJust wish it would break out “fats” into good and bad - olive oil - good, avocados - good. Not lump all fats into one category - aside from saturated. Other than that I really like it. The amount of foods in it is great and I love the scanning - however I have noticed some foods don’t come up exactly like the label of the item scanned. Have recommended I have recommended it to other friends. I have heart disease and find it useful..Version: 5.43.0
✓ My PlateVery easy to use once you get used to it. A good reality check on portions. Keeps me from eating at night..Version: 5.42.0
✓ Seems like a great app only 1 thing missing for meLove that you can track macros on the free version. Only downfall that I’ve found is I haven’t found a way to import a URL of a recipe so I don’t have to manually input every ingredient..Version: 5.38.1
✓ Great app! Even without purchasing the subscriptionThis app is great! I have been overweight for the last 20 years and I never thought that I would be able to lose the weight. I downloaded this app with pretty low expectations. After using it for a few days and seeing everything that it helps you keep track of, I was addicted. Between accurately tracking my caloric intake with this app, and eating minimal processed foods, I have lost 40 lbs in about two and a half months and I am officially in a healthy weight range again! You can set a goal of how much weight you want to lose (or gain) and it will show you your daily calorie goal. It has a great graphing function that will help you keep track of progress for the last year. It tracks your daily calories, weight, BMI, carb intake, sugar intake, and so much more. Watching the line on the graph go down for the last few months has really kept me motivated. I couldn’t have lost the weight without using this app. If you are serious about keeping track of your diet and becoming healthier, I highly recommend the free download. I’m still using the free version, but I am so impressed with the results, I am going to purchase it tonight to see all of the other stats that I can track..Version: 5.28.0
✓ Excellent appI have now had this app for 3 days and I'm so happy with it as it helps me keep track of my calorie goal on daily basis. It's easy to follow I will definitely be keeping it for long term and will highly recommend it to family and friends live strong calorie count has giving me the freedom to eat what I want within my calorie goal😋.Version: 4.1
✓ BrilliantThis fitness app is great, it really gives you a visual on your eating and health. This app has made me truly think of what I put in my system. I do 40 minutes of jogging daily, and I am motivated even more knowing that I can track how much calories I have consumed and burned. However, I believe this app could be updated, to ask the user how many minutes or hours of exercise they have done today, whether it is cardio or weights, this app needs more questions to simply show 99% results..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Best free calorie tracking app by farI haven’t tried any of the paid features, but even the free options allow me to track both meals & water, which is more than most other free apps I downloaded. The design is simple and makes sense. I also participate in a meal kit service which supplies nutritional facts for each meal; this app makes it easy to enter those facts and track and chart those calories & macros. No better free app for this - I checked all the apps recommended by Apple HealthKit. Apps that looked slightly better usually had a cost for the app itself, and/ or anywhere from $10-$40 monthly fee. At $10 for a single month, $5/mo for 6 months, or $3.75/mo for a year, the Gold membership may well be worth it. Having so many free resources in an app is really heartening; I might upgrade to gold just to support this app & it’s developers. Thank you..Version: 5.19.0
✓ RecommendSuper helpful and easy to use. Lots of extra things that help you stay on track!.Version: 5.1
✓ Pretty good overallI’ve used this app on and off for about 2 years and I like it, I use the free version and I think it’s pretty good considering it’s free and all. Just wish they had more U.K. foods on it so I wouldn’t have to make them myself, and that the exercise bit is like the food ones where you can delete things from it, as I would often look at an exercise I haven’t done and it would add it to my total, and also because you can’t see exactly what exercises you’ve done that day in the same way that you can see what foods you ate for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack, so if those things were changed I’d like the app more, but overall it’s good, can’t really complain.Version: 5.12.5
✓ Better than other apps out thereLove this, other apps have way too much noise (and ads) but this one does everything it’s meant to, and with a nice UI. Keep being awesome!.Version: 5.25.2
✓ Super easy to use! Have been using this for years nowSuper easy to use! Have been using this for years now.Version: 5.34.0
✓ Sudden changesI’ve used this app for a few years to keep on track when I’m trying to lose weight. It’s I’d simple and easy to use. However all of a sudden the tracking displays have changed from graphs to bar charts. I can’t really see the differences on a bar chart .... and can see where to change back to a graph. Poor show..Version: 5.30.1
✓ Love this appI started with Noom but tracking my food was the only part of that program that seemed useful to me and I didn’t like it much even for that. With Noom there were a lot of clicks required and irritating pop up messages following every single food entry. So I decided to for search for a free app just to track food. Next I tried MyFitnessPal. That lasted less than a day. Then I tried MyPlate. I’ve been using it for about a week and I’m loving it. It’s easy to use, clean interface, minimal junk, ads, or other annoyances. Plus it has features I didn’t even know I wanted like showing how close my intake tracks to my goal percentages for each macronutrient. The goals are also nicely customizable. I’ve already lost a couple pounds. Now I’ve signed up for one of their meal plans which is something I wasn’t even considering before trying the app. I’m super happy to have a grocery list of healthy foods all prepared for me (big time and effort saver there) and to try some new recipes this coming week. My only request would be if they could offer the option to double or quadruple recipe quantities since I’m cooking for a family. But obviously I can do that myself. At the price of free this thing is a heck of a deal. 5 stars. Update: The first day’s meal plan arrived. The meals didn’t appeal to me so I’m probably not going to do that after all. Still loving the app though..Version: 5.28.0
✓ Easy! Very encouraging!This is a very comprehensive app listing nutrition, water, weight, exercise and daily comparisons! Easy to use! Love how it gently reminds you to log in meals. Has nearly every food listed! Love how we can see calories /weight/ exercise/ water etc by day and totals compared. Do wish it had more brand name foods but it has enough to find something similar. The ONLY negative is many similar items are listed as anyone can enter anything. And we can’t really trust all those entries in calories since they rarely ever match each other. Suggest: Can you block an entry that is same as other database entries by name and size? And can you require users enter a quantity / size for items they enter? Sooo many user entries show “ 1 portion ” as the size but don’t say How Big that portion is!?? Or they say “1 slice”....they don’t say how big is the slice? I see many listing a burger size as “1 burger”?? How big is that? Sizes can be from 3 oz to 16 oz!? Those entries are useless. But do love how we can enter something unique that we don’t see listed...just need details so others can use those too. Thx for a comprehensive app!.Version: 5.14.6
✓ Recent update is frustratingUpdate: The update after my review help resolved most of my issue with the app. There are some things that could use work, like the delay when adding or removing foods, but it’s minor things. I do wish there was a way to add new foods through barcode. I’ve used MyPlate for nearly a year now and had little issues before the most recent update. I am getting similar bugs to other reviewers but I’m most frustrated with the recently tracked list; I have to constantly type and search for my foods and if there is more than two of the same keywords I don’t see the third recently tracked. If there was at least a way to edit or have a favorite for the recently tracked that would be much better. The my meals section is also not working the same as before, there’s no way to edit meals already done. Overall it’s ok. I can live with it, but it was much better before..Version: 5.20.2
✓ Absolutely AmazingThis app helps you take control and cut down on foods by displaying the exact amount of calories inside it. It has integrated workouts to help loose body fat! It is perfect to get fit, I would recommend this to someone who is on a diet or wants to loose weight!.Version: 5.18.0
✓ The best app ever for weight lossThe app has helped me for 3 months now and i have lost around 2 stone , i still have a few cheat meals but as i can track everything i do from exercise to calories i manage to stay on track with my weight loss . Best thing is the app is free and has helped me so much . I only have one thing i can fault is that there is not many uk foods however i can easily add my own food . Great App :).Version: 5.17.0
✓ No bad!No a bad app considering it’s free, but find it fiddly and not very good when it comes to measurements of food due to it being based on USA measurements…might be better if there was a UK version. The barcode scanning is useless because it hasn’t yet recognised any barcodes I’ve tried…again I guess due to not being UK based! I’ve had better but persevere as other stopped working due to Apple security!.Version: 5.37.0
✓ Great App But.....The Exercise cannot be edited and beware that although you may choose half an hour of an Activity, the Activity will show the full hour. That said, it’s not difficult adding a new Exercise in timed increments that best suit you. If you are on your own the bed changing may take 15 minutes, however, if you’ve a family of 4 then that Activity is going to take far longer than 1 bed. I’m happy with it although I wish there were foods more to Australia’s supermarket stocks & not the US. And again, although it’s easy enough to ‘Add’ those foods it does become, at times, a bit of a hit-and-miss. In Oz we often have a far wider selection of Apples, for instance. Plus it’s a pain entering every single piece of Aussie foods. I do feel this App relies heavily on the User to ‘add’ rather than being researched and added by the App owner/s or Developers. A little fine tuning is what’s required..Version: 5.13.1
✓ New user, seems goodOnly just started using this but seems good , especially for a free app. Would be five stars, but scanner doesn’t seem to recognise uk bar codes. Will consider upgrading when I’ve used it for a couple more weeks. Overall ethos of site is very positive and encouraging, which is also good..Version: 5.13.1
✓ AmazingThe best thing about this app is that it is simple and easy to use. I’ve been lifting seriously for the past year and went through a bulking phase where I went from 178 to 205 in a little over 6 months, in large part due to this app. A lot of the things I had been eating before using this app I didn’t know the exact makeup of the food I was intaking and with this app it helped me so much. So many other apps I tried for my meal prepping wanted to give me different things to eat and to try this and that, when all I wanted was something that could track my calories, carbs, protein, and fat intake. It was a blessing to have this. The “my food” part of this makes it quick and easy when, like many competitive powerlifters, you’re on a strict diet and eat the same foods at the same time every day for weeks on end. Now that I’m in the cutting phase again, I set my calorie intake level that I want, and I can track it throughout the day. Overall, amazing for those who do dieting seriously like I do..Version: 5.16.2
✓ Ideas to make it betterI love this app I would track my calories by hand before and this just makes it better and easier. I would love if you had an option to pay yearly not just monthly for the gold plan because if you add that I will defiantly do the gold plan. I would be good if you did like a silver and bronze plan too that have other options. Also you should add a ** drink water remind** where we can have it remind us a few times a day. And it would be cool if we could have friends through the app and see each others calories and support each other because I do this with my mom but we have to go over calories when we’re together because I can’t just add her like a friend. Another idea in the meal prep you should have a weeks worth of recipes when you click that tab and you could change them every week. You could do it for the gold of course. Hope you read this post and get back to me. I really would love to see some of these updates it would make the app better and the pay by year would be perfect not everyone likes having another monthly bill..Version: 5.13.1
✓ Easy to use! Has lots of food options!Really great app for what you get for free. Especially the Stronger Meal Plan! A grocery list and recipes each week? Amazing! And the fact the app has so many foods logged into its base means I can find every brand of what I eat. And there’s the option to add your own foods which is great since I do a lot of homeade baking. I also love that you can cut your serving size into very particular amounts (e.g. 1/2, 1/3, etc.) Definitely recommend this app!.Version: 5.23.1
✓ Healthy AppIt is a great app to watch on your calorie intake and consume. On top of that it is very simple to use. I wish it would have two more features to get my five stars. 1. Sync-up of data on multiple device. Like I use iPad and mobile both, but if you entered the data in iPad it is not visible on phone this is something basic that each app has. 2. I wish it would have auto connect with other health app that record walking running or swimming. This would have automatically get the consumed calories. I am talking about the apps Garmin Connect or Starva..Version: 5.13.1
✓ Helping Me So Much!I was trying to gain weight for so long and finally I found a great and healthy way to do it! I really love the progress bar because I am a very visual person and it gives me great insight into how many calories I have left..Version: 5.8.2
✓ Just LearningI am one of “those people” that never had to worry about my weight...until I hit 60 and quit smoking. Because I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, I never understood the correlation between food and gaining weight. Fast forward five years and I packed on the weight. I’ve been living with it for three years and decided it was time to start losing some of this again. I knew any fad diet was not going to work for me, so I decided to start paying attention to what I’m eating and how much I’m eating. Not having any idea what foods are high in calories or carbs or proteins, I decided to download an app to help me. After reading the reviews on My Plate I decided to try it and I was absolutely amazed at how easy this was to do. Not only am I able to keep track of my portions (calories), but I am learning which foods are high in carbs, fat and protein. I am almost 4 weeks in and have lost 4 1/2 pounds. The only thing I don’t like about it is how the list of food I have entered is saved. If you originally enter it for lunch and another time do you want to have it for dinner you have to search for it in the list under lunch and then add it to dinner for that day. I also wish there were some sort of organization to it so you could sort them alphabetically and be able to delete ones that you know you’re not going to use anymore. If there is a way to delete them, I can’t find it. Other than that, I think this app is well worth it..Version: 5.27.0
✓ Recommended!Great app easy to use, their not trying to rip you off, you get more then enough for free!.Version: 5.38.2
✓ Love this App tool!I am very pleased to be able to say what a great app this is for keeping track of your food intake, calories, water, snacks, exercise and weight!! The food and calorie/info is very extensive, which is great for those of us that live outside of the US, such as New Zealand, as we dont have alot of the food brands/types of foods that they do. We tend to have a bit less of the massive variety of junk food and we have fairly strict rules governing quality/nutrition for a large portion of the food groups (to a certain extent anyway!). It also gives the ability to input calories/info manually - another great feature! Overall, I am very pleased. There is just a couple of itsy-bitsy annoyances...I would love to be able to go back to previous days and see the nutritional pie graph breakdown, and the weight graph does not seem to track correctly? Just seems a little...odd...Not a biggy though!! :) I recommend this app to everyone who wishes to have a basic, easy to use, concise app to help with their weightloss/gain/exercise. Well done! AAA***** from me!.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Helps with your goalsThis is great if you want to loose weight/maintain weight/gain weight! It helps you be honest with yourself and gives you short term goals which helps you complete your big ones!! :).Version: 3.0.9
✓ Great app to keep track of dietThis app is very easy to use and keep a log of your food intake. I'm not sure that the calories used is accurate. It I am not using a watch so that could help. The weight comparison over time is a great display..Version: 5.12.0
✓ Love it.The app is helping me lose weight by helping me count carbs. At first I was using the free version just to count calories. I was doing great in the calorie department, but my weight wasn’t changing much. I dug a bit deeper, and thanks to the other features of the app I realized I was eating carbs mostly. The app opened my eyes to the macros, and I did more research online. I limited my carbs intake to under 50%, and mind you, I hadn’t been eating candy, cakes, cookies or snacks before, my weight started dropping off at about two pounds per week. The app taught me that there are carbs in beans and vegetables, and that I need to pay attention to the macros in all the foods, including those that I had thought healthy options; my vegan home cooked meals were packed with carbs. By balancing my diet better, I actually started feeling better almost immediately. The fogginess is gone, I have energy, I don’t drag myself from task to task, and I’m at my lowest weight in years, and my BMI is normal. I will reach my weight goal in a couple of weeks. I am eating differently, and I don’t miss my old food habits. I don’t crave sugar. I feel good. Thank you, App!.Version: 5.29.2
✓ PerfectExactly what i.needed, just need to track my macros and a premium subscription isnt needed..Version: 5.23.0
✓ Great appI am really enjoying this app! I wish it had a place to put daily notes in. Reactions to foods and so on. Please make something like this..Version: 5.42.1
✓ Notes please,??One of the best apps I have used, very simple and the free version has a ton of foods to look up and or create, along with creating whole meals is great. The only thing missing is a section for notes….other than that it is a great app..Version: 5.42.1
✓ WowGreat app.Version: 5.40.0
✓ By far one of the most useful apps I have on my phone!!!So I’m starting a calorie deficit to try and lose some weight and this app is perfect for calculating calories. I’m also trying to stick to a 50:30:20 meal plan when it comes to carbs, proteins, and fats. It gives me a percentage of each for every meal I have and a total at the end of the day. I can enter my calorie goal and it will tell me how many calories I have left for each day. It also has other features I didn’t even know I needed but now rely on, like different articles addressing an assortment of nutritional topics or an entire meal plan where is gives you healthy recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. By far my favorite health & nutrition app I’ve ever used. I’ve tried MyFitnessPal, Noom, Weight Watchers, and MyPlate is by far my favorite and most useful. It also has little to no ad interferences so I’m never interrupted by them! Overall, 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to keep track of their calories and nutrition!.Version: 5.32.0
✓ Weight tracking gone?Been using the app for a month and a half to track my calorie and weight loss progress but I think since the last update, the graph for weight loss/gain has been removed? It only shows overall calorie intake over time. Please bring it back as it’s useful to see if there’s any result to my caloric restriction..Version: 5.30.1
✓ Handy and simpleMakes it easy to track your weight, input and exercise. Keeps you accountable so that you stay on track with your goals. Sometimes some foods are difficult to find in the database but generally it is by good and the option to add custom foods and exercises alleviates this. Freezes occasionally, but generally very good. 4 stars.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Daily TrackingThis keeps you disciplined and on track so that by recording your daily intake with food and exercise helps you reach your desired goal.Version: 5.11.0
✓ You can’t edit exerciseGreat calorie counting app! Only problem is you can’t edit exercise and I hope this gets fixed!!.Version: 5.43.0
✓ My plate appI love the app but unfortunately the bar scanner doesn’t seem to work in Australia.Version: 5.13.1
✓ Great app n' easy to use!Generally, I find the app easy to follow and the recent facelift is so much better :) would love to see a barcode scanner (hence 4stars) but other than that its awesome!.Version: 4.3
✓ Please fix!!Will rate five if this gets fixed! After 1 day of using i cant search for any new foods, wont load or present any information other than ones i have already done!!.Version: 5.14.4
✓ It’s got everything!Not only does it help you track your food effectively, there are so many features that make it so much better. From barcode scanning to having recipes and workouts! Great app!.Version: 5.26.1
✓ A really good app for people whether they are overweight or notThis is a very good weight and diet tracking app. Much better (and free) than most other apps I've tried. I'm not overweight, but I want to see how many calories I have each day, so this is very good. A few more foods to choose from would be good, as it took me a while to find my favorite cereal, and if you didn't need to be connected to the Internet to use it, I would definitely give it 5 stars. 😃.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Good for tracking macrosI needed an app that let me choose my daily targets for my macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbs) and then add to my progress towards my daily goals as the day went on and I had more meals. This app is very good for that, but that is all I use it for I can’t speak for other features. Only complaint is that it doesn’t recognise any barcodes for U.K. food products. Maybe it’s more of an American food application? Quite easy to add foods manually though.Version: 5.13.1
✓ So happy!I am so happy I made the decision to go with this app to track my goals!! It is so user friendly and the cost is so worth it! Especially for folks who maybe can’t afford much! Thanks for being awesome! Can’t wait to crush my goals with this great app!.Version: 5.38.1
✓ SimpleIt’s easy, use it and lose it!.Version: 5.39.0
✓ Great app!I use the app everyday. Wish I could afford the full app but what I use now is sufficient..Version: 5.41.0
✓ Good, but room for improvementThis app is great for counting calories but unfortunately requires me to manually input most of my foods (since the search reveals limited options). If the app allowed people to take photos (photos of food cannot be taken by users) and then input the information for a product (eg Cheerios) it would be much more usable - This information could be then added to the livestrong database for others to use..Version: 3.0.7
✓ Love it!I I think this is great and easy way to count all your calories from your every day life. It also motivates you to eat less and exercise more because you see exactly how much you've done for your body so far. This is a great app :).Version: 3.0.9
✓ Changes your perspectiveI've always been unsuccessfully trying to lose weight until I downloaded this app. The weight is basically falling off and I have never truly understood HOW to correctly lose weight until I downloaded it. It shows the exact amount of calories, and it adjusts your daily calorie intake in order to lose your desired amount of weight per week. Get this app!.Version: 5.3
✓ Easy to use!This app is helping me be more aware of what I eat and as a result I'm starting to shed a bit of extra weight I'm trying to lose. It has a good database of foods and its great that it tracks exercise too. I have a couple of bugs in it occasionally where it doesn't tally the calories correctly but overall it's been a really great tool..Version: 5.8.2
✓ Good but no UK foodsI really like this app and use it every day. I'm sure it's perfect if you are in the US but I haven't found a single UK barcode that scans so it means there is a lot of manual entry required. Only other grow is that you should be able to select different volumes of water as opposed to the 4 on offer. I drink 500 ml glasses of water throughout the day but can't enter that. Fix these two things and it would be a 10 star let alone 5..Version: 5.14.4
✓ Saving my futureBefore I had gotten this app, I seriously didn't feel confident in what I was eating at all. This is is saving me and here's why. I'm 14. Before you start yapping about how I shouldn't be dieting and blah blah blah, I have very good reasons so try to hear me out. Both of my parents have very bad health and struggle with their weight a lot. Cancer runs in the family pretty strongly, and my father has hearth issues. My mom is always in pain in her joints and we are pretty sure she has a type of arthritis. I'm currently 158 pounds which is a lot- especially for my age. If I continue eating the way I do, living the way I do, or drinking as little as I do now...I could potentially not live a long healthy life. If I eat healthy and I workout everyday and try to drink 80 oz of water, I think I would actually be a healthy human. Will it stop me from cancer, arthritis, and blood pressure issues? Maybe not, but when you are healthy and living a healthy lifestyle, I believe you have a bigger chance in survival. I have been using this app everyday for about a week and it makes me really happy to say that I am losing weight as we speak! My skin looks really nice and I am finally feeling confident in my body. I am so happy to have this app, it's a life changer and a life beginner. I love that it doesn't have pop up ads either. Thank you creators ✨💛✨..Version: 5.29.2
✓ It’s an amazing appThis app is a really good app for knowing your macronutrients and how many calories you should be eating based on age, height and weight. Also, it calculates how much water you need to lose weight..Version: 5.23.1
✓ Great ConceptI like this app a lot, my biggest concern, is that you should be allowed to set your age, because teens and below need a certain amount of calories, and not being a leg to set this, can make it seem like it is okay to eat less than the necessary amount regularly. I also think that there are a lot of uneducated people in the chat feature. I understand that it is hard to educate everyone, but my suggestion, would be that when you sign up for the app, to have to go through a quick flip through, things like self confidence and doing it for you, and about children needing a specific amount of calories, balancing nutrition with exercise, drinking water, etc. I also think that this app should incorporate sleep, because sleep is very important to staying healthy, because we shouldn’t be doing these things to lose weight, or be pretty, we should be doing them to be healthy and have a better quality of life. I also think that maybe there should be a kids version that not only tracks basic health things, but also teaches kids about nutrition with fun games, and entertaining exercise, it could be a fun way to get they whole family involved..Version: 5.29.2
✓ Great, but could be even better!I’ve really enjoyed using this app, and it’s really easy to use. The only issue I have found is the amount of inaccuracies in the stored food information. It would be really cool to have a user rating system to help verify the information of the foods listed. For example, users could upvote or downvote certain foods based on accuracy. Also, there should be a way to report/give feedback on foods that have incorrect information. I have found that even some of the “verified” foods are wrong. For example, I compared the information from the package to the information on the app from the bacon that I had this morning. The app had the nutritional information for raw bacon listed instead of cooked. Who eats raw bacon? The same thing happens with boxed foods that have the unprepared and prepared calories listed. With that being said, I understand it would be near impossible to make it 100% accurate, but I hope the accuracy can be improved..Version: 5.14.4
✓ BuenísimaBuenisima.Version: 5.9.2
✓ User-friendly, health-friendly, great appLove this app, it automatically tracks all of your steps, provides a nice chart to know how many calories you have left depending on the info you put in, and if you follow it, you’re basically guaranteed to gain or lose 1-2 lbs a week (or maintain) as long as you put all your food info right. The gradual weight loss is also healthy for you- this app has helped me approach calorie counting as a way of being conscious, not guilty. I struggle to lose weight, and I lost 8 lbs over the summer by taking a walk every time I wanted to eat but was close to my daily limit. I’ve never lost that much at once, and it felt great, even if i did gain it back once i started school again. I have a RENPHO scale (which I also love for multiple reasons) which also automatically puts my new weight into this app. Overall, the layout is great, really great graphic design, and this makes it easy to keep track of your habits. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to lose weight but feels like it’s overwhelming. Just the number of calories burned going up after I exercise makes me feel even better for putting in effort!.Version: 5.21.0
✓ Exactly what I needed!Have lost 25lbs in the past 6 weeks and this app has been a huge part of that success! I have a ways to go- but I know I'll be using this app to help get me to my goal..Version: 5.12.3
✓ Enjoyed the AppI use MyPlate everyday to track my food and calories. I love the app as it is very convenient to add food and customize it! Abosolutely love it!.Version: 5.41.0
✓ Good app, syncs properly, but needs better language settingsReally happy to use this app which has synced with my iPhone and Apple Watch exercises properly (other tracking apps haven’t). It’s strange that there are so many variants on basic foods in other languages - search cherry tomatoes and you’ll have the English one first, then plenty of Spanish and Portuguese options, but there’s currently nothing in the Russian database (living in Russia, some foods are not found in the English/latin databases)..Version: 5.12.5
✓ Tracking food is funI have used the free version of this app for two years whilst following a healthy lifestyle programme followed by maintenance. Lost 23k. so very pleased. I don’t find the exercise monitoring as easy to use as the food but overall a very good tool to use. Please keep up the good work of supporting those of us that need it. Many thanks Helen.Version: 5.17.0
✓ Barcode Scanner AbysmalHi there, I'm changing my eating habits and been on the hunt for apps to aid in motivation and progress. From my limited experience with this app, it has everything I need. However I've tried the barcode scanner on multiple items and it either doesn't do anything or repeatedly bounces a square over the barcode in question. I'm using iOS 8 on an iPad mini with Retina Display. Does it work on Australian foods? Another app, MyFitnessPal almost comes close to my needs and the barcode scanner worked first go and many other times I tried. If you can fix whatever the issue is I'd be greatful and surely do the in app purchase. Thankyou! :).Version: 5.1
✓ I really like this app.... but had to delete itI downloaded a bunch of calorie trackers to test them side by side, and I think My Plate is one of the best. I love that it has a verified badge next to items when you search, because I feel overwhelmed by the amount of choices/repeats in most other calorie trackers. The layout is easy to use and the ads are unintrusive in the free version. However, the chat/forum that I thought would be helpful to me is absolutely overrun with 14 & 15 year old girls who are trying to get from 112 to 109. Girls.... live your life and stop starving yourself. It was so depressing to read and amounted to about every other post as far as I could see. The community was great about telling them to cut it out but it didn’t seem to help. I had to delete the app off my phone because I couldn’t handle it. My advice to the developers is to ban teenagers off this app- most teens do not need to be dieting, and if they do for health reasons it should be with the help of a doctor, not an app..Version: 5.25.2
✓ Is this app double counting my steps?I can’t find information anywhere. I have the apple health app synced and mostly only use this app to convert my steps into calories burned. But now it shows two tracked activities (with non-identical numbers) and I’m not sure if I actually am burning that much or if myplate also converts steps into calories now too?? If so then it renders the synced health app completely useless. A dev response would be much appreciated!.Version: 5.43.0
✓ Very useful appsVery useful apps.Version: 5.9.4
✓ Great app! Would recommendNo glitches encountered, tracks my progress and allows me to see percentages etc. Has encouraged me to start eating better..Version: 5.12.3
✓ Best app ever!Simple and quick to use! I wonderful way to become mindful of what you eat....even if you don't want to lose weight! Use this app and you will be surprised at how many little unhealthy things you eat without even thinking and how they add up!.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Great weight management toolGreat app, really easy to use and such a good tool for weight management/loss. Just being able to record what you’re eating and exercise done. It gives real focus..Version: 5.17.0
✓ Effective AppI have been using this app for years now and have found it to be one of the best if you want to manage diet, weight and exercise.Version: 5.7.1
✓ AwesomeEasy to use, and practical for people on the go. Needs more foods from NZ but otherwise on the whole good :).Version: 3.0.9
✓ Good but could be improvedI really like this app it’s got everything that you need to track your calorie intake however I wish that there would be a place on the app where you can input the exercise you did let’s say if you went biking or something that would be a useful feature to have but overall good app ..Version: 5.13.1
✓ IncredibleEveryday I plan my meals ahead and it helps me to be aware and stay controlled when I am tempted to eat unhealthy!! Awesome app!! Love seeing my daily progress graph too!.Version: 5.9.2
✓ So Great!!!Awesome, easy, encouraging and practical!!.Version: 5.9.4
✓ Excellent.App works as expected. Excellent for health and fitness minded people. I recommend it highly..Version: 5.39.0
✓ Time zone problem!Needs work as a day out for daily measures - this used to work perfectly in older versions so very frustrating..Version: 5.1
✓ ReviewAwesome but needs to be NZ food there and already preloaded cardio activities.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Just what I wantedI needed an app that I could input food and it would record the protein, carbs & fats for an all up calorie count - it's a good prompt to eat a particular food - the choice to pick from in the foods is endless - great app plenty of info - recommended to my family and friends.Version: 4.5.1
✓ Good*Updated* 1/9/18 The developers responded to my issues in a timely manner. That was greatly appreciated. I have since been able to use the “edit” option under the “my foods” tab effectively. Problem one solved. And in regards to sync my two devices it would seem I didn’t sync the devices correctly. “Force sync” the device you just added food to. THEN “force sync” the other device you wish to update. Thanks MyPlate Developers! Nice for tracking macros. However, I would like a couple more features added. 1.) Id like to be able to “modify” my food entries. There are a lot of in inaccurate additions to the food list. I think this is greatly due to not being able to edit an item once it’s been uploaded. I took the time to enter all the nutritional facts into an item, hit save, just to realize the protein was showing .18grams of protein, not 18grams. Very frustrating. 2.) I have two devices with this app, both under the same profile log in, and they don’t sync to each other. If the profile records could sync to an online data base that would be great. Hopefully these features are added soon and I’ll change my rating from 3 star. Thanks for listening..Version: 5.13.1
✓ Good app, few tweaks could make it greatI really like this app, really easy to use and helps to keep on track with daily food intake at a glance. I just think the food selection on the diary could be expanded and also the scanning of the barcode on food packaging never works as it doesn’t pick up anything you scan and you have to then manually input the nutritional info. I just think this one improvement would make a huge difference! I hope the developers can improve this as otherwise really like using this app!.Version: 5.19.0
✓ I really like itYou can search up certain foods in the app or add your own, you can track your calories super easy:).Version: 5.38.1
✓ User friendlyQuite simple to use. Just have to be careful of member added calorie counts to be accurate. Wish I never browsed the community blogs. Some comments are ridiculous and sounds like they live on the chit chat. I'm not doing the community thing again . But all else fine and keeps me on track.Version: 4.5.1
✓ Great, but with a Bad ChangeI’ve been using this app for a long time, and generally, it’s awesome. The UI is really nice, and it makes it easy to track things quickly and keep tabs on nutrition. One key change, however, has disappointed me. In a recent update, they changed the weight progress chart from a scatter plot to bar graph. Not a big deal, right? Unfortunately, this UI change has made it look like my weight has hardly changed at all over time, while previously it showed weight changes as dramatic, which I found encouraging. This new change is frustrating and makes it harder to be excited about my progress. I’m not sure if this review will reach any devs, but I’d like to hear their thought process on this change. Update: Thanks for the response! I really appreciate the fact that you all listen to feedback. And as a programmer myself, I get it - these things take time. Anyways, overall great app and it’s wonderful to actually hear from the developers..Version: 5.30.1
✓ EasyI have tried a few of these apps, and even though it does not have a setting for Australian Kj, most of the products we have can be found easily. It remembers your frequently added foods or you can create your meals from core ingredients. I also found the workout section fantastic. The video does the exercises with you and times you as you progress. I will keep using this app, and I can not wait to see how the watch section works. K.Version: 5.9.3
✓ Great helpI appreciate the daily reminder, it helps me keep track my calorie intake. Have been using this app on & off for a lot of years now & still I find it very friendly user. It helps a lot when I want to lose some weight..Version: 5.26.1
✓ Very good ✨I have just got the regular part of the app not gold or premium or whatever they call it and if you are looking to track you calories and have some workouts and share results with others this is the app for you. Also I have had no ads on this app so far! Amazing app overall ✨.Version: 5.28.0
✓ Kim henningOnly just started to use this app but have found it really good at keeping track of calories consumed and exercise. Makes you think twice about having just that little extra..Version: 5.13.1
✓ More AccessibilityI have been using MyFitnessPal for a long time and was looking for a refreshing new experience. Came across your app and actually I think I prefer it more than MyFitnessPal, the concept and it’s compatibility with the iPhone’s software makes me (an iPhone user) want to rather use this app instead of MyFitnessPal. I want to make this my go to app except for one feature, the fact that the color choice of the app is in relation to your iPhone being in light mode or dark mode. As someone who prefers having my phone in dark mode, when I opened the app and saw the screen dark, it was a turn off for me. Some people may think otherwise and prefer the dark mode, but to me it gave a depressing vibe. As small as this feature is, if I’m going to use an app for every meal to count calories I for sure want it to look appealing to me. I think a simple fix for this would be to give the person the option to choose whether or not they want it to be light or dark in the app settings, and to not have it based off your iPhone settings. As nit picky as this critique is, this one feature would make me switch from MyFitnessPal to your app in an instant without hesitation, but until then I’ll be staying on MyFitnessPal solely because of the ability to have my screen continue to be white, even when I’m in dark mode. This is a great app, but adding in a little personal accessibility would blow the competition out of the water..Version: 5.28.0
✓ Excellent app!This is a great tool for helping stay on track, whatever your healthy eating goals. I have lost 10kgs (22lbs) and this is helping me get the last bit of extra weight off. Calorie count is excellent, the weight chart is a great motivator although sometimes the lines and the numbers don't quite add up...but it is still very helpful. Will definitely upgrade. Thanks!.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Great!Has almost all foods, and accurate nutrition. Easy to use, especially when I need to know the percentage of Protein/ carbs and fats. Good for bodybuilders wanting to hit daily protein/ carb ratio. Exercise calculator is very accurate some other apps have no idea what "lifting weights" converts into calories burned. This is a great guide and help!.Version: 5.2
✓ Brilliant!I just love it and have been using it for 6 months so far. The two things I would say to improve is make out when the sugar is natural + healthy from fruit and when it’s from unhealthy stuff. Also if you could one day add a feature that lets you change your goals a bit that would be wonderful!.Version: 5.14.1
✓ This app helped me drop 60 pounds of fatTo give backstory, I was an offensive lineman in high school. I was D2 quality coming out of my junior year. My senior year was filled with injuries and eventually I needed shoulder surgery. This surgery and the subsequent recovery process lead me to peruse academics as my means of scholarship. After I had decided this, I was left with about 3 more months of physical therapy. After my physical therapy was done, I was left an atrophied mess. The muscles I once used to push and block were now faded and flabby. I was fat. During my years of football, I had always wanted to be a leaner, more athletic version of myself. I now had the ability to do so, no longer needing the weight for football purposes. I went from 285 at my peak weight to 214 at my lowest. Since then, I’ve gained some back, but now, I’m making a serious run at cutting for the summer. I look forward to using this app for many more years to come..Version: 5.16.1
✓ FoodGreat tool.Version: 5.12.3
✓ Solid tracking appI have been using this app for a few days now after taking a break. The meal plan seemed like something fun to try, but I just don’t like it. The recipes are not cohesive, and there is a lot of waste with the ingredients (only using 1/2 cup blueberries for the whole week) if I were to actually use this for shopping. I don’t like contributing to so much food waste. Also, I did not get a list of the meals and recipes until the day I start. This is not good for planning my lunches at work, and puts me in a rush on Monday morning. The meal planning option may be good for someone single, who has more red control over cooking, but it is not practical for families. I cancelled my premium membership and will continue to use the free app. If MyPlate had a comprehensive recipe box where I could choose the recipes for the week and then print a shopping list, that would be ideal. I would love to be able to choose my meals for me and my family, that we like, and see how it affects my macros and calorie input before throwing down a lot of money on groceries. Solid app for tracking calories. Wish the premium was better..Version: 5.28.0
✓ GoosReccom to all if ur interested in keeping eye on ur calorie, water intake.Version: 4.1
✓ Was going greatI have been using this app for over two years, it has been fantastic, however went on to log in some macros and the app had not only logged me out but deleted everything. All of my progress and of course the manually typed in food library data all gone. Unimpressed as I know have to start all over again. Stop fiddling about with the app leave it as it is..Version: 5.14.3
✓ Helps you track your effort and resultsThis app will NOT do the weight loss for you, but it will help you to realize you had the power to lose weight through moderation and dedication all along. I have steadily lost 30 lbs in the last 6 months! I went from size 10 to size 2, and am no longer overweight. I have had hypothyroid my entire adult life and never thought I’d be at my college weight again. I wish I’d gotten out of my head and done this sooner! I use this app to track my food and exercise easily and quickly. Most foods and exercises are easily searchable, and you can also create your own food and exercise entries. You can track your daily macros to make sure you’re getting enough of each nutrient. The app has settings for different ages, weights, activity levels and weight goals. I also plan to continue to use this app to maintain my current weight, as well as gain weight at a healthy weight when I get pregnant. Tracking my habits using this app helped me to realize that I used to underestimate the quality and quantity of food and drink I was taking in. It also helped me to rebuild a healthy relationship with exercise. I can now run 3-5 miles every day… and I actually enjoy it. Friends, family and coworkers keep asking me what my secret is… I tell them… It’s the same old idea of calories in, calories out. Use MyPlate to keep track of it all and be honest with yourself..Version: 5.36.0
✓ 5 star strongly recommend!It’s easy to use, doesn’t force you to buy a paid membership and the barcode scanning feature is very useful..Version: 5.38.1
✓ Really easyThis app is really easy to use and it’s also very visually appealing to the eye with your proteins and such being colorcoded so you know to pay attention! The only thing I would suggest to improve is the comment section and the sugar intake system. It would be nice if there was a reply button to other people’s comments in the community to make things easier to write and read. It’s kind of just a bunch of comments and to understand what people are talking about you’d have to read ALL of the comments instead of just the reply section or the original comment that was replied to. It would also be nice if the sugars could be separated from added sugars so it can be clear how much added sugar we should be eating and how much natural sugars we should be eating. As a fruit lover, I love eating my fruits with a low-calorie dip but it’s super hard to tell if I’m going over my added sugars or my natural sugars..Version: 5.28.0
✓ Best FriendVery useful, this helped right from the start when I had no idea how to work out my calorie intake in order to lose weight. So handy to have it do the adding for you, just takes a little time to input the foods you eat regularly..Version: 3.0.8
✓ DrinksThe app is brilliant and has adapted quite well to the British foods, but there could be some more range. I think it would be a good idea for a ‘drinks’ section where you tap in what drink you have.Version: 5.14.3
✓ Easy entryI like how easy it is to enter the foods I eat.I wish sometimes there were different units of measure for some foods. And also I don’t like how I put in a food and multiple choices come up and sometimes none of them are the correct amounts for me and have different calories for the same unit. It would he nice to have someone that was constantly working on slimming down each item to just one easily found choice but multiple units of measure. And lastly your meal plans although nice or sometimes just too complicated for me. I need it very very simple. Especially when you have someone starting a diet for the first time they need like one or two items for each meal only. Maybe offer not so much a mixed dish but two or three items for the same meal like a piece of bacon two eggs one apple etc..Version: 5.37.0
✓ Get more internationalPlease add more UK foods, and also Greek, Spanish and Italian dishes for people trying to follow a Mediterranean diet. I’m happy to load details myself when the food is in packages, but it’s a little harder when I’m in a tapas restaurant. Apart from that, a great job, thanks for making everything easy..Version: 5.17.0
✓ It’s a great app, but calorie count changed.I really like this app, it has helped me lose 30 pounds just by portion control in helping me know exactly (approximately) how many calories I’ve eaten. However, in the past month it seems that the count in calories burned has changed. Before, 10,000 steps walked would show that it burned about 635 calories. Now, 10,000 steps shows that about 1100 calories have been burned. Why such a drastic change? I believe that such a significant change like that will negatively impact my ability to track calories in vs. calories burned. After the above review, the developer contacted me and informed me that due to an iOS update, I was tracking calories from multiple sources on my phone (MyPlate app & Apple health app). The developer advised me on how to correct that problem and I am happy to report that my calorie count seems to have returned back to the way it originally was. Increased star rating from 3 to a 5..Version: 5.43.0
✓ Good butI’m on the basic app. The sugar tab isn’t accurate as fruit and veg doesn’t count as added sugars and can be confusing. So people still have 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. Sugars that don’t count are Added to food (such as dextrose, glucose and fructose), as well as table sugar (sucrose) and the sugar naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit concentrates..Version: 5.12.5
✓ Forget the other apps, this one of ELITE!I’ve tried many calorie tracking apps, and the large majority bait you into setting up all your information before asking for a ridiculous subscription cost, MyPlate however, is totally free for the necessary features, it’s by far the easiest to use also. Recommended to anyone with any goal in mind! Thank you for developing this app, it has made my dieting super easy..Version: 5.43.0
✓ Good appI like this app and have been using it on and off since I was 18 (I’m 23 now), I’m also 5’7”, and about 70 lbs down from 186 lbs. I appreciate the way I’m able to count calories with more precise measurements of food. However, one thing I would love to see on this app are time stamps of exactly when I ate last and/or the ability to input a time stamp. Or even a way to adjust reminders of when I need to eat next that matches my daily routine (if this already exists in the app, my apologies). I have a co-morbid disability that makes food/remembering to eat throughout the day a bit of a challenge for me. So, I think that having a more handicap accessible app to help keep track of my daily in-take would be extremely helpful. Even if I didn’t have a disability and I was still trying to lose weight, I’m pretty sure a lot of people would appreciate an adjustable time stamp..Version: 5.38.1
✓ Loose weightEasy to use, also tried a couple of recipes. Thank you, working for me..Version: 5.41.0
✓ AmazingThis app is letting me keep track of exactly what I’ve eaten, and how many calories I’ve eaten in a day and burned. I can keep a track of my diet so much easier and I would highly recommend!.Version: 5.30.1
✓ Great but approximations on macrosI really like the features, especially scanning in food barcodes! It is a little difficult entering the nutrition data of a portion of a complex meal, but I tend to keep things simple. It I has forced me to take a look at my actual intake and measure my portions. A simple kitchen scale is great with this app when eating whole food. My one gripe is that I am almost certain the macro ratios are slightly inaccurate because I did not purchase the gold version. Net carbs, from which you get calories, are not included in the breakdown for free. Because of this the carbs are not calculated entirely correctly which is not great if a person is on a keto diet that cannot have wiggle room- you constantly would have to recalculate otherwise a person would think they are over in there carb intake. If looks like they count some fiber towards calories. I am irked because it just doesn’t seem to give you an entirely correct macro breakdown. I have wiggle room so I don’t care so much if it is a close approximation..Version: 5.34.0
✓ A decent tracking appI like many of the features of this app. It offers good macro tracking and some vitamin/mineral tracking. It’s simple to enter your food and I do find most of the products I use are listed, with a few exceptions. The search feature is lacking a bit. A lot of times I can type exactly the name of a product into the search and it won’t find it, and sometimes just pulls up weird totally unrelated stuff. Often I have to scan the barcode to find things. Overall I think the use of this is generally fairly intuitive and more simple in layout than similar apps like MyFitnessPal. It took me a minute to figure out the excercise tracking, which I think could be set up a little better (for ease of use, the same setup as the food logging) but it’s not hard to use. These things aside I have liked the app overall. I probably won’t be renewing the premium, which I think is expensive for what You get. I just didn’t find the additional nutrient tracking and other features very helpful for me but maybe they’re worth it for others and maybe that will change with updates/time. But the for the free version I think it’s great and has definitely helped me watch portions and eat better overall..Version: 5.32.0
✓ Very handyI decided to download an app to track my meals because I was concerned about what I was eating. I’ve been a vegetarian for a few years but recently became lactose intolerant and wanted to make sure I was getting carbs/proteins/fats in a good balance. It’s easy to use and gives a nice breakdown with handy graphics, and it also gives nice recipe recommendations. I’m only giving it four stars because of how it’s centered on weight loss as opposed to just health. I used to severely restrict my food intake (less than 300 cal/day) in order to fit a certain body type and I was horribly unhealthy. Having a set of calories given brings back some of that stress and over concentration on calorie intake. I would love it if this focused more on nutrition instead, but you can’t have it all. If you are a vegetarian I would 100% recommend this app though, because it does have vegetarian specific recipes and is very helpful in making sure you get the proper amount of fats/proteins/carbs..Version: 5.19.0
✓ Amazing appI just wish it would let me track by grams and other measurements otherwise it’s great!.Version: 5.43.0
✓ Love it!I love this app! Only started it yesterday and I already love it. You can track how much you're eating in one day, you can do workouts. It helps you either gain weight or loose weight. And I've gone with the gain weight and I already feel like this will really help me❤️ Thank you..Version: 5.14.4
✓ Majority of it’s FREE?It’s not everyday that an app as good as this to do with fitness is free. IM SHOCKED! I’ve looked at many apps like this and all of them have been free for the app but within the app trying to charge me for the actual usage. This app is different. It does charge you for this and that but overall is pretty good for free features which is amazing to see considering I’m broke. I haven’t used the app yet but it deserve at least a 4.6 rating..Version: 5.16.1
✓ Good app but I’ve found a problemThere is no way to delete exercises from your if you accidentally click a exercise and it just stays there adding to your calories left.Version: 5.41.0
✓ Husband lost 70 lbs just tracking caloriesI was using a different app that my PT was using. I told my husband to get an app like this. Once he got MyPlate and he was tracking his calories he realized more of what he was eating. He was better able to avoid foods that were full of empty calories and keeping track of his foods helped him see what was making him sick and what didn’t. It tracks carbs, sugars, fats, sodium, and proteins. (More than this but that’s all we use). Once he realized how much he was actually eating he started making better choices a little at a time. He wanted to see how much he could lose before he started working out and he quickly lost 60lbs. He found that he was eating more than 10,000 empty calories before. Now he keeps it to under 2,000net calories. (It subtracts calories burnt that are tracked with his iWatch- I have an iFITNESS. Which is much cheaper and it syncs to this app as well). He loves it. It’s like a game to him. I tell everyone about this app because I’m so proud of him. Literally, all the motivation he needed was to be shown how much garbage he was eating. Now, because he’s eating less processed sugar, his sores heal faster, he’s off his gout medication,($200/month) and we’re hoping he’ll be off his bp meds next visit. His teeth are in better condition without all the soda. He can’t even stand to eat all the junk because it makes him sick. LOVE THIS APP!.Version: 5.15.0
✓ Barcode ScannerGreat App! However, barcode scanner just does not work! I put in the most popular and recognisable items and then scanner still does recognise it! Even though I put it the right way and everything, really need to sort that out.Version: 5.22.0
✓ AwesomeAwesome app and free!! Has helped me focus on the right foods and drives me to do the exercise. Lost two kgs in two weeks with the direction taken from this app. Agreed though, more foods from NZ is necessary to make sure tracking is accurate and results are a true reflection of my personal efforts..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Useful after serious bowel surgeryUse this app to ensure I am eating enough calories and vitamins to maintain my weight and to measure fat intake (am allowed 5gms daily) Not the normal use but works well for me.Version: 5.41.0
✓ Almost perfectThe app is very useful when it comes to logging meals and being able to keep track of my calories. I love that it shows me my macro total percentage-ages for the day as well. Micronutrient info and daily goals are neat but not totally necessary esp with the sodium thresholds and such available to view online. However, it is a very common and free feature of other meal tracking apps to be able to create a meal (with however many servings of individual ingredients) and then say how many servings that meal makes. Unfortunately, with My Plate when you click on a meal you’ve made, it lists all of the ingredients individually. This makes it very tedious, if not impossible, to accurately input homemade recipes. This is very annoying since I do a lot of cooking at home and meal prepping. I would love to see this one feature changed. Other than that this app is great - especially including all of the online features it allows you to input about your starting point with your body measurements along with weight. The graphs are encouraging. I’d love to give 5 stars when I’m able to make my own “serving” sizes for homemade meals!.Version: 5.14.3
✓ Pretty Easy to use, but why so expensiveI'd been using another app, till a friend put me on to you! I love it. I hate the ads. I would buy the app but simply cannot afford to. I understand my health is important, but when you're skint, things take priority! Looking forward to seeing a poor man's Full Version! 😊👍.Version: 5.9.5
✓ BrilliantMy wife and I both use this for a guide to our eating and it has helped a lot with us both losing a little weight. Great app and free Good work livestrong.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Yes I like this appI have never counted calories before but I need to lose weight and this app lets me know how much I’m eating. It’s fun 🍓Update:- unfortunately most of the foods are American. And I’m surprise how hard it is to find calorie info eg serve of 6 (Sydney rock) oysters! Or sushi. There’s a lot of calorie info on brands (American) but little on simple whole fresh foods..Version: 5.14.7
✓ Easy to use, close enoughYeah it's works best out of the others, but it shouldn't be something you swear by because just because you select 'yoghurt' the nutritional value isn't the same. Same for exercise, it can't really be true for how your body works, but it's a great app to just get a general idea of where you need to change and plus entering in all your food intake helps stop unnecessary snacking!.Version: 5.1.1
✓ FeatureAlthough you can remove an accidental food count you can’t remove an accidental exercise count accidentally imputed. I hope this feature is improved..Version: 5.31.0
✓ Starting again - working better nowUpdate - so far so good. Apple Watch Activity tracking is good. I lost the meals I had created and haven’t tried it again. I had written to app support and they responded - a wonderful sign! I decided to switch apps (from My Fitness Pal) to see if I could get better Apple Watch tracking and also provide a different visual view. I have deleted MyPlate and restarted it to see if there was an error I made. I opened the app at 6am today and it showed I had already eaten breakfast and lunch and had done 325 calories worth of exercise. These were entries from yesterday. Yesterday the entries were not recording correctly. I tried to adjust them, but every time I exited and re-entered, I got a different result. And the Watch tracking, which had been very good, was not working correctly. I like the app enough to start again. Will report back. (Few minutes later) That didn’t work. When I deleted the app, the message said it was deleting the data, but it did not. Edit of a meal doesn’t work. There is no edit capability when I click Edit. Please fix. I’ll find another way to report some of this functionality that needs fixing. Decent app. Just needs some tweaking..Version: 5.18.0
✓ Great AppI really like this app it’s very good at helping me track my calories and macros. I also really like the fact I can create my own custom meals. The only thing I’d recommend is to improve the measuring feature. I tried to add chicken breast and the only options were specific units of grams or ounces. I’d prefer to be able to put a custom amount. Overall I’ll continue to use this app. 👍.Version: 5.43.0
✓ Best meal tracking appThis one is the best; you can adjust the amount by 1/4, 1/3 and so on to ensure you have the correct intake amount. All the foods and brands I need are in there, I can measure my intake levels of protein, fibre, carbs, water. It's really helped me to decipher which foods are irritating my digestion..Version: 5.12.3
