In 3ish months he's down 25lbs!</p> <p>@mrbee: you can build your own recipes/add your own things. We'll make oatmeal with whatever fruit we have in the house for breakfast and DH will just keep track of quantities and the app adds them up for you. For instance, if you have 1/3 cup oatmeal, you can add the calories for that, plust 1/4c strawberries and 1/4 c skim milk. Most items have the calories on the package, and if it's not on the package, DH just 'looks it up' through the app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42525 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:01:51 +0000 chopsuey 42525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like counting calories.. :P Although.. sometimes I'll do a estimate/count in my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42510 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:51:05 +0000 venice4504 42510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The app I am using has one of the largest catalogs of food I've seen! It even has a lot of restaurant chain food. I have coffee with 2% milk every morning and I end up just going (coffee, 2 servings...then next line item is milk, one cup). You have to break things out sometimes. You can even upload recipes that you make at home and it will portion it out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42490 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:29:28 +0000 mrbee 42490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have considered this! But how do you classify things that aren't in the app... like I have Oatmeal with skim milk and strawberries every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42484 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:21:49 +0000 venice4504 42484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started tracking my own calories using the "My Fitness Pal" app on my phone. Anyone else use it? </p>
