Additional apps to stay on track?

alihoule93

So, I'm looking into apps that help for meal planning/prepping, and it got me thinking that other people probably also use multiple apps to maintain healthy eating/stay organized.

I'm ALL ABOUT organization/planning, so I'd love to hear what everyone uses!

I am looking to try Pepperplate for my purposes, but I'd really also like to hear what works for others (meal prep related or not!)

I've gravitated towards quite a few. When I list them off it sounds like a silly amount but they're all sharing info from the same few sources - my Apple Watch and MFP. AW obviously tracks my activity and I input my food into MFP. My scale is also bluetooth so that is shared without me needing to be pecking away at an app. Many of the apps duplicate purpose but I like seeing info in different ways. For calories: MFP, CaliCalo. For activity my Apple suite of Activity, Health and Watch and then also Zones for an alternate readout. I keep my Fitbit app around as it reads from my scale and passes the info on to MFP/Apple and also has a trend line for weight. I have Waterminder. Others that I use very infrequently include Seconds (interval training clock app), CaliCalo for the calories complication on the Apple Watch, although it doesn't seem to work great, Clue to track my monthly cycle, Cardiogram for detailed HRM and a few others I just look into occasionally. I love data, what can I say. I tried Lifesum btw and hated it.

I use a spreadsheet for inventory and meals, and write my shopping list on paper (used to be phone, but battery died; pen and paper does the job too).

I use Pepperplate for my recipes, though they end up getting sort of duplicated in MFP. I use Fitbit, Runkeeper, Libra, C25k. I use a simple memo calendar (that's literally the name) to keep track of workouts. I have Walk to Mordor for fun.

I keep a version of a paper journal for meal planning and shopping as well. I'll jot down rough goals for the day and what I need at the market and stuff.

Fitbit, C25k or Zombies Run, and Happy Scale

Fitbit, MapMyRun, Happy Scale, and Strides (daily customizable habit tracking app)

Happy Scale for logging weight daily, which averages out gains or losses and gives you a moving average weight, and lots of lovely stats.

Garmin or Fitbit for syncing exercise to MFP. Calorie burns are very accurate in my 995 days of logging.

Strava for syncing with Garmin or Fitbit for exercise stats, running in particular. Love Strava so much!

C25K app by Zen Labs for getting me to run 5 km.

And if you love organisation/planning, I'm loving ToDoist, an app that lets you set tasks for particular days. So much joy ticking things off!
