Can someone tell me what the World's Best Calorie Tracker Gadget is? Something that will integrate with My Fitness Pal. I'm struggling to count calories !

MFP is the best that I have found but I try and estimate the best I can and add anything I can to the meal including any condiments like butter, myo, dressing and so on. It takes time but look at your numbers for your trends then adjust your calorie intake up or down from there to meet you intended result. Also make sure you add anything you drink and I think diet 0 calorie sodas hurt somehow not sure why,

I do not at this point want to use a scale to weigh everything, (to extream for me) plus one is not always available. But you estimate the same all of the time your numbers should be close to the same of to high or to low the adjust accordingly. I hope this helps if you come up with a better method let me know.

You are to be commended. Keep up the good work. Before you know it December will be here, and you'll look back at the beginning of 2021 and wonder how far you have come. It will be here before you know it.

Thanks I look forward to that day!!

What is your food plan, Kevin? I see you are active in walking, I'd be interested to know what you're eating... We have a similar H/W size. Thanks! - Todd

Not sure if your asking me but here you go.

I was tired of not feeling good and did not like the number on the scale so talked with my doctor about it. He told me to first cut back on the wasted calories in my diet and try and stay below 2000 calories for the day and see how this works for me. Also has been sending me for tests on the heart and doing blood work to see it is deficient in anything because of diet. Next steps is to give it a few months and see if everything is going good or is a dietitians and nutritionists needed to help with the process. It is always a good idea to keep your doctor in the loop on what you are trying to do to make sure it is safe.


I'm trying to have a better balanced then what I did before I started. Still not the greatest but have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables along with trying to stay below 2000 for the day. But I was use to eating and drinking a big part of my intake for the week so it is sometimes hard to keep up to that 1800 to 2000 mark. The food intake has not changed that much from before I started most of the calorie drop has been no or a lot less chips, ice cream, beer or mixed drinks most of the time . But I soon realized that it is hard to just quick the chips cold turkey so some of the bad habits still happen but to a lot smaller degree. Maybe someday a will not need them or pizza anymore.

Thanks I look forward to that day!!
