the diary is pretty good, on my phone app, i can scan the food in which is cool. Also, so many informative posts about nutrition, I have learned so much in 4 weeks.
Good luck and welcome to mfp!0 -
Yes, the phone app is the best one I've found!0

what phone or app do you guys have? my app sucks lol0

I am just getting back into shape, but when I was working out hard 10 years ago I had the best luck eating several (5-6) small meals a day. This kept me from feeling hungry and grabing snack foods. I am trying to get back to this way of eating.0

Thank you guys!!! I am looking at examples of what you all eat and it has given me some pretty good ideas. Where can I find Wasa crackers? my co-worker is also on weight loss journey....she is seeing a nutritionist but i have encouraged her to join this site.
as far as apps go, i just downloaded the one for blackberry and it blows!!! i need an iphone desperately!!!
do you guys have some good ideas for snacks? i love fruits so that is easy, but a friend of mine recommended i have some protein with whatever fruit i have so the body breaks it down better. hummus? i hear a lot about laughing cow cheese, i love cheese so i should try those!
thanks for all the tips0 -
Hi everyone, I joined about 1 1/2 weeks ago and I think this the best weight lose program ever. I love the tools, (bought the Fitbit) and the app for my Itouch. Feeling so much better than I did 2 weeks ago. Love, love, love that I don't have to starve myself anymore. My first goal is to loose 25lbs, down 3.5 lbs so far. When I reach that goal I'll decide the next goal.0

Peanut butter or cheese is a great protein source..:)0

Welcome friend! Always glad to see a new person take the plunge with us!0

Hi and welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend!
To answer your snack question, I use GoGo Squeeze applesauce (only 60 calories per pouch and perfect for when I'm driving or in a hurry) and laughing cow cheeses (yes, they're awesome) with joan of arc mini toasts (which are only 80 calories per 8 crackers I think...perfect for one laughing cow wedge).
Good luck!0 -

You can scan food into your phone app? How?0

Almonds! Raw or roasted w/o salt. A small handful (1/4 cup or about 22 nuts) is roughly 150 calories of healthy fats, high protein and fiber. Considered to be a cholesterol lowering food, too. I buy them in big bags from Costco and roast them myself. It only takes about 10 minutes on a cookie sheet in the oven.
Roast up a bunch, let them cool and then count out servings of 22. Put the servings in those half-size zip lock bags and presto, you have travel size snacks to take to work or anywhere you go.0 -

Welcome! Feel free to add me. I have an open diary
I like Dannon Oikos Non fat Greek Yogurt (with or without the berries)....lots of protein too. I also add Golden Roasted Flax Seeds...adds a nutty flavor that I love.0 -
Beef jerky is a great source of protein. Especially the homemade dehydrated stuff. I make it and that way add no salt or sugar. It keeps well and is great for on the go times. I pack some for geocaching and hiking. Kellog's all bran bars I like also. They are only a 130 cal snack and taste great!0

Welcome! I'm fairly new as well and I am already in love with this site/app. Feel free to add me, and good luck on your journey! :-)0

You can scan food into your phone app? How?
If you have the iPhone or the iPad app (and perhaps others), on the "add food" screen there is a blue button just next to the search window that has a white horizontal line and a bunch of vertical lines. Tap that and the app turns on your camera. Simply line up the UPC bar code within the box and there you go.0
