Lose it.com vs MFP

Seems to be a bit higher calorie-wise for me over at Loseit.com I'm sticking with MFP
Is this because they base your calories on TDEE including planned exercise? MFP ignores your planned exercise, which is why it adds them back in for you to eat. either way it should get you to roughly the same place, as long as you burn near what your goal burn is.
MFP ignores planned excercise? How come it asks me un my fitnes goals how many times i plan to work out?
I am new to MFP as well. I have tried lots of calorie counting sites. Had lots of sucess with my daily plate before they changed it all up, then tried lose it, now MFP. It does seem like you can eat lots more with lose it, but I'm not sure why. I do not belive it is because they are incorporating exercise already, becuase when you input your activity it adds it back to what you eat as well.0 -
Lose it tells you when you're going to lose the weight by, provided you follow the projected calorie intake and exercise appropriately.0

I have the loseit app, but I quit using it after a week.0

I've been using loseit for a year now. I was/am very attached to it.
I just joined MFP this week and I love it here...trying very hard to abandon Losit, but the food counter on this site is different, and it tells me that I'm going to weight more than what I weigh now in 5 weeks from now....I don't get it.
So I might continue using losit for my food tracking, but use MFP for tips, tricks, motivation.0 -
I like loseit report better.0

I used LoseIt before I found MFP. I used both for a while but I have since left LoseIt. I like MFP so much better the food data base is so much better here and I like the set up better.0

Yeah...I've been checking it out too...just stumbled across it tonight and then googled it and found this message board. It looks pretty good to the eye...from first glance and looking at the screen shap shots...it seems to look more user friendly and something that is right there on your phone. The MFP app is basically a link to the actual webpage. However, the biggest thing I saw with loseit! is, did you notice how much it weighs? It will take up 14M of space on your phone...my phone doesn't even have that much space to try it out...which is probably a good thing because I would also feel like I'm cheating on MFP...lol0

The comment about the ap is phone dependent then. The iphone ap is a true ap, it doesn't just take you to a web page.0 -
lose it has me set at 1545 calories per day and MFP has me set up for 1200 calories per day. I am still using both trying to figure out which one I like best but I am really shocked at the difference in calorie per day from each... so far I did lose it for a week and did not lose 1 lb but I didn't gain either....0

I just did a test run with Lose It. They do add in exercise, and their numbers are overstated just the same as MFP. To lose .5 pounds a week, there is only a 20 calorie difference (MFP is higher).
Also, I notice they have a free version, but other plans are paid.
I like MFP because they treat me real nice. :bigsmile:0 -
i like loseit for adding the food because for me its easier to log but i do like community here way more.0
-
I started out on lose it but I would have to log into MFP to find my food items so I switched to MFP and haven't looked back. I love the forum here.0
