I'm looking for new apps. Does anyone have any favorite apps that would be handy for weight loss, other than MFP? Any kind of helpful app will do!

I really like Fooducate. You can scan the barcode of a particular food item and it pops up all kinds of indepth nutritional info. It's pretty cool and totally free!

Thanks!

    the 40:30:30 app is kinda good. it basically tells you the best percentages of your daily intakes and at what meals they are best at. i dont have an andiod phone any more but i did find it useful and it did help. some people like it some dont.

    I use Lose It! to track my calories and exercise and just use MFP more for the social aspect. I really like Lose It! so much more! Plus it also gives you a daily and weekly percentage of your macros! :)

    For exercise, I use Map My Walk and Zombies, Run for the iPhone. Map My Walk is free, but Zombies, Run is an $8 app ... but totally worth it. With the Zombies, Run, you listen to a story during your walk/run. If you have zombie chases turned on, at a random point you have to speed up to prevent the zombies from catching you. You also collect supplies. Very entertaining -- I walked over 16 miles last week just because the story was so interesting! LOL!

    I use Endomondo to track workouts and Target Weight to track my daily weigh ins (I only log on MFP once a week). I also like Fooducate, Fat2Fit, and 100 Pushups.

    I like Fooducate and Noom! Noom is a weight loss app that t4racks my workouts and reminds me when it is time to workout. It has medals for your workout so It motivates me to make sure I am always working for the gold medal.

    Just downloaded Fooducate. Thanks for letting us know about it. I checked all the food in my desk and it was all pretty good .. except for the dark chocolate (d+). Oh well. Luckily I only indulge during an emergency! LOL!

    Now that sounds like a lot of fun!!! I might have to cough up $8 for an app like that!
