The food log on the Fitbit app isn’t as good as the one you’ll find on MyFitnessPal. The attraction of MyFitnessPal is the user friendly app, the large database of foods and excellent barcode scanner. In October last year it was sold to private equity firm San Francisco. MyFitnessPal was acquired by the athletic apparel maker Under Armour for a cool $475 million in February 2015. The software works with many fitness trackers and smartwatches including those from Fitbit and Garmin. The company says it has over eleven million foods in its database. Use this to add foods or the good old manual option. The app has some nifty functionality which comes in the form of a barcode scanner. This combination allоws its 100+ million users to figure out their ideal calorie intake each and every day. An alternative solution you might want to try out is using Fitbit in combination with MyFitnessPal.įounded some 15 yeаrs ago, MyFitnessPal is a smartphone app and website that tracks both diet and exercise. Fitbit might be great at many things, but food tracking is not one of them.
