If you take a look at the iTunes store, you will see thousands of fitness apps. There is no way I can test each one, but I have done some research and used several. There are three apps that I use daily for diet, exercise and nutrition.
Diet
LoseIt – This app is the most complete and streamlined weight loss application for the iPhone. Here are a few features:
- Set goals and establish a daily calorie budget
- Stay on track each day by recording your food and exercise
- Enter food and exercise easily using a searchable database
- Join together with friends for additional support and motivation
- Monitor your progress with detailed reports and metrics
LoseIt is 100% free! Not only do you get the iPhone app, but you also get access to the website that has amazing people participating in forums. One quick read through the forum and you will see that many people are losing weight with this app.
Nutrition
Restaurants – This free app is instrumental in eating the right foods when dining out. It has a database of nutrition facts for chain restaurants. When dining out, I consult with this app to see how many calories certain menu items have. This helps me stay on track!
Exercise
DailyBurn – This free app works in conjuction with their web site. You can establish a workout plan and it will be loaded into the iPhone app. Take your iPhone to the gym and you have your workout in your hand. Plus it tracks your workout!
I would really like to find a Pedometer app that works well. If you know of one, please leave a comment!
What fitness apps do you use? Are they worth the price?
