My Favorite Wellness App

Ok for today, I have to tell you about my favorite wellness app. It's MyFitnessPal. I track my calories, water intake, exercise, and record my measurements here as well. Here are my pros and cons:


Pros:
-I can scan barcodes and it enters the calories for me
-I can add my own recipes, so I scan the ingredients once, enter the number of servings and it calculates the calories per serving for me
-I can search for foods if I don't have the barcode
-I eat a lot of the same foods, and I can copy them from the day before, making it super easy to log
-It calculates the ESTIMATED calorie burn for me, if I know based off my HRM (heart rate monitor) I can edit it.
-There is a large network of people you can talk to, to encourage you as well
-There is a computer version if you hate apps
-It gives me tips and notes about when a food is especially good for me
-SO easy to use!!!!
-It will send reminders to log your meals if you program it.
-Gives you a daily calorie need based on how active your lifestyle is
-Encourages you when you're doing well!


Cons: 
-Sometimes I really just don't feel like entering the information
-Can become time consuming if I have to enter a ton of ingredients every time
-Calories burned is only an estimate
-I can easily forget to log sometimes
-Some people enter incorrect information
-I come to rely on it so much sometimes that I freak out a little when I can't find a food, like random foods I grab from random cafes. ;)

Now go add me so we can encourage each other!!! My name is aereiners
