I was wondering if anyone uses an iPhone or other phone for that matter to tracker what they eat?
I have the MyNetDairy app but I don't think it is calculating the correct amount of nutrients within each food. I tried the LiveStrong app too but it does not show a break down of the nutrients.

MyFitnessPal is so far the best I've tried. Set it up online first. You can enter exactly the amount of calories you want and set your macros. For daily entering the iphone app is great because you always have it with you. Allows you to enter food in advance (set tomorrow's food the night before), which LoseIt didn't do and was inconvenient, especially when packing lunch for work the night before.

LoseIt works perfect for me on iPhone. Under settings you can specify what all you want displayed (macros, micros, etc.). As far as custom foods go, you can specify everything. Macros, micros (vitamins and etc.). Just have to "set" your settings accordingly. Also, LoseIt can "send" all data and logs to the website where you can view it in different ways. I was a Fitday user until I found this.

I'm using Diet Studio 2009 on Tablet PC throughout the day. I tried using similar app for iPhone, but was struggling to enter every meal correctly, IMHO iPhone's display is too small for tracking food - can't really see all nutrients on one screen. I'm now thinking to buy iPad, should be easier to use than Tablet PC. Does anyone know any good diet tracking app for iPad?

I'm surprised no ones mentioned sparkpeople. Set it up online first with your custom macros. Add custom food or a lot of it's defaults are from nutritiondata.com. Measurements by gram, oz, cup or whatever you want.
iPhone App and a full screen iPad app. Leave everything autologin and it's fast.
Edit: Ignore all the other crap and just use the calorie trackerLast edited by sparkleys; 04-27-2011 at 02:09 PM.

I use Lose It. Contrary to what someone said above, you can set macros (and other things like fiber, sugar, cholesterol, sodium, etc.) for custom foods. I find it easy to use, and the weekly averages are a nice feature as well. It also seems to have a large and accurate list of Restaurants/Supermarkets.

Ultimate Goal: 170 lbs (or <10% BF or 31 inch waist)
Plan: Modified P90X routine (Month 2 only) until End of August, then Insanity in Sept/Oct, then Modified P90X/Insanity routine in Nov/Dec. All while tracking my caloric deficit and aiming for a 7K deficit each week.

I've tried some of the more popular apps, but I just personally didn't like the interfaces for the iPhone. The tracker I used through most of my prep that provided a simple interface and quite an extensive list of foods already is CalorieCount by Fatsecret. It's also available for the iPad.
Of course you can add any food you want. Depending on the food, there's quite an extensive listing of serving sizes as well (ml, oz, g, pre-cooked, broiled in skin, baked w/o skin, etc.).U.S. Army Dietitian 2012-

I have a droid for sprint and i use a app called ''Myfitnesspal''. I like it alot, it has some cool features like a bar code scanner that uses ur camera to get exact nutrition facts instead of searching it and finding it yourself. set it up for your age/sex/height/weight ect. Its a pretty good one
haha didnt see the post right above mine already said it
