1. Fooducate

Scan a bar code and it will give you a score based on calories, amount of sugar and the technique they used to process the food. This is an app that will help beginners figure out what they can eat.
2. Lose It!
Helps you track the food you eat, connect with friends to motivate you and is personal. This app will customize a weight loss plan just for you.
This is one of the best features because you don’t want a generic plan that anyone can use. Your body is different. Your weight loss plan should be unique to you. This app will help with that.

3. My Fitness Pal
This app has the largest food database, so when you record your food intake it will automatically bring up all the information. You won’t have to enter in calories, fat and other pertinent information when you are recording your food. This makes the app quicker than most, plus it is free. The app remembers your favorite foods and you can add multiple items at once. Plus if you cook a lot it has a recipe importer.
As you can see you can find an app for anything. Find a health app that works for you and start using it regularly. Some have a trial version and a premium version – so be careful what you sign up for if you don’t want a monthly cost.
Apps help you to stay on track with your goals. Look at all of the pros and cons and decide which one is best based on your needs. Consider cost because you don’t want to eliminate an option because of the monthly fee especially if it could actually save you money in the long run.
