Nutritionix Track 4+

I’ve seen and used many different wellness trackers during my time trying to meet a healthy weight. And all of these apps are great. They do there job and I have nothing to complain about. However, I never stick with any wellness apps because they are too good, and therefore, overly complicated. This is the pet where this app comes in. It’s dead simple to use which keeps me coming back to log my food intake. As long as you have a scale to weigh the food your eating, this simple app makes the chore of logging macros into kinda a game in a way. When I wake up I genuinely want to weigh my food and log it into the app because it’s very accurate, very thorough, and very effective. But finding all that in an app that is as simple as this one is hard to find. The app even automatically tally’s all of your calories for the day and differentiates the macros. This way in a matter of a second you can figure out if you met your goal. This app also integrates with restaurants so even if you have to eat out you can still log your calories for the food you order! All in all this app is effective, accurate, it’s fun to use and most importantly, its actually easy to understand and use!

As per the title, I've only used this app for a relatively short amount of time, but so far I'm loving it. The barcode scanner system they have makes things fun for me. When entering in my weight, there's a little graph that shows how high or low it goes over time so I submitted all the recordings I had previously written down and it's very fulfilling seeing my progress on the chart. I do have minor issues with teeny aspects of parts of information that you can submit, but I've found unique ways to get around it within the app.

If I were to suggest something that's not exactly necessary, I would suggest "stickers" for the calendar. Maybe enter in a cake or balloon emoji for a day as a visual guide that there was a birthday party I went to. Possibly a toggle to show it on the weight graph too above or below the dot markers as another fun little visualization. For individuals with menstrual cycles(like me), it would be comforting seeing that my weight loss wasn't as much as I would've preferred it be with the visualization of some type of emoji representing that too. Or a sickness emoji. My main point is other heath/event factors like those would likely improve the interface for visual individuals.

I have used a lot of trackers over the years and this one tops them all. Simple to use. Let’s you edit freely, copy frequently used foods from previous days, great food search database, ability to enter custom foods, recipes, so versatile. Let’s you enter your goals not only for weight, but for ratio of protein, fat and carbs, a feature I’ve been craving. Tracks these ratios, plus calories and exercise. Shows these in a usable format as you log throughout the day. Love that you can click on any section, lunch, snacks, and get individual recap of calories, ratios, etc. This let’s you analyze each meal or the whole day. I am just below pre-diabetic so my goal is to up my protein and lower my carb and sugar intake. What a surprise when you can track these and see what you are really eating! This is so motivating and makes me feel in control, giving me the tools I need to manage what I eat and to meet my goals of delicious, easy, healthy eating. I just did a web search for high protein, low carb snacks and found many things I actually like that I can’t wait to log to see how they improve my ratios. Thank you for this tracker!
