MyFitnessPal
I want to understand what I'm actually eating and whether it lines up with my health goals.
MyFitnessPal is a calorie and macro tracking app. Log meals by scanning barcodes or searching the database, and it tracks intake against your personalised nutrition targets.
Why it rocks
- ✓Includes Spanish supermarket brands in the food database. Mercadona, Lidl, Carrefour, it's all in there.
- ✓The tool most nutritionists and trainers point people to when starting to take diet seriously.
- ✓Tracks protein, carbs, fat, fibre, and micronutrients in one place.
Heads up
- ✗Some people find logging every meal tedious after two weeks. It tends to teach you enough that you stop needing it. That is fine.
- ✗The free tier lost features in a 2023 update. The full product now requires a subscription.
Cost: Free (limited). Premium from approximately €10/month.
