I'm switching to Lose It because My Fitness Pal wants to make us pay to scan barcodes now. NO THANKS :)!

I'm here looking for an alternative for the same reason. Gotta love myfitnesspal purposefully making an app less functional to shill for the paid version of the app that is just what you used to get for free. Good luck!

Yup, started trail period yesterday. I will likely enroll in Premium account to enable integration w/ my Garmin watch. Very helpful review. Thx …

Thanks for the video. Getting started on premium with the January special.

Very comprehensive and well delivered review. Thanks bro. I will also check your review for My Fitness Pal.

Yes, I'm going to try it. Thanks for this review.

Thanks for the review

Hi Kevin, thanks for the review and tutorial, I found it very useful. Like all apps, once you understand how to navigate between the different screens it is quite intuitive. Your tutorial did this very effectively. Thanks again cj

Thanks, Colin! Hope all is going well!

I’m going to try this thank you

Been using mfp since around 2013-14 but recently switched to Lose It which imo is better overall. Nice UI, syncs well with iPhone apps, super fast scanner. Not much room to complain.

Great tutorial! Thnx

Just started today very helpful

GREAT information..thank you

Thank u so much for this video! I got the app

I just downloaded and really like it for now

Awesome review and video - but, how do you track things you add to your foods? For example, for your oatmeal you selected, what if you add say brown sugar, butter, etc.? What about adding salt and pepper to the egg? Dressing on a salad? Especially if you get the salad at a restaurant? I've always struggled with this part of "counting" the calories - and sadly, they are the parts that always add the hidden calories that keep me from being in a deficit. Appreciate any thoughts or input. I know this is an older post... hope to find an answer to this one. Thanks!

I tried both (MFP) and I prefer LOSE IT as well!

Nice job

The best. Lost 65 pounds on Lose It

I am not accessing the "more" feature to add my lose it scale even though I am a premium user. Help please

Quick question, I just signed up for premium Lose it two days ago and am trying to figure out the calorie burn bonus.. do I need to continue to add my workouts in? It looks like there is an option to include the workout stats in the calorie burn bonus or to keep it separate. If I keep it separate, it lowers my total calorie intake but if I include it, it adds the calories back to my total calories for the day. I have my apple watch connected to the app so it is able to track through there. Please let me know, thank you!

I was looking for a recipe maker tutorial

Compared to MyFitnessPal I found it more difficult to do simple things. Ex. How to set daily caloric intake by % (30/40/30) And once I set my grams for protein I couldn't change it..

Great assistance which certification do you have Kevin

I am missing connection with adidas/Runtastic and/or Polar apps. In my case this would be the trigger for paying in Lose it! Until then I am using the free features, ready to leave it if I find a feature rich calorie counter connected to the mentioned fitness apps.

i dont get it, if the higher the "calories under budget" number the better right?

Not that great unfortunately.. But with a few changes and upgrades, it could be a great app! I think it's a bit hard to use. And when I add my own foods, the nutrition values can change when I edit how much I have used in the food. It's also an overly complicated process to edit "my foods", delete foods etc. When you edit one food, it will double up and you will have two of the same foods under "my foods", so you have to manually delete it yourself (especially irritating if you put in a wrong number, and have to do all that again). I think they could have made the app much easier and faster to use. Also I miss an option for meal prepping, for example you put in all the food you have used, example 2kg fish, 500g rice and 2kg greens, and that you are making 6 portions, then the app would calculate each individual meal so you could track it easily. Now you have to do this on your own. Not that much that would have to change for it to be a great app though. Hope for some updates soon :-)

with the free version, is there a way to see a total for all of your meals for the day?

It’s 2023. On lose it it doesn’t show 5 daily tasks, is this to be expected?

My 1st time using it and I added foods to what was already there. How do I remove foods?

Ugh I was planning on switching to this but hate I have to pay to sync my Fitbit. Anyone know of an app where you can sync fitbit AND scan labels.

How do we watch excercise videos on the app

Are there net carbs in the app

What is that second bar code scanner for? When you were scanning your food, there's another scanner on the lower right .

How much do you know how many calories to burn

Loose it now has an intermittent fasting function. It is still in its early stages and really needs more auto Dash integration

Hey Kevin, Thanks for your very informative video. I started using this app a few days ago and its connected to my Apple Watch. My calories burnt during exercise records just fine but i always have to manually select the workout and exclude from total. Is it already automatically calculate and is excluding it from total manually recording the same exercise twice?

You didnt cover creating recipes and updating them.

You can also develop and share recipes, as well as editing incorrect nutritional info on any item. And you can duplicate common meals you've had before with a tap.

Awesome! Thanks, Margaret!

I've been using it for a few days, and originally it said I'll reach my goal by October 29th, and since then it's gone up to October 31st, though I've been slightly over my calories once, and under by at least 100 all the other days. I'm worried that it's recommending the wrong amount and I'm not going to make any progress by eating less, healthier, and walking every day.

Just wush they have trackibg of strength training on this app. Would've been awesome.

Hi Kevin. Question. What is the difference between the over budget icon that is yellow in color containing 3 dots and the over budget icon that is red in color with the up arrow? Is it the amount of over budget that determines which icon is used?

Great Presentation Kev - Thank You...May I ask a question here? I have been on a diet (CarbEssentials-Dr. Powell) for over 4 months and have lost 30 Lbs My goal is to lose another 20 Lbs. I have been tracking my weight daily, my foods with nutritional values, recipes, and my exercise MANUALLY!. Question: Does this app allow me to enter that historical data (back to Nov 2022) that I have documented. It is important because it contains the eating and exercise data that works for me and I would like to record it.

It will still show your eaten calories for the day and your goal for the day on the left so you can keep up with it. On the far right it does add exercise to your available calories a day tho, so usually end with +700-1000 calories left
