Awesome App

Version: 2.0.3
I love that this connects directly to the website and can print PDF food logs to send to my trainer! The list of food is fantastic! Most other programs are so limited. The only concern I have is that the time of day sometimes is a little buggy and doesn't change when you update and when you go into the website, it often remains as time unclassified. Otherwise, the best app I have downloaded yet!

Best app out there, but could still add a few features

Livestrong has helped me lose over 10 lbs in the past few weeks and I am almost at my ideal weight. I love the very deep food database. Calorie counting has been a cinch. It would be nice if I knew what kind of Carbs, Fats, Proteins, etc... I should be aiming for. I know calories are a major indicator, but all these other things play into it as well. Also, it would be nice if I could customize the weight page so that I can see more than a week or so of progress. It only seems to show that last 10 days.
Bugs: Sometimes after I've selected an item and am selecting the servings I have eaten for that item, it doesn't keep it. For instance, if I say I ate 2 apples, it might only show 1. I have to go back and forth a few times before it keeps the # 2.
Overall, a great app.

Comprehensive and flexible!

This application together with the livestrong website offer a comprehensive way to monitor your daily food intake, whether you're trying to keep an eye on calories, sugar, fat, etc. The flexible setup allows you to set your own individual targets and the ever-growing food library contains plenty UK products and brands to ensure you can accurately log what you have eaten throughout the day. Money well spent!

This app is so convienient and easy to use! I would recommend it to any of my clients to keep them honest. I always tell my clients "write it down!" so that they stay accountable to themselves and their goals. I have been using this app now for about 3 weeks and I feel lost without it. The equivalents in the system are easy to find and very close to what you're looking for. My only complaint is that it is sometimes slow to react to your touch and doesn't always give all search results for what you are looking for. Other than that this app is awesome and as a certified fitness professional I highly recommend it!!

Terrific App  
By: BST622 - Aug 16, 2009
Version: 2.0.3
I gained a 12 pounds this spring. I was so busy I lost track of what I was eating and how little I was exercising. I began using the app and lost the 12 pounds in about three months (this summer). It is a great way to safely lose weight. It makes you aware of calorie output/ input and gives you choices in terms of whether you want to eat or exercise. If you want the extra brownie, you must work it off! I find the link to the website useful also. Both offer visual information that tracks your weight, which is fun to see. I recommend it to anyone who needs to lose weight or as I did, to lose the few pounds that creeps up on you during stressful times. I read the other reviews and sometimes it does stall, but it always comes back. One person was upset with inaccurate calories on the database? Just look it up online and log in the amount you want. The app is quite flexible.

Livestrong works!!!

I've downloaded hundreds of apps and when I say this I mean it!! This app will help you lose the weight... But you have to stick to it!! This review is not about how wll the app works but how well it works for you(diet). I have lost over 50lbs in 6 months just by counting calories! It's all about the numbers... This app is worth all I have paid for my iPhone and more. This app has a larger database than any other weight loss app out there... and by chance you food isn't in here you can break it down and make your meal but like I said it's about the calories just find something close and enter that! THIS APP WORKS!!! While exercise helps it coined down to how much you put in you mouth... It don't matter what as long as you stay under you calorie daily goal... Granted exercise helps but IMO it's not as necessary as the calorie intake

Awesome food tracker  
By: Cocoleann - Oct 8, 2009

I am on the weight watchers diet and I use this app constantly to figure out nutritinal values of my portions. It's much better than having to carry around the ww books because they're irritating and they don't have nearly as many choices as this app does. There are two things I would like to see added to this app. One Is when you choose a different portion I would like to see the nutrtional facts change for that portion instead of just the calories. And two is it'd be nice for a place on the app to have some inspirational tips and maybe different meal ideas for people who are ready to fall off the diet wagon. Something to kind of keep them pumped. Thanks,Courtney

Awesome tool for weight control  
By: mary_moon - Nov 20, 2009
Version: 2.0.4
My nutritionist recommended that I use thedailyplate.com to keep track of my dietary intake. I was hesitant at first because I'm always on the go and rarely near a computer during the day to log meals. Then I found this app!This app is such a great tool for busy people and I have yet to experience a problem with its function. It synchs correctly and is a breeze to use anywhere I can get wifi or cell reception. The food library is vast - nit once have I not been able to find a food already in the database. There are many food tracking apps out there but only this one links to thedailyplate.com and allows you and your nutritionist to analyze the data from all angles.

I find this app extremely helpful in my daily commitment to a healthy life! Keeping record of food I've eaten. The caloric, fiber,and fat values are great tools in learning howto eat for health. The tools have helped me to recognize eating habits I need to change ant allowing me to keep record of my activities and the calories I've burned also helps me keep track of my true caloric daily utilization The weight tracker helps me to be honest and I love that it gives me the percent body fat so I have an accurate scale to compare my weight with national standards.

Very useful in tracking  
By: Vijay chad - Aug 31, 2009

I was once more than 210 pounds and doctor advised me to reduce my weight in 4 months. I started walking and dieting but there was very little improvement. I did not know where I was going wrong and then understood that I not keeping a track of food I consuming. Even though I was thinking that I was dieting some foods which I was eating had more colories which I did not know. Then I thought of buying an app that will help me track what i eating. After I searched without any jesitationi bought this app from iTunes. I was able to keep track of each and every food and I was able to control my daily intake. Now after 3 months I have lost 27 pounds. I would recommend this for everyone who wants to track their food. It has almost every food in their database. Very useful application.

My weightloss is on track

I love this application. Not only can I research the calories for the meals I'm considering , but I can know instantly how many calories I have left. I track my weight and body measurements online at Livestong.com. It's wonderful because now I keep track of how much salt, fat, water, fiber and cholesterol I consume and that gives me a good break down on how what combinations of food produce consistent weightloss for me. Use this app and take advantage of Lance Armstrong's Live Strong web site and the Daily Plate section.

Great App!!

I've been playing with this app all day and I really like it. I had a little trouble with the food search but it corrected when synced to iTunes. I also checked out the full website which is also free. It has great info and motivational tools. I wish there was a way to add a menu item but I imagine they will get to that. All in all it is a great menu and exercise tracker and you can't beat the price. FREE!!!

Great app - definitely recommend  
By: iSweeney - Aug 17, 2009
Version: 2.0.3
I have used the website daily for almost a year. The app is a bit limited but is absolutely great!! I wish it summarized all your totals for the day (like fat count) and not just calories, like the website. Also it would be nice if you could copy multiple entries from previous days. So it's not an A+ but still an A. People would lose much more weight (and keep it off) if they realized that it truthfully comes down to two choices: limit the calories you eat (this app is great for that) or exercise more. Simple as that.

Best calorie tracker program out there, hands down  
By: app001 - Nov 16, 2008
Version: 1.0
I have tried 6 - 7 different iPhone apps in this category and even tweaked how to use them to make them less time consuming and frustrating and more helpful. Then I downloaded Livestrong. It is by far the best app I have tried in this category, why?
First - it's database of food in incredible. Not only is it large, it also responds with what you typically eat, it is very easy to find and to edit portions. It not only stores calories but also all the other details about the food.
Every time you have searched something, that pops up at the top the next time you plug in food, and you don't have to write "orange juice" the second time, "orang" is enough. This is a huge difference to other apps as most of us do eat similar things for breakfast for instance and there is no need to search from scratch every day.
Other apps databases also responds with hundreds of crazy versions of food you'll never eat, somehow, Livestrong responds with typical foods we eat.
The database for sports activities is equally superior. Plug in "cycling" and it will come up with both stationary cycling and outdoor and it will suggest different activity levels making it very easy to quickly populate with the activity you actually did.
The other thing is that it syncs perfectly with the web and you can track every possible detail on your web account.
It also tracks weight and have a very cool looking graph displaying your progress (positive or negative...)
Every day I am amazed how good this app is compared to the others I tried.
So what about improvements - sure - it hangs / crashes every once in 6 - 7 launches. Not good, but certainly only a few seconds from re-launching and you are on your way again.
Detail - it would be nice if it populated "Period" field automatically based on the time, so from 6AM to 10AM it should auto populate with "breakfast" for instance.
All in all a great product and it has helped me choose better foods, work out more, and so far loose 11 pounds in just a month without going on any special diet, just watching more what I eat.
Thanks Livestrong.com for this excellent app. It is one main reason for paying $100 plus a month for the iPhone.

The best

I started using this app eight weeks ago. When I began I programed in that I wanted to loose two pounds a week. So eights weeks later I have lost 16 pounds! This app has turned exercise, and calory counting into a game for me. I have two friends that have each lost 40 pounds using this app. I tell everyone about how easy it is to use. Last week I was at my cardiologist for my six month check up. He was amazed at how I was doing with both weight loss and exercise. I showed him how I was doing it and gave him the full app demonstration. He was impressed. Since using this app I have learned a lot about food. I have eaten what I wanted, learned about portion size and I feel like a winner. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

I am using this app for bodybuilding, not weight loss. The app is not geared towards my needs, however it is a fantastic calorie counter. The app syncs with your online account and allows you to see additional information on the site, such as a pi chart of my macro % breakdown. The most important thing to account for in this app is the fantastic service you are getting at no cost (free fits my budget).

Perfect!

I've been a user of The Daily Plate and I was so excited to see this application appear on the app store. It has not disappointed me at all. I logged in with it, did quick sync and all my logged information was there. I added some exercise and a weight---worked flawlessly! Thank you so much. This is great website for logging food and calories (almost every food I want to add is already there!) and now it's even better with this iPhone application.

Get It While It's Free  
By: UmenoHana - Dec 18, 2008
Version: 1.0.2
With the new updates fixing the glitches, I'm guessing the program won't be free much longer. It has the largest food database available (allowing users to input their own food through the site) and each food is steadily being verified by The Daily Plate. It's easy to use and convenient, of course. It now shows me fiber content and protein. I can think of only three possible improvements: just show the total number of calories consumed on the main screen, not just the goal number or how far you go over (busy frazzled people sometimes don't have time/brains to do thealbeit simple math of daily intake plus how much over theve gone); allow for multiple users on the opening screen (for those who can afford just one iPhone; list all foods by gram/weight not measurement--food scales are easier, more accurate, and require less clean up--but I'm sure The Daily Plate is taking care of this as they go through verifying the biilions of foods entered by users.

Love it!!!

This is a really awesome app! Almost any food you are looking for is in the database, including Trader Joes brands! The only problem I have is that sometimes the portion size goes back to 1.0 when you save it... but you can edit it later after you have already saved it. Otherwise this is great! Makes you really think about everything you put in your mouth. And makes you want to exercise to make room for more calories!
