Smartphone Apps That Will Help With Your Weight Loss Goals

Our society has started carrying our smartphones everywhere with us. Even going so far as to feel “naked” when we don’t have it with us. Well use that to your advantage when working towards a healthy lifestyle and getting fit.

There are apps that will help you pick exercise routines, know what your heartbeat is, count your steps, find healthier food options, track your calories and record all of your information – like weight.

This can help you get more active and know what is working and what isn’t. Most are easy to use and they are always with you, so you don’t lose them.

Some Great Healthy Fitness Apps

Here are 3 apps you might want to consider downloading and using on your smartphone:

Fooducate

Just getting started with your healthy eating and you’re not sure what you can have? Fooducate helps you figure it out quickly.

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.

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.

Answer a few questions and you are ready to use the app. It will help you lose weight and maintain it once you get to the weight loss goal you want.

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.

My Fitness Pal remembers your favorite foods and you can add multiple items at once. Plus if you cook a lot it has a recipe importer.

Fitbit App

This is a bit of a different app as it is linked to the Fitbit wearable monitor. Even though the app is free the monitor is going to cost you at least $100.

There are many Fitbit products, the one that I use is the Fitbit Charge HR

The great thing about the app is that you can challenge people to see who can do the most steps in a day which makes that walking a little more competitive and less lonely

Of course there are also lots of other features like 24 hr per day heart rate monitoring, counting the number of floors you climb, how much you sleep and how good it is, as well as even syncing your calories and exercise with My Fitness Pal

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.
