Top 4 iPhone Apps for Tracking Calories and Exercise


It’s a pretty well-known fact by now that counting calories is probably the most systematic and effective way for most people to lose weight. However, for those who are constantly busy and on-the-go, using a computer to track calories online or writing down what they have eaten in a book and manually calculating calories may not be possible.

No worries though; you have the option of downloading useful iPhone apps for tracking calories using your smartphone. Finding something that you’ll be able to update easily at any time increases the chances that you’ll actually use it.

IPhone Apps for Tracking Calories and Exercise

IPhone Apps for Tracking Calories1) Lose It! – This app doesn’t just let you key in what you’ve eaten so you know how many calories you’ve eaten, it also lets you track your exercise as well. You can also scan the barcodes of most foods to instantly pull information regarding that food item from a massive online database, helping to save you time. This app is available for the iPhone and Android.

2) My Fitness Pal – This nutrition and fitness app will help you set a proper weight loss goal, and then let you track the calories you eat so that you will not overeat. You can also track your exercise using this app. There’s an online version of My Fitness Pal available too, so you can also opt to key in your calories there if you want to. A great tool to have when on a diet, and it is available for Apple and Android.

3) Calorie Tracker by Livestrong – The Livestrong brand is one of the top names in weight loss, fitness, and nutrition, so it’s not a surprise that they have an app to complement their online calorie tracker. However, the app itself is not free, costing $2.99 to purchase. Nevertheless, if you love all things Livestrong, then it is certainly worth it to purchase this calorie-tracking app, which is available for Apple, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile.

4) CountEat. Calories – This app costs 99 cents and is slightly different than the other three apps above in that it allows you to estimate the calorie count of your entire meal, rather than count exactly the number of calories for each item you’ve eaten. This can save you some time, especially if you are busy. However, this app does not help you track exercise.

There are other apps as well that can help you in your weight loss journey, either by helping you track your calories or improve your knowledge of nutrition and fitness. Keep these iPhone apps for tracking calories and then just browse around and see which ones suit your needs the best.

Beyonce Weight Loss



I have been noticing a lot of magazine covers this week talking about Beyonce and her weight loss after having a baby. Sure Beyonce is a huge pop star so I thought I would look into it and see how she was able to get backin shape again so quickly.

According to eonline she lost her weight the old fashioned way.

Meanwhile, as for her enviable physique, Beyoncé admitted to gaining about 50 pounds during her pregnancy, but says she’s now, nearly four months after Blue’s arrival, just “three to four pounds” away from her prebaby weight. And there’s no secret as to how—just good old-fashioned hard work.

“I lost most of my weight from breast-feeding and I encourage women to do it; It’s just so good for the baby and good for yourself,” she said, noting that she breast-fed Blue for 10 weeks.

From there, she went the old-fashioned route, counting calories and working out “three to four times a week.” That, and “staying away from anything delicious.”

But as we all know in the past Beyonce has gone for a lot of different types of weight loss. People Magazine on their cover this month called Beyonce “The Most Beautiful Woman on the World” and that is a lot to live up to.

I know that also back just a few years ago Beyonce was a big proponent and supporter of the Master Cleanse, or Lemonade Diet which is a 10-14 day plan where you just drink a maple syrup, lemon, cayenne pepper and water mixture.

Besides the regular diet that she has done over the last little while she also is a very determined fitness fanatic and will spend a lot of time working out to keep that great Beyonce body. She runs up to 6 miles several times a week and does boxing workouts which provide an intensive cardio workout and endurance training, which help her to be able to perform well on tour. Beyonce does full body workouts at the gym, using weights to exercise her shoulders and biceps, bodyweight training, such as push ups, sit ups, squats and lunges to work her legs, core and chest.
