Helllloo fitness fam!! I'm going to kick-start your week by sharing some apps that I use to help me with my health and fitness. There are so many different apps you can use to help you with your fitness, whether it's counting your calories, finding healthy recipes, or recording your exercises. Incorporating some health apps into your daily lives will help you make your fitness journey so much easier!! I don't even remember what I did before I started using the apps I am about to share with you. The first app I am going to share with you is called MyFitnessPal This app is sponsored by Under Armour, and it offers such great things....for FREE! On this app, you are able to create your own account in which you share your current weight, and what your target weight is. It will ask you a bunch of questions to see what your daily fitness life is like. It'll ask you how active you are on a daily basis, when you want to lose the weight by, and what your diet is like. After all the questions are asked, the app will tell you how much you need to loose each week in order to reach your target weight, as well as how many calories you can eat each day. It's pretty amazing. On this app, you will find a section called "Diary". In this, you are able to count your calories each day. This app makes it so simple for you to do that. It breaks down each meal into breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and dessert. There is also a section for water, and for exercise as well. After each meal is eaten, all you have to do is click on "Add Food", and you can search the exact food you ate! For example, say I hate an egg for breakfast, and a slice of toast. All I would need to do is type in "egg" in the search bar, and click on the option after the search is up. After each food is clicked on, it will show you how many calories you have eaten total, and how many you have left remaining for the day. Another cool option is to enter the type of exercise you did that day. There are so many options that show you how many calories you burned. All you have to do is click on the type of activity or exercise you did, and for how many minutes. The app will tell you how many calories you burned, and deduct it from your total calories of the day. So say I ran on the treadmill for 15 minutes at 6mph.... I would click on the first option, then type in 15 under "minutes performed". Then, it would show you that I burned 145 calories from this exercise. At the top where it says "calories remaining", 145 is listed on top of exercise. This shows that I burned 145 calories from running, and now I have even more calories remaining for that day.
These are just a few features I love about this app. I definitely recommend downloading this app to help you along your fitness journey and to see results better! It only takes a few seconds out of your day to type in what you ate for each meal and what your exercises were, and this app makes it even easier to do these things! The next app I want to share with you all is called Fooducate. I can say that this app has honestly saved my life. I use it almost every single day. This app offers many different features as well, but I only use one of the features. This app is also a calorie counter, but I use myfitnesspal to count my calories. You may use whichever you'd like...they both do the same thing!!! The feature that I use on this app is called "Food Finder". This feature is A M A Z I N G. What this feature does search for different foods you eat on a daily basis, and give you a grade on the food based on the nutritional facts. What's even cooler is you can scan bar codes on food items!!! If you ever see me in the grocery store, you might think I'm crazy because all I do is pick up food, scan it, and either place it in my cart or put it back on the shelf. This app amazes me. By scanning the barcode or searching the specific food, this app also offers a whole section on nutrition where you can see all the nutritional facts. It also offers a whole section on alternatives, where you can see other foods that are similar and may be better for you.
This app also offers other things like healthy recipes, diet tidbits, and ways you can get involved with you community! Both of these apps are amazing!!! I definitely recommend you download them and add them into your daily routine. They will only help you see results faster, and will make your fitness journey easier! I know they have made my life so much easier!
