So I’ve noticed that a lot of individuals are really pursing fitness these days and really trying to make a habit of it (GREAT JOB WORLD!). Aside from that, I’ve noticed that many people are still using the old fashion pen and paper to track their macros or calories for a lack of a better concept. I’m here to save you a little bit of time along your fitness journey by promoting an application that I like to use on a day-to-day basis in order to keep track of every piece of food/liquid calorie I eat/drink. The application I’m referring to is called “MyFitnessPal.” The following application has taken fitness to a whole new level by putting the convenience of tracking what you eat at the palm of your hand (if you have a smart phone that is). The first thing you’ll notice when you download the application is that you have to add in all of your data such as age, weight, name, etc… After that’s done you’ll create a profile for yourself (now I know what you’re thinking “GREAT, another social media site I’ll have to keep up with”), but it’s not like that! You can be socially active on the following application, but you obviously don’t have to be. I strictly use the application just to keep track of my macros…those being (carbs, fats, and proteins) that I’ve spoke upon in previous blogs. The application also allow you to scan bar code labels, but most of the foods you’ll find are already in the application from previous members using the app. Another cool feature about MyFitnessPal is that it allows you to keep track of your total calories, it sets a goal of how many calories you’ll need to consume in order to reach a following goal of your choice such as “lose one pound a week, gain 5lbs in a month, etc…” I strongly urge you to try it and comment below to let me know what you think!
