You can get the SparkPeople Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker for Android here and for Apple devices here. I want to lose two stone by June 20th and this app has made me realise that it’s perfectly achievable. I’m determined not to exceed the calorie target for the day. It’s a great incentive to stay away from food that isn’t needed. Whereas before I was happily munching away all day on any old rubbish, this app is making me fully aware of what calories I am putting into my belly. I started using the app this week and it’s instantly changed my outlook. There are tips, articles, advice and videos – including exercise videos. You can also log any exercise and calories burned to get a running total of where you’re at on a particular day.īut there’s more! A sister app called Spark Recipes links in nicely with SparkPeople allowing you to put together meals that tie in with your plan.Īs if that wasn’t enough – and it is a lot – SparkPeople also have their Coaching Centre. You assign each piece of food and drink to a particular meal and track your intake. You type in the food you’ve eaten, and the app accesses the massive SparkPeople database to tell you how much eat portion has in calories, fat, carbohydrates and protein etc. Inputting the calories you eat is simple. In simple terms, SparkPeople helps you track the amount of calories you eat, the amount of calories you burn and assists you in building and following a plan to hit your target weight. She discovered an app called SparkPeople, which she has introduced me too. My wife, on the other hand, has been the very paragon of discipline with regard to a healthy diet and exercise. I’ve already given some excuses why I failed.

And if you already know how to use science to improve your weight and health the tools can be useful if you are patient with the poor functionality.My NY resolution to lose weight and be fit has crumbled spectacularly. And there is clearly no one on their staff with current web design skills sufficient to compete in today's web market.īut hey, it's free. And don't get me started on the buggy problems with the phone app! Sparkpeople is run by people with moderate scientific knowledge on weight loss- not experts by any analysis- but they are enthusiastic about their topic despite poor article writing, editing or soliciting skills. Then foods that had an indicator onscreen that they were "added" for the day are not on my food log at all when I refresh the page or access my log from the phone app. Then the list will finally populate but it disappears just as I am trying to choose what I ate from the list.

The list of foods won't populate when I am searching "recent" or "favorite" foods, and I have to enter and re-enter my search terms. There are big problems with the functionality of the website. I've been using due to the fact it was the first site I found that has a database of foods and nutrition information that I could use for calorie tracking, but there are other similar tools out there.
