Two of my fellow book blogger friends you My Fitness Pal so I decided
to make the switch from Lose It! I’ve used Lose It! a couple times in
the past and liked it, but after a week of using My Fitness Pal I think I
like it a bit more. The food database seems to be bigger so I have yet
to enter my own foods. It’s also easy to use.
My one complaint is that the calories for exercising seem a little
off to me, as there is no choice for light, moderate, heavy in the
cardio. My Fitness Pal calculates my calories burned on the elliptical
at 500 for 30 minutes, but the machine, Lose It! and an online
calculator have the values calculated between 300-350 which is more in
range. This means I will have to adjust the calories or minutes to get
it into the range I think it’s in. Some activities are hard to judge
though, but I will err on the side of caution and go with a lower value.
Hopefully this will work out well. I’ve already lost 3 lbs (though 2
of that was the week before I started losing). I’m excited to see what
the future will bring.
