Episode 119: Best calorie tracking apps

I get asked all the time about calorie counting apps. What’s the “best” one? Honestly, it’s not about which app is the most accurate. The best app is the one you’ll actually stick with.

I’ve played around with the big names like MyFitnessPal and Chronometer. They both have their pros and cons, different features and different vibes, but the key is making sure you’re cross-checking the data and not just blindly trusting it.

Then there are the newer AI-driven ones like Carbon and MacroFactor. They’re pretty cool because they’ll actually adjust your targets for you based on how you’re tracking, instead of you having to figure it all out yourself.

At the end of the day, my goal isn’t to push one app over another. It’s to help you find the one that fits you, your lifestyle, your preferences, your level of patience with tracking. Because the “right” app isn’t the fanciest or the most high-tech one. It’s the one you’ll actually use consistently.
