In our never ending (but just started) battle to help make us all healthier and sexier, here are some of the most popular free apps people use with their iPhone’s to help themselves keep track of their calorie intake, as well as exercise and lose weight:
- Lose It!: Set goals, create a daily calorie budget, record food and exercise, and view graphs of progress with this full-featured weight management app. After you enter your stats, you can create a custom plan, with an end date in mind, based on how much weight you want to lose per week.
- StepTrackLite: A simple pedometer to measure and track physical activity while strolling, walking, or running. The app works whether your iPhone is in your pocket, on your belt, or even in your backpack, and you can listen to music as you get your workout on.
- iPump Free Workout: Created by Exercise Physiologist, Declan Condron, this free alternative to iPump, has two full body workouts targeting major muscle groups, as well as sample exercises from each of the other iPump apps. Each workout is designed specifically for maximum results, and lets users listen to music, watch video demonstrations for each exercise, and record activity to a workout log as they go.
- Calorie Tracker: Calorie Tracker is an incredibly handy free app from LIVESTRONG.com , Lance Armstrong’s health and fitness website. Users can look up and track daily caloric, fat, carbohydrate, and protein intake. The app pulls from LIVESTRONG.com’s Daily Plate nutritional database with over 450,000 food and restaurant items. And if you want your physical activity to factor into the mix, just use the app to calculate burned calories for a variety of exercises. Users can also use the app in conjunction with the website for support groups, forums, and Q&A.
