Calorie Counter by FatSecret for Android
Great app. With most things the bar code can be scanned. I do wish they let you group foods (or I may not know how) I bake a lot and inputting every Ingredient every time is a pain.
Been using it a long time. Just got REALLY serious end of October. Log everything I put in my mouth and have lost 42 lbs in a little over 4 months. Very easy to use, just set your goals and go for it!!!!!
Excellent to get a rough idea of how much calories you consume, how much more you need and the kinds of food that you take in terms of its carbs, fats and protein content, although it might not be as accurate. Goals are customizable and its easier to get in track once you get used to it ???? It tells you how much calories you burn from sleep/rest/workout sessions too! And it lets you track your weight progress. Still trying to figure out the "community" feature. Overall, 7/10 ????
My favorite tracking app! Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that I can't enter recipes (on my android) that allow me to select a portion of recipe as my serving, it adds the entire recipe to your meal. I have to go use other apps to figure out my serving info and that's just inconvenient! I hope they update this for android users!
I really like this app. I used myfitnesspal previously which was very effective for me, but I got tired of the ads and slow slow app. FatSecret works great. I was concerned about the smaller food database, but it's been great. Occasionally something that I scan is missing, but then it's quite easy to add. The app is lean and fast and so much more pleasant to use. There are some weird idiosyncrasies with the app that I find annoying, but I've always been able to find ways to work around them. Also, the recommended calorie intake seems high in this app, but it's easy to change. All in all, I've converted to FatSecret and am not looking back!
The app is great. I'd be willing to pay for some features. But they need to work on the widget. For some reason, when I added it, the day it defaulted to was over a year ago. There is no way from the widget to look at today without scrolling a day at a time. NOBODY has time for that. So the widget is useless to me. The other issue the app has is since I allowed it to sync with Google Fit, I can no longer add exercise through the website. That's just stupid.
Using this app several years ago I lost 63 pounds but unfortunately I had to stop dieting due to the lack of time because I was taking care of my dying sister who passed January 2017. I just recently restarted my diet so I will see how it goes the second time around.
Excellent app. Has helped me lose 5kg weight in six months. And without doing any exercise. I bought a machine to measure fat% and muscle% after the first month to see if I was just losing water or losing muscle. It has shown that in last five months I gained 1kg muscle and lost 5kg fat (I was not tracking fat/muscle for the first 1kg weight I lost). Also interesting is that my blood tests prior to using app showed a moderately high cholesterol level. I noticed you could track cholesterol and saturated fat intake on app. And by clicking on cholesterol in nutrients section you can see all the foods you ate and how much cholesterol they added. So I started reducing shrimps, calamaris and egg containg foods and increasing fish and beans/pulses. Now my cholesterol is half what it was. Now I am happy with my weight and my food intake is a much better balance, I continue to use the app to maintain a healthy weight and food intake. Thanks very much to the developers!
Love it. I didn't want to pay 50 give a year for mfp for features that weren't worth it. Fstsecret has 90% of those features for free. Id love to support the app though, I haven't seen a way to buy a "paid" version for like 10 or 15 bucks. Great features, great catalog of food, allows me to easily track the macros I want for keto. I love it
My favorite everything food tracking app!
love this app
Amazing feedback
Overall superb app
Love Fat Secret
The foods are plentiful and easy to search.
Love that I can scan barcodes and I can save meals
Easy to use and provides a good overview of macro distribution.
Good, but doesn't work without internet connection.
Easy to use, worked well with the saved meal out option, weight tracker useful.
I've used this website and app for years and love it's simplicity, ease of use, and consistency.
You should add more foods in your app with detailed nutrition values including micro nutrients
I use this app primarily to track my calories for the day and it works very well for that
June 17, 2017 (202 pounds). March 24, 2018 (159 pounds). My Goal: (150 pounds).
Nice app with a big food database. The interface is nice, although I think it could be made more flexible
Great app, helps you being aware of what you put in your body. Useful for Belgian users with lots of preregistered food items.
I like that I can add my food to the diary as I go and add my daily activities from sleep to cleaning the house. Community in Fat Secret is just so supportive and amazing
Really useful especially if you are in Europe. Most of the foods are in the database and there is rarely unrecognised barcode . Really cool!
Great app but needs. Quick add for if you know the calories and ability to turn a meal into a saved meal without having to readd all the ingredients again separately
It's a very useful application which helps me to control my macros n nutrition while sharing with other user... But, there's limited options on app for finding any meals.. When u search it on web, you got it, but when u search on app, there's nothing..
Best calorie counter app in my opinion, keeps track of all macros and calories the whole day and each meal apart, the only thing i would change is PLEASE MAKE MORE SNACKS NOT ONLY ONE
Tried alot of things to lose weight, but this app helped me stick to my goal and it actually worked!
It does all your macros so good for blood fasting or ketogenic as well as calorie counting. Wouldn't be without it even when I've hit my target weight. Also people on there are all very supportive and give you ideas and advice. One big family ????
This app makes tracking callories so easy. Since starting the app I have been losing an average of 2 lbs per week (along with working out three times a week). I haven't changed my diet but by tracking everything I eat I am able to see how easy it is to over indulge. I highly recommend this app to anyone trying to lose weight when going to the gym just isn't enough.
This app is amazing, I have always been overweight, but I have lost 80lbs thanks to this app and the love of Jesus Christ taking the place of my food self medicating
I've used this app for a few months now. Pros: Tracking calories consumed/burned, custom exercises, weight history, nutrition history. Cons: calories burned don't change with exercise time, like if I only do half a workout that day. Most Eaten meals don't really match up to recent food. I can't add recent food from a previous meal into another meal slot (lunch/dinner). I also find it annoying that the calendar starts with Monday instead of Sunday, as proper. It throws me off from a real calendar. The work week starts with Monday, not the calendar week.
Im a skeptic. But i was desparate. I lost 6lbs my first week just eating.. doing light exercise nd following a simple regimen that I enjoy. Ultimately its up to u. But I did this for me.. im feeling beautiful again.
Love the website but the app needs work. Food options using search are limited and difficult to identify, and one has to save simple things as meals for example the peanut butter of a specific brand using the website to be able to add to the food diary using the app.
Great for calorie counting. The app has almost had every single thing i have eaten in uts program. Also, the app shows the macronutrients and the percentage of each which is beneficial for me because i do track and need to balnace my eating. Don't let the name "fatsecret" scare u like it did with me. It can be used for anyone!!! I really enjoy this app!
It's great, easy to use and awesome supportive community..it would be amazing though if we could change picture/edit bio from the app. Also, if we could "like" comments and tag ppl as well.

I love the app. Couple of issue though. I find that some of the nutritional data was inaccurate when taken in Oz example lentils. Also is it possible to get some of the Trinidad and tobago foods added to the database? Otherwise great app
