MyNetDiary’s Calorie Counter and Food Diary is like a mobile diet and fitness coach.

CarbsControl
Google Play | App Store

If you have diabetes or are on a low-carb diet like Adkins or the Zone, this app is great at helping you identify low-carb options. It has an extensive database of foods, food brands, and restaurants. The simple menu design makes it easy to look up each food item and log the number of carbs in the tracking feature. If you want to eat out, just look up the menu for that restaurant and choose items that fit in your plan.

Fitocracy Macros
Google Play | App Store

Counting macronutrients, rather than calories, helps you figure out how much of your diet is made up of the three main macronutrients: carbs, protein, and fat. This app helps you track how much of each type you are eating. The easy to read display makes it a breeze to set goals and track your progress. If you aren’t sure how many macronutrients you need each day, it can help you calculate that as well.

Food Intolerances

Food sensitivities can make eating healthfully a challenge.

Select which sensitivities you have and get in-depth information on how sensitive you may be to the foods you pick.

HealthyOut

Eating out can be challenging when you are trying to stick to a healthy diet plan. But HealthyOut makes it easier.

Once you choose your dish, you can then view detailed nutrition information to help you stay on track even when eating out.
