Calorie Counter App: Calowise

I don't normally review apps but this is one EVERYONE should definitely try. This is the first app that I've actually lost weight with. it actually helps you develop better eating habits. I know that there's a lot of type behind My Fitness Pal, but I swear, after trying both, this app BEATS MY FITNESS PAL HANDS DOWN. Nearly everything since the app has gone through updates is perfect. The functions are simple and easy to use, without the annoying ads other apps have. You can adjust everything to fit your personal goals, even if they go beyond what the app recommends. They even include a macro calculator that makes things easy to calculate. The grading scale is really helpful to see where you can improve. It takes everything into account, calories, macros, sugar, fiber... it's pretty comprehensive. Also, I love that I can keep everything private, it's not necessarily a competition against all of my Facebook friends. The graphs and diagrams make seeing long term trends quick and easy. The developers have done an absolutely stellar job.

This app is so intuitive that after a day or two it recognizes the foods I eat and practically write them in for me. That’s amazing. I can save whole meals, swipe to duplicate a previously days meal, which is great. I can enter my own recipes and the app will define all nutritional facts per serving so I can easily save it and enter it any time I have this food again. It's a great feature to have since I don't purchase a lot of pre-made foods. The barcode scanner is lightening fast to use. Whoever designed this app must have worked for Apple at some point because it's all so intuitive. I can't say enough good things about this app. The best thing is, I lost all the weight I wanted to lose in just two months and haven't had my Pre baby weight back in over 15 years! Best of all, all my clothes fit and look great. Using this app works. Be honest and enter everything. Stick with the metrics and calories it advises and you will see results. Nothing and no one can make you lose weight or be more fit but this is a tool that is sensible, informative and will help.

I lost 6lbs in a little over a week and I don't exercise! I guess I've reached that point in my life where I can't eat whatever I want whenever I want. I discovered this app, which is much more user friendly than some other ones I have tried. It does all the math for me, which is great. I love how everything is all on one page for a concise overall view of my progress. I love how I can scan barcodes and it immediately knows the product (and if it doesn't, you can add it! lf it isn't correct, you can request an update!). I like that I can keep track of carbs. I love that I can input things in before I eat it so I know how many calories I'll be "spending" ahead of time- which makes daily meal planning a cinch. It is also really easy to delete or edit entries. I learned a lot about my habits and that I don't drink nearly enough water. It does take some self control to keep on target, because you will be starving while your body adjusts! I hope to see specific personal recipe in the future as well as ways of tracking certain specific nutrients, like potassium or magnesium. Love it :)
