MyPlate Calorie Counter Positive Reviews

Great.. just one thing..Ok, so I really love this app. I learned about MyPlate in college & loved it then- still love it now. Only one thing!.. I do not like how vague the nutritional info is on the food that you add yourself. I wanted to create a (.64 cup personal watermelon) food because the only watermelon was certain brands I didn’t know, or a weird amount, like 1/16 of a watermelon…. Well, as I was entering exactly what I had- (Because I BUY the app for a reason!!! Because I want to know exactly what’s in the food I’m eating!!!!!!) it wouldn’t let me add polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, or any of the vitamins!!!!! Then at the end it told me the total fat count cannot be higher than the saturated fat, or something like that. It was frustrating that I took my time to try to enter this & it wouldn’t even give me a space to put all the info I needed. I guess I’ll just have to settle on 1/16 of a watermelon since at least it includes some vitamins?? I mean, am I missing something?? Do others have the same issue, or am I just missing a hidden tab or something to add the rest of the info? 🤔😔 If I could do half star ratings, I’d give this one a 4 1/2 because it is great, I do love it, & it seriously does help me loose weight. I also prefer this over other apps (like weight watchers) because I feel like I can actually LEARN about the food I eat rather than just having points etc..23hktlVersion: 5.43.0

Just LearningI am one of “those people” that never had to worry about my weight...until I hit 60 and quit smoking. Because I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, I never understood the correlation between food and gaining weight. Fast forward five years and I packed on the weight. I’ve been living with it for three years and decided it was time to start losing some of this again. I knew any fad diet was not going to work for me, so I decided to start paying attention to what I’m eating and how much I’m eating. Not having any idea what foods are high in calories or carbs or proteins, I decided to download an app to help me. After reading the reviews on My Plate I decided to try it and I was absolutely amazed at how easy this was to do. Not only am I able to keep track of my portions (calories), but I am learning which foods are high in carbs, fat and protein. I am almost 4 weeks in and have lost 4 1/2 pounds. The only thing I don’t like about it is how the list of food I have entered is saved. If you originally enter it for lunch and another time do you want to have it for dinner you have to search for it in the list under lunch and then add it to dinner for that day. I also wish there were some sort of organization to it so you could sort them alphabetically and be able to delete ones that you know you’re not going to use anymore. If there is a way to delete them, I can’t find it. Other than that, I think this app is well worth it..RP 1015Version: 5.27.0

Love this appI started with Noom but tracking my food was the only part of that program that seemed useful to me and I didn’t like it much even for that. With Noom there were a lot of clicks required and irritating pop up messages following every single food entry. So I decided to for search for a free app just to track food. Next I tried MyFitnessPal. That lasted less than a day. Then I tried MyPlate. I’ve been using it for about a week and I’m loving it. It’s easy to use, clean interface, minimal junk, ads, or other annoyances. Plus it has features I didn’t even know I wanted like showing how close my intake tracks to my goal percentages for each macronutrient. The goals are also nicely customizable. I’ve already lost a couple pounds. Now I’ve signed up for one of their meal plans which is something I wasn’t even considering before trying the app. I’m super happy to have a grocery list of healthy foods all prepared for me (big time and effort saver there) and to try some new recipes this coming week. My only request would be if they could offer the option to double or quadruple recipe quantities since I’m cooking for a family. But obviously I can do that myself. At the price of free this thing is a heck of a deal. 5 stars. Update: The first day’s meal plan arrived. The meals didn’t appeal to me so I’m probably not going to do that after all. Still loving the app though..J in Portland MaineVersion: 5.28.0

More AccessibilityI have been using MyFitnessPal for a long time and was looking for a refreshing new experience. Came across your app and actually I think I prefer it more than MyFitnessPal, the concept and it’s compatibility with the iPhone’s software makes me (an iPhone user) want to rather use this app instead of MyFitnessPal. I want to make this my go to app except for one feature, the fact that the color choice of the app is in relation to your iPhone being in light mode or dark mode. As someone who prefers having my phone in dark mode, when I opened the app and saw the screen dark, it was a turn off for me. Some people may think otherwise and prefer the dark mode, but to me it gave a depressing vibe. As small as this feature is, if I’m going to use an app for every meal to count calories I for sure want it to look appealing to me. I think a simple fix for this would be to give the person the option to choose whether or not they want it to be light or dark in the app settings, and to not have it based off your iPhone settings. As nit picky as this critique is, this one feature would make me switch from MyFitnessPal to your app in an instant without hesitation, but until then I’ll be staying on MyFitnessPal solely because of the ability to have my screen continue to be white, even when I’m in dark mode. This is a great app, but adding in a little personal accessibility would blow the competition out of the water..Tonioo UVersion: 5.28.0

Saving my futureBefore I had gotten this app, I seriously didn't feel confident in what I was eating at all. This is is saving me and here's why. I'm 14. Before you start yapping about how I shouldn't be dieting and blah blah blah, I have very good reasons so try to hear me out. Both of my parents have very bad health and struggle with their weight a lot. Cancer runs in the family pretty strongly, and my father has hearth issues. My mom is always in pain in her joints and we are pretty sure she has a type of arthritis. I'm currently 158 pounds which is a lot- especially for my age. If I continue eating the way I do, living the way I do, or drinking as little as I do now...I could potentially not live a long healthy life. If I eat healthy and I workout everyday and try to drink 80 oz of water, I think I would actually be a healthy human. Will it stop me from cancer, arthritis, and blood pressure issues? Maybe not, but when you are healthy and living a healthy lifestyle, I believe you have a bigger chance in survival. I have been using this app everyday for about a week and it makes me really happy to say that I am losing weight as we speak! My skin looks really nice and I am finally feeling confident in my body. I am so happy to have this app, it's a life changer and a life beginner. I love that it doesn't have pop up ads either. Thank you creators ✨💛✨..TaylorMarie6136Version: 5.29.2

Husband lost 70 lbs just tracking caloriesI was using a different app that my PT was using. I told my husband to get an app like this. Once he got MyPlate and he was tracking his calories he realized more of what he was eating. He was better able to avoid foods that were full of empty calories and keeping track of his foods helped him see what was making him sick and what didn’t. It tracks carbs, sugars, fats, sodium, and proteins. (More than this but that’s all we use). Once he realized how much he was actually eating he started making better choices a little at a time. He wanted to see how much he could lose before he started working out and he quickly lost 60lbs. He found that he was eating more than 10,000 empty calories before. Now he keeps it to under 2,000net calories. (It subtracts calories burnt that are tracked with his iWatch- I have an iFITNESS. Which is much cheaper and it syncs to this app as well). He loves it. It’s like a game to him. I tell everyone about this app because I’m so proud of him. Literally, all the motivation he needed was to be shown how much garbage he was eating. Now, because he’s eating less processed sugar, his sores heal faster, he’s off his gout medication,($200/month) and we’re hoping he’ll be off his bp meds next visit. His teeth are in better condition without all the soda. He can’t even stand to eat all the junk because it makes him sick. LOVE THIS APP!.Baby2cakesVersion: 5.15.0

Great app! Even without purchasing the subscriptionThis app is great! I have been overweight for the last 20 years and I never thought that I would be able to lose the weight. I downloaded this app with pretty low expectations. After using it for a few days and seeing everything that it helps you keep track of, I was addicted. Between accurately tracking my caloric intake with this app, and eating minimal processed foods, I have lost 40 lbs in about two and a half months and I am officially in a healthy weight range again! You can set a goal of how much weight you want to lose (or gain) and it will show you your daily calorie goal. It has a great graphing function that will help you keep track of progress for the last year. It tracks your daily calories, weight, BMI, carb intake, sugar intake, and so much more. Watching the line on the graph go down for the last few months has really kept me motivated. I couldn’t have lost the weight without using this app. If you are serious about keeping track of your diet and becoming healthier, I highly recommend the free download. I’m still using the free version, but I am so impressed with the results, I am going to purchase it tonight to see all of the other stats that I can track..DjvyanksfnVersion: 5.28.0

Theres better ones for Keto but good for what it does.So overall, it’s not bad. I like that my Bluetooth scale syncs to it to enter in my weight as well as my Apple Watch to track calories burned. Logging food is easy enough however I wish it had the graph by each food that was eaten that day so you don’t have to open them individually to see which one had the crazy amount of carbs/fat/protein. It has them when you’re putting the info in but by the time I’m done and I look at my overall (daily) intake, I forget which was what. One thing I’m really disappointed in is there is no Keto/Paleo or other “diet” options in the food selections. There’s not even a low-carb option. The food plan is pretty moot if you’re following a specific diet. There’s really not a whole lot of recipes and it would be extraordinary helpful if in those few, you could like or save the ones you want to go back to later vs scrolling through them to find the one you wanted. I paid for the 1 month service to get the full experience but dont see a point in resubscribing. I’ll be trying the paid version of Carb Manager since it’s specific to the Keto diet. —-I’ll miss the look of this app though. Also very noteworthy—it counts carbs for what they are, not net carbs. This is why I was starving! LoL I thought me hanging an avocado was it. Well—on Keto, it’s only 2(net) carbs instead of 12! 🥴.Inta_TOGVersion: 5.32.0

Love it.The app is helping me lose weight by helping me count carbs. At first I was using the free version just to count calories. I was doing great in the calorie department, but my weight wasn’t changing much. I dug a bit deeper, and thanks to the other features of the app I realized I was eating carbs mostly. The app opened my eyes to the macros, and I did more research online. I limited my carbs intake to under 50%, and mind you, I hadn’t been eating candy, cakes, cookies or snacks before, my weight started dropping off at about two pounds per week. The app taught me that there are carbs in beans and vegetables, and that I need to pay attention to the macros in all the foods, including those that I had thought healthy options; my vegan home cooked meals were packed with carbs. By balancing my diet better, I actually started feeling better almost immediately. The fogginess is gone, I have energy, I don’t drag myself from task to task, and I’m at my lowest weight in years, and my BMI is normal. I will reach my weight goal in a couple of weeks. I am eating differently, and I don’t miss my old food habits. I don’t crave sugar. I feel good. Thank you, App!.AvathisnicknameisalreadytakenVersion: 5.29.2

A decent tracking appI like many of the features of this app. It offers good macro tracking and some vitamin/mineral tracking. It’s simple to enter your food and I do find most of the products I use are listed, with a few exceptions. The search feature is lacking a bit. A lot of times I can type exactly the name of a product into the search and it won’t find it, and sometimes just pulls up weird totally unrelated stuff. Often I have to scan the barcode to find things. Overall I think the use of this is generally fairly intuitive and more simple in layout than similar apps like MyFitnessPal. It took me a minute to figure out the excercise tracking, which I think could be set up a little better (for ease of use, the same setup as the food logging) but it’s not hard to use. These things aside I have liked the app overall. I probably won’t be renewing the premium, which I think is expensive for what You get. I just didn’t find the additional nutrient tracking and other features very helpful for me but maybe they’re worth it for others and maybe that will change with updates/time. But the for the free version I think it’s great and has definitely helped me watch portions and eat better overall..Peakseeker88Version: 5.32.0

Easy to Use, mostlyThis app provides a lot of features and resources! You can keep track of calories, consumption of water, weight, calories burned, etc. They also have a Stronger Livestrong meal plan that includes work outs as well! I’ve just started it, and I’ve felt great so far! But now the server has seemed to entirely crashed. I can’t run anything on the app. I couldn’t log into anything or pull up my meal plan at all. They also email you your meals for the day and if you click on the image, it’ll take you to the recipe. Now when I click these links, they are unable to load. I have fantastic connection at my location so I found this odd. My phone and the app are entirely up to date, so I tried turning my phone off and on and uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Now I can’t login, sign up, or use the “forgot password” feature. Nothing will load, just keep getting a network error. I’m hoping I still get the emails so I can keep with the meal plan since I have all the groceries, but this is incredibly frustrating. So far I haven’t received any emails (they also send weekly emails about tips and articles that I’m subscribed to) regarding this server issue. So, in summary, the app works great and has lots of great features! Sadly, the app has a tendency to take forever to load anything (if at all) or crash some days....GwendialVersion: 5.14.4

User-friendly, health-friendly, great appLove this app, it automatically tracks all of your steps, provides a nice chart to know how many calories you have left depending on the info you put in, and if you follow it, you’re basically guaranteed to gain or lose 1-2 lbs a week (or maintain) as long as you put all your food info right. The gradual weight loss is also healthy for you- this app has helped me approach calorie counting as a way of being conscious, not guilty. I struggle to lose weight, and I lost 8 lbs over the summer by taking a walk every time I wanted to eat but was close to my daily limit. I’ve never lost that much at once, and it felt great, even if i did gain it back once i started school again. I have a RENPHO scale (which I also love for multiple reasons) which also automatically puts my new weight into this app. Overall, the layout is great, really great graphic design, and this makes it easy to keep track of your habits. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to lose weight but feels like it’s overwhelming. Just the number of calories burned going up after I exercise makes me feel even better for putting in effort!.FinnethewVersion: 5.21.0

Solid tracking appI have been using this app for a few days now after taking a break. The meal plan seemed like something fun to try, but I just don’t like it. The recipes are not cohesive, and there is a lot of waste with the ingredients (only using 1/2 cup blueberries for the whole week) if I were to actually use this for shopping. I don’t like contributing to so much food waste. Also, I did not get a list of the meals and recipes until the day I start. This is not good for planning my lunches at work, and puts me in a rush on Monday morning. The meal planning option may be good for someone single, who has more red control over cooking, but it is not practical for families. I cancelled my premium membership and will continue to use the free app. If MyPlate had a comprehensive recipe box where I could choose the recipes for the week and then print a shopping list, that would be ideal. I would love to be able to choose my meals for me and my family, that we like, and see how it affects my macros and calorie input before throwing down a lot of money on groceries. Solid app for tracking calories. Wish the premium was better..Bs331467Version: 5.28.0

Starting again - working better nowUpdate - so far so good. Apple Watch Activity tracking is good. I lost the meals I had created and haven’t tried it again. I had written to app support and they responded - a wonderful sign! I decided to switch apps (from My Fitness Pal) to see if I could get better Apple Watch tracking and also provide a different visual view. I have deleted MyPlate and restarted it to see if there was an error I made. I opened the app at 6am today and it showed I had already eaten breakfast and lunch and had done 325 calories worth of exercise. These were entries from yesterday. Yesterday the entries were not recording correctly. I tried to adjust them, but every time I exited and re-entered, I got a different result. And the Watch tracking, which had been very good, was not working correctly. I like the app enough to start again. Will report back. (Few minutes later) That didn’t work. When I deleted the app, the message said it was deleting the data, but it did not. Edit of a meal doesn’t work. There is no edit capability when I click Edit. Please fix. I’ll find another way to report some of this functionality that needs fixing. Decent app. Just needs some tweaking..PhotoMusicLEDVersion: 5.18.0

Great ConceptI like this app a lot, my biggest concern, is that you should be allowed to set your age, because teens and below need a certain amount of calories, and not being a leg to set this, can make it seem like it is okay to eat less than the necessary amount regularly. I also think that there are a lot of uneducated people in the chat feature. I understand that it is hard to educate everyone, but my suggestion, would be that when you sign up for the app, to have to go through a quick flip through, things like self confidence and doing it for you, and about children needing a specific amount of calories, balancing nutrition with exercise, drinking water, etc. I also think that this app should incorporate sleep, because sleep is very important to staying healthy, because we shouldn’t be doing these things to lose weight, or be pretty, we should be doing them to be healthy and have a better quality of life. I also think that maybe there should be a kids version that not only tracks basic health things, but also teaches kids about nutrition with fun games, and entertaining exercise, it could be a fun way to get they whole family involved..Emesm2Version: 5.29.2

Ideas to make it betterI love this app I would track my calories by hand before and this just makes it better and easier. I would love if you had an option to pay yearly not just monthly for the gold plan because if you add that I will defiantly do the gold plan. I would be good if you did like a silver and bronze plan too that have other options. Also you should add a ** drink water remind** where we can have it remind us a few times a day. And it would be cool if we could have friends through the app and see each others calories and support each other because I do this with my mom but we have to go over calories when we’re together because I can’t just add her like a friend. Another idea in the meal prep you should have a weeks worth of recipes when you click that tab and you could change them every week. You could do it for the gold of course. Hope you read this post and get back to me. I really would love to see some of these updates it would make the app better and the pay by year would be perfect not everyone likes having another monthly bill..ZmirandazVersion: 5.13.1

Good app, a few tweaks could make it a great oneHello, I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now to maintain my weight and keep track of macros and it has mostly been great. There are, however, a few issues with it though. First of all, when selecting what serving size you ate, the fractions constrict your ability to accurately determine how much you ate—I believe that either the inclusion of smaller fractions (1/5, 1/6, 1/7, etc) or the option to use decimals would be greatly beneficial to the ease of use here. Another issue comes up when you select a food that you have eaten before—with some foods, there are many different units you could select from, such as pieces or grams or ounces—however, if you have already eaten this food once before, you can no longer select from any of the other unit options besides the one you previously used. It’s quite frustrating and may force you to select a different food that may be inaccurate to what you actually ate. Overall, however, I really like this app and use it everyday. I’m the kind of person who likes to know all of the numbers and details, and this gets the job done without any nonsense. Thank you for reading and please consider fixing the aforementioned issues!.MissNarwhalsVersion: 5.19.0

Good*Updated* 1/9/18 The developers responded to my issues in a timely manner. That was greatly appreciated. I have since been able to use the “edit” option under the “my foods” tab effectively. Problem one solved. And in regards to sync my two devices it would seem I didn’t sync the devices correctly. “Force sync” the device you just added food to. THEN “force sync” the other device you wish to update. Thanks MyPlate Developers! Nice for tracking macros. However, I would like a couple more features added. 1.) Id like to be able to “modify” my food entries. There are a lot of in inaccurate additions to the food list. I think this is greatly due to not being able to edit an item once it’s been uploaded. I took the time to enter all the nutritional facts into an item, hit save, just to realize the protein was showing .18grams of protein, not 18grams. Very frustrating. 2.) I have two devices with this app, both under the same profile log in, and they don’t sync to each other. If the profile records could sync to an online data base that would be great. Hopefully these features are added soon and I’ll change my rating from 3 star. Thanks for listening..MarcineusVersion: 5.13.1

Please improveI really liked this app for a while because it has better connectivity and syncing with my other Apple activity tracking apps and devices than “MyFitnessPal”. And I like the simplicity of the user interface. ALSO no ads!! However after using it for some weeks I have a few complaints: 1. it doesn’t have the best foods database. Many unverified foods that have no information about quantity other than “1 serving”. 2. Search engine is weak. 3. Also the measurement increments are not small enough, and no ability to change to decimals. 4. It doesn’t remember quantity of a particular food from the previous day so that has to be selected every time. 5. The “My Meals” feature does not always work- choose it and go to create new meal, add food “start tracking now and your recently tracked foods will appear here” = nothing, even after using the app for weeks. Then enter the foods manually and name the meal, try to save and save is greyed out. Tried it 2x on separate days. Summary- Entering foods can be a time consuming pain. So I’m back to using My Fitness Pal for foods. But on the positive side My Plate syncs with Apple Health app, other apps, Watch etc and tracks activity really well so I’m hoping for future improvements..JBReillyVersion: 5.15.0

AmazingThe best thing about this app is that it is simple and easy to use. I’ve been lifting seriously for the past year and went through a bulking phase where I went from 178 to 205 in a little over 6 months, in large part due to this app. A lot of the things I had been eating before using this app I didn’t know the exact makeup of the food I was intaking and with this app it helped me so much. So many other apps I tried for my meal prepping wanted to give me different things to eat and to try this and that, when all I wanted was something that could track my calories, carbs, protein, and fat intake. It was a blessing to have this. The “my food” part of this makes it quick and easy when, like many competitive powerlifters, you’re on a strict diet and eat the same foods at the same time every day for weeks on end. Now that I’m in the cutting phase again, I set my calorie intake level that I want, and I can track it throughout the day. Overall, amazing for those who do dieting seriously like I do..Sam192748282Version: 5.16.2

Defaulting units to “serving” in subsequent recordings is a major flawOverall this app works well, save for a single flaw that is bad enough to make me switch to a different calorie counting app. The list of foods is extensive (if a little difficult to search sometimes) but the problem occurs when you try to record something you've already recorded. When you first record a food you’re given a variety of options to declare how much you consumed (a serving, X cups, Y grams, etc.). But subsequent records only give you the option for the unit “serving”, and the unit for serving is given. But it’s not always reasonable to measure things by the default unit. For instance, I added 1/2 cup of walnuts to a salad, and the next day ate about 10g of walnuts (i.e. about 5 walnut halves) as a snack. Because I had already recorded walnuts I had no option other than to record my calories as a fraction of a cup. Why? Clearly there are multiple measurement units available for most foods during the first recording, so why take those options away for subsequent recordings. I want to keep using this app, but this issue is just too frustrating, especially when there are so many alternative calorie counter apps out there..Apotash15Version: 5.19.0

Almost perfectThe app is very useful when it comes to logging meals and being able to keep track of my calories. I love that it shows me my macro total percentage-ages for the day as well. Micronutrient info and daily goals are neat but not totally necessary esp with the sodium thresholds and such available to view online. However, it is a very common and free feature of other meal tracking apps to be able to create a meal (with however many servings of individual ingredients) and then say how many servings that meal makes. Unfortunately, with My Plate when you click on a meal you’ve made, it lists all of the ingredients individually. This makes it very tedious, if not impossible, to accurately input homemade recipes. This is very annoying since I do a lot of cooking at home and meal prepping. I would love to see this one feature changed. Other than that this app is great - especially including all of the online features it allows you to input about your starting point with your body measurements along with weight. The graphs are encouraging. I’d love to give 5 stars when I’m able to make my own “serving” sizes for homemade meals!.AubrydanVersion: 5.14.3

Easy! Very encouraging!This is a very comprehensive app listing nutrition, water, weight, exercise and daily comparisons! Easy to use! Love how it gently reminds you to log in meals. Has nearly every food listed! Love how we can see calories /weight/ exercise/ water etc by day and totals compared. Do wish it had more brand name foods but it has enough to find something similar. The ONLY negative is many similar items are listed as anyone can enter anything. And we can’t really trust all those entries in calories since they rarely ever match each other. Suggest: Can you block an entry that is same as other database entries by name and size? And can you require users enter a quantity / size for items they enter? Sooo many user entries show “ 1 portion ” as the size but don’t say How Big that portion is!?? Or they say “1 slice”....they don’t say how big is the slice? I see many listing a burger size as “1 burger”?? How big is that? Sizes can be from 3 oz to 16 oz!? Those entries are useless. But do love how we can enter something unique that we don’t see listed...just need details so others can use those too. Thx for a comprehensive app!.LLJANISVersion: 5.14.6

Good when starting out but food list needs updating and expansionThis app has been helpful in terms of forcing me to track everything that passes my lips and being aware of what I'm eating. I also find the chat helpful for the most part. My biggest problems with the app are the food list and the exercise list. The food list needs to be updated more often to add foods and needs to include mixed food made from scratch. For example, I made a bag of mixed dry beans with low fat reduced sodium chicken broth last night. I had to add each kind of bean one at a time, add the broth, add the onions, celery, etc. and then estimate how much I ate of each item. Ugh. The exercise app needs an overhaul and to include more types of everyday activities as exercise. I have lost 5 pounds so far. I am about a month in now and for the most part I still feel this is a fairly good app for tracking your foods and macros. I feel less positive about the chat portion and I've decided not to use that aspect of the app any longer. There is 1 person in particular who thinks he is Gods gift to the food and diet world and I've grown tired of his incredibly nasty approach to everyone. He's The school yard bully..RiverTideRedVersion: 5.12.3

Great, but with a Bad ChangeI’ve been using this app for a long time, and generally, it’s awesome. The UI is really nice, and it makes it easy to track things quickly and keep tabs on nutrition. One key change, however, has disappointed me. In a recent update, they changed the weight progress chart from a scatter plot to bar graph. Not a big deal, right? Unfortunately, this UI change has made it look like my weight has hardly changed at all over time, while previously it showed weight changes as dramatic, which I found encouraging. This new change is frustrating and makes it harder to be excited about my progress. I’m not sure if this review will reach any devs, but I’d like to hear their thought process on this change. Update: Thanks for the response! I really appreciate the fact that you all listen to feedback. And as a programmer myself, I get it - these things take time. Anyways, overall great app and it’s wonderful to actually hear from the developers..MiklosBVersion: 5.30.1

Great but approximations on macrosI really like the features, especially scanning in food barcodes! It is a little difficult entering the nutrition data of a portion of a complex meal, but I tend to keep things simple. It I has forced me to take a look at my actual intake and measure my portions. A simple kitchen scale is great with this app when eating whole food. My one gripe is that I am almost certain the macro ratios are slightly inaccurate because I did not purchase the gold version. Net carbs, from which you get calories, are not included in the breakdown for free. Because of this the carbs are not calculated entirely correctly which is not great if a person is on a keto diet that cannot have wiggle room- you constantly would have to recalculate otherwise a person would think they are over in there carb intake. If looks like they count some fiber towards calories. I am irked because it just doesn’t seem to give you an entirely correct macro breakdown. I have wiggle room so I don’t care so much if it is a close approximation..Anonmomma678Version: 5.34.0

Helps you track your effort and resultsThis app will NOT do the weight loss for you, but it will help you to realize you had the power to lose weight through moderation and dedication all along. I have steadily lost 30 lbs in the last 6 months! I went from size 10 to size 2, and am no longer overweight. I have had hypothyroid my entire adult life and never thought I’d be at my college weight again. I wish I’d gotten out of my head and done this sooner! I use this app to track my food and exercise easily and quickly. Most foods and exercises are easily searchable, and you can also create your own food and exercise entries. You can track your daily macros to make sure you’re getting enough of each nutrient. The app has settings for different ages, weights, activity levels and weight goals. I also plan to continue to use this app to maintain my current weight, as well as gain weight at a healthy weight when I get pregnant. Tracking my habits using this app helped me to realize that I used to underestimate the quality and quantity of food and drink I was taking in. It also helped me to rebuild a healthy relationship with exercise. I can now run 3-5 miles every day… and I actually enjoy it. Friends, family and coworkers keep asking me what my secret is… I tell them… It’s the same old idea of calories in, calories out. Use MyPlate to keep track of it all and be honest with yourself..HazardbabyVersion: 5.36.0

Great, but could be even better!I’ve really enjoyed using this app, and it’s really easy to use. The only issue I have found is the amount of inaccuracies in the stored food information. It would be really cool to have a user rating system to help verify the information of the foods listed. For example, users could upvote or downvote certain foods based on accuracy. Also, there should be a way to report/give feedback on foods that have incorrect information. I have found that even some of the “verified” foods are wrong. For example, I compared the information from the package to the information on the app from the bacon that I had this morning. The app had the nutritional information for raw bacon listed instead of cooked. Who eats raw bacon? The same thing happens with boxed foods that have the unprepared and prepared calories listed. With that being said, I understand it would be near impossible to make it 100% accurate, but I hope the accuracy can be improved..Mah4356Version: 5.14.4

It’s a great app, but calorie count changed.I really like this app, it has helped me lose 30 pounds just by portion control in helping me know exactly (approximately) how many calories I’ve eaten. However, in the past month it seems that the count in calories burned has changed. Before, 10,000 steps walked would show that it burned about 635 calories. Now, 10,000 steps shows that about 1100 calories have been burned. Why such a drastic change? I believe that such a significant change like that will negatively impact my ability to track calories in vs. calories burned. After the above review, the developer contacted me and informed me that due to an iOS update, I was tracking calories from multiple sources on my phone (MyPlate app & Apple health app). The developer advised me on how to correct that problem and I am happy to report that my calorie count seems to have returned back to the way it originally was. Increased star rating from 3 to a 5..Beastmayhem13Version: 5.43.0

By far one of the most useful apps I have on my phone!!!So I’m starting a calorie deficit to try and lose some weight and this app is perfect for calculating calories. I’m also trying to stick to a 50:30:20 meal plan when it comes to carbs, proteins, and fats. It gives me a percentage of each for every meal I have and a total at the end of the day. I can enter my calorie goal and it will tell me how many calories I have left for each day. It also has other features I didn’t even know I needed but now rely on, like different articles addressing an assortment of nutritional topics or an entire meal plan where is gives you healthy recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. By far my favorite health & nutrition app I’ve ever used. I’ve tried MyFitnessPal, Noom, Weight Watchers, and MyPlate is by far my favorite and most useful. It also has little to no ad interferences so I’m never interrupted by them! Overall, 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to keep track of their calories and nutrition!.SwaetieeVersion: 5.32.0

Great app for tracking!I really enjoy using this tracker, even with just the free version. The aesthetic is very nice to me compared to MFP. I like that you are able to connect your fitness tracker (Apple Watch for me) and I also like that it has meal recommendations depending on your goals. I love that you are able to put in your own food if it’s not listed and build your own meals so you can add all of its contents at once, making tracking oatmeal and smoothies and my other favorite food concoctions much easier. Only downside is that you can’t track only a portion of the meals if you make more than one serving (for example I made muffins and input all the ingredients I used into a meal, until I saw I would only be able to track eating the whole batch rather than 1/6 of the meal). Besides that, I like that there’s a notification option and how you can schedule daily reminders to track. Overall, great calorie/macro tracker and I would highly recommend!.MarkkraubeVersion: 5.30.1

Food log problemsI would probably stop using MyFitnessPal and switch to this, but there are some huge issues with this app. That I believe can be easily fixed. As far as food logging, I have to constantly make "my own food" because the bar codes i can or items I search for are not being found, this gets really annoying and begins to be a huge waste of time. With the other app I am able to find and scan in all the items, that I can't with this app which makes it much easier and faster. Also when I precede to "add my food" because I'm now forced to because of the lack of food items within the app, it only asks for fat, protein and carbs, which I find to not be enough information as far as nutrition, on MyFitnessPal, it asks me for sodium, fiber, sugar, vitamins, etc. which I think makes more sense. I'm not sure if this is only with the basic version 🤔. Anyway I love the design of the actual app, the interface is easily navigated and I like that the home screen shows me the breakfast, checked off with the specific calories, in a highlighted form..Meeeeeee3566749Version: 5.12.3

This app helped me drop 60 pounds of fatTo give backstory, I was an offensive lineman in high school. I was D2 quality coming out of my junior year. My senior year was filled with injuries and eventually I needed shoulder surgery. This surgery and the subsequent recovery process lead me to peruse academics as my means of scholarship. After I had decided this, I was left with about 3 more months of physical therapy. After my physical therapy was done, I was left an atrophied mess. The muscles I once used to push and block were now faded and flabby. I was fat. During my years of football, I had always wanted to be a leaner, more athletic version of myself. I now had the ability to do so, no longer needing the weight for football purposes. I went from 285 at my peak weight to 214 at my lowest. Since then, I’ve gained some back, but now, I’m making a serious run at cutting for the summer. I look forward to using this app for many more years to come..NelmoniterVersion: 5.16.1

Has massive potential but not there yetI love the look, feel and options of this app ... to a point. Where is it lacking? 1) When attempting to change my calories goal manually, it doesn’t respond right away and I have to keep fixing it; 2) When trying to set my carbs, protein, and fat percentages, it only gives me the choice of percentages in 5% increments, not grams and not smaller percent increments; 3) When the app calculates grams based on percentages while inside the goals section, the app rounds down (22.5 becomes 22). However, when the app calculates grams while inside the meal tracking section the app rounds up (22.5 becomes 23). I know I am a control freak and some people think these are minor things. But over one’s own body ... we all should be control freaks. If these things were fixed, it would be a most amazing app! UPDATE: To change the calories goal, delete the old goal, click on the back button, then go to the calories goal again and put in the new goal. There’s a “set goals” button in the percentages screen, why not in the calories goal screen?.Izzy songVersion: 5.14.4

I really like this app.... but had to delete itI downloaded a bunch of calorie trackers to test them side by side, and I think My Plate is one of the best. I love that it has a verified badge next to items when you search, because I feel overwhelmed by the amount of choices/repeats in most other calorie trackers. The layout is easy to use and the ads are unintrusive in the free version. However, the chat/forum that I thought would be helpful to me is absolutely overrun with 14 & 15 year old girls who are trying to get from 112 to 109. Girls.... live your life and stop starving yourself. It was so depressing to read and amounted to about every other post as far as I could see. The community was great about telling them to cut it out but it didn’t seem to help. I had to delete the app off my phone because I couldn’t handle it. My advice to the developers is to ban teenagers off this app- most teens do not need to be dieting, and if they do for health reasons it should be with the help of a doctor, not an app..FoofarooVersion: 5.25.2

So many improvements since I tried it lastI am vision impaired and I have been using this app for over a year. I have used both the free version and the upgrade, and both are excellent. In addition, I have contacted the developers about features in the app that were not accessible. They have written me very courteous responses and have fixed most of the issues willingly. I appreciate their efforts for inclusion. I would like to suggest that in the fractional pop-up menu for less than whole quantities of a serving that they add smaller quantities than 1/4 serving. I would like to be able to log smaller amounts such as 1-3 ounces, teaspoons, or tablespoons. I would strongly recommend both versions of this app. Another suggestion: there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to foods recently tracked. Foods eaten most recently either don’t show up in the list at all or they are buried in the middle or close to the bottom. Any food eaten on a particular day should automatically appear at the top of the list..SuperStarEarsVersion: 5.37.0

Really easyThis app is really easy to use and it’s also very visually appealing to the eye with your proteins and such being colorcoded so you know to pay attention! The only thing I would suggest to improve is the comment section and the sugar intake system. It would be nice if there was a reply button to other people’s comments in the community to make things easier to write and read. It’s kind of just a bunch of comments and to understand what people are talking about you’d have to read ALL of the comments instead of just the reply section or the original comment that was replied to. It would also be nice if the sugars could be separated from added sugars so it can be clear how much added sugar we should be eating and how much natural sugars we should be eating. As a fruit lover, I love eating my fruits with a low-calorie dip but it’s super hard to tell if I’m going over my added sugars or my natural sugars..SolimarrrrrrrrrVersion: 5.28.0

Beneficial to my weight loss and muscle gain.In July of 2018 I was 204. That kind of weight on my 5’7” frame was not good or healthy. I began exercising and was struggling to notice any loss of weight. I heard about MyPlate and began tracking my calories. Being able to monitor my Proteins, Carbs, and Fats allowed me to know exactly what I was getting from one meal to the next. By being able to see if I was meeting my daily macro nutrient goals allowed me to adjust my nutrition accordingly and the weight began to almost fall off. One week I decided to measure everything on a scale to input exactly what my caloric intake was. Not that I would recommend this for everyone or for any consistent time, but in that week I lost at least a pound a day and still felt energized due to getting exactly what was needed for my body to lose weight and still maintain action. I do recommend this app to anyone looking to lose weight and/or gain mass..AJER09040708Version: 5.18.0

Can no longer add your own recipesI used this app years ago and loved it. Just started using it again and am very disappointed to no longer be able to add my own recipes. This is a problem because we do not eat pre-made meals. Yes, you can manually add the calories and a few pieces of nutritional info, but this doesn’t cut it when I’m also trying to track the vitamins & minerals of my own recipes. It’s possible because the option was there in the past. It is much more accurate to be able to add my soup recipe in, for example, than to choose if Kroger, or Campbell’s or whatever brand comes closest to my own. I find the options of available foods lacking. This may work for someone who eats mainly commercially prepared foods or someone only tracking calories. My Fitness Pal does allow you to add your own recipes, so I will likely have to switch to them, unfortunate as I love other things here such as the vitamin/mineral tracking and the workout videos..MBKR76Version: 5.38.1

Very handyI decided to download an app to track my meals because I was concerned about what I was eating. I’ve been a vegetarian for a few years but recently became lactose intolerant and wanted to make sure I was getting carbs/proteins/fats in a good balance. It’s easy to use and gives a nice breakdown with handy graphics, and it also gives nice recipe recommendations. I’m only giving it four stars because of how it’s centered on weight loss as opposed to just health. I used to severely restrict my food intake (less than 300 cal/day) in order to fit a certain body type and I was horribly unhealthy. Having a set of calories given brings back some of that stress and over concentration on calorie intake. I would love it if this focused more on nutrition instead, but you can’t have it all. If you are a vegetarian I would 100% recommend this app though, because it does have vegetarian specific recipes and is very helpful in making sure you get the proper amount of fats/proteins/carbs..LuvlinsVersion: 5.19.0

Good and TerribleThe good is that the app is straightforward and fairly easy to use. The recipes are helpful. The micronutrient breakdown is good, although I haven’t quite delved into that. Unfortunately, this app stumbles badly when it comes to recording calories. Instead of simple measures of food (weights and measures, i.e. ounces, grams, cups, tablespoons) you get odd or meaningless measures like “serving,” or “slice.” Or you get odd quantities to choose from like 3 oz. So if I had 4 oz. of something, I have to enter it as a quantity of 1.33 of the unit of 3 oz. Why not just make the unit 1 oz., and let me scroll to 4? Also - sourdough bread - there are two measures available, both named “slice.” One of these slices is about 190 calories, and the other is something like 90 calories! So, I’m left to guess how many calories my slice was, and do the math to come up with a quantity? Why have this at all if I’m guessing? I have no issue with measuring or weighing my food, just give me units that make sense! (Noom is much better in this aspect.).AM576!Version: 5.41.0

Easy entryI like how easy it is to enter the foods I eat.I wish sometimes there were different units of measure for some foods. And also I don’t like how I put in a food and multiple choices come up and sometimes none of them are the correct amounts for me and have different calories for the same unit. It would he nice to have someone that was constantly working on slimming down each item to just one easily found choice but multiple units of measure. And lastly your meal plans although nice or sometimes just too complicated for me. I need it very very simple. Especially when you have someone starting a diet for the first time they need like one or two items for each meal only. Maybe offer not so much a mixed dish but two or three items for the same meal like a piece of bacon two eggs one apple etc..RN JulieVersion: 5.37.0

Good appI like this app and have been using it on and off since I was 18 (I’m 23 now), I’m also 5’7”, and about 70 lbs down from 186 lbs. I appreciate the way I’m able to count calories with more precise measurements of food. However, one thing I would love to see on this app are time stamps of exactly when I ate last and/or the ability to input a time stamp. Or even a way to adjust reminders of when I need to eat next that matches my daily routine (if this already exists in the app, my apologies). I have a co-morbid disability that makes food/remembering to eat throughout the day a bit of a challenge for me. So, I think that having a more handicap accessible app to help keep track of my daily in-take would be extremely helpful. Even if I didn’t have a disability and I was still trying to lose weight, I’m pretty sure a lot of people would appreciate an adjustable time stamp..Fox L. W.Version: 5.38.1

Best free calorie tracking app by farI haven’t tried any of the paid features, but even the free options allow me to track both meals & water, which is more than most other free apps I downloaded. The design is simple and makes sense. I also participate in a meal kit service which supplies nutritional facts for each meal; this app makes it easy to enter those facts and track and chart those calories & macros. No better free app for this - I checked all the apps recommended by Apple HealthKit. Apps that looked slightly better usually had a cost for the app itself, and/ or anywhere from $10-$40 monthly fee. At $10 for a single month, $5/mo for 6 months, or $3.75/mo for a year, the Gold membership may well be worth it. Having so many free resources in an app is really heartening; I might upgrade to gold just to support this app & it’s developers. Thank you..FiFiMertensVersion: 5.19.0

Recent update is frustratingUpdate: The update after my review help resolved most of my issue with the app. There are some things that could use work, like the delay when adding or removing foods, but it’s minor things. I do wish there was a way to add new foods through barcode. I’ve used MyPlate for nearly a year now and had little issues before the most recent update. I am getting similar bugs to other reviewers but I’m most frustrated with the recently tracked list; I have to constantly type and search for my foods and if there is more than two of the same keywords I don’t see the third recently tracked. If there was at least a way to edit or have a favorite for the recently tracked that would be much better. The my meals section is also not working the same as before, there’s no way to edit meals already done. Overall it’s ok. I can live with it, but it was much better before..BlackfiresStyleVersion: 5.20.2

Best meal tracking appThis one is the best; you can adjust the amount by 1/4, 1/3 and so on to ensure you have the correct intake amount.

Easy to use! Has lots of food options!Really great app for what you get for free. Especially the Stronger Meal Plan! A grocery list and recipes each week? Amazing! And the fact the app has so many foods logged into its base means I can find every brand of what I eat. And there’s the option to add your own foods which is great since I do a lot of homeade baking.

Limited To People With Certain DietsI have to do a special diet because of multiple organ issues. Unfortunately this app forces you to use a set amount of % for Protein, Carbs and Fats so unfortunately I cannot customize it to help me.

Great app / free version is good!The free version is awesome for calorie tracking. Put everything into one category breakfast/lunch/dinner instead of using all 3 and it will keep all most recent entries available for re selection. After a couple of weeks of finding your foods and getting a feel for it you can track your calories with extremely minimal time consumption. A $15 tiny scale (big enough to fit the bottom of a bowl you own) + this app allows for full calorie tracking. Tracking allows you to see what you are really consuming. If you aim to lose weight all you need to do is eat less than energy expelled. This app will allow you to pinpoint what’s messing it up if you aren’t achieving that goal. This app is my favourite out of many tried. A++++ we need more functional free apps like this, where you can pay for advanced features but the basics just work as expected.

MyPlate Calorie Counter Negative Reviews

Limited app; don’t bother with membershipThis app is useful for tracking calories, though MyFitness Pal has way more products in their database than My Plate. I had a hard time finding many of the things I eat in their database and ended up guessing a lot; their portion size presets mostly didn’t make sense with the foods I was trying to enter either. But if you just want to loosely track activities and what you are eating, this app will do the trick. However, I really do not recommend paying for the gold membership. They will send you one document that you can only read in the app, with information you can find anywhere on the Livestrong website. The Stronger challenge is also ridiculous—the grocery list for week one was about three pages long and so random. And the tracking macros feature didn’t work as far as I could tell. In the end I didn’t see how the gold membership provided any added improvement to the usefulness of the app or to my own efforts around fitness and nutrition. I contacted customer service to request to cancel my membership. The person who responded (three days later) gave me tips for viewing my membership. I wrote back to clarify that I wanted to cancel and still haven’t heard back; it’s now been three and a half weeks. Overall I would say don’t bother with this one..Disappointed_Customer123Version: 5.17.0

A little buggyNOTE: I am only marking this with one star to make sure the developer sees this message. The app deserves five stars (*****) which I will gladly change it to once the two following bugs are fixed. So I’ve been debating using this app or the LoseIt app. Personally I like the feel of this one more; however, I found a bug today that needs to be fixed. To reproduce the bug do the following: in the app select the exercise entry for the day. Type in an exercise and select one from the list (doesn’t matter what it is). Do not select “I did this” but rather click the back button until you get back to the original screen for the day. BUG#1: It has added it to your daily list regardless of canceling out of it. The secondary bug with this is that if you scroll down to your list and try to delete the exercise by selecting it BUG#2: there is no delete button on the following screen. What you would need to do at this point is close the app, re-open it, and then select the exercise you want to delete. As an iOS developer myself I know this is a quick and easy fix. I will be very happy to change the rating back to five once these bugs are fixed..Game Player 353Version: 5.14.7

Inappropriate NotificationsI downloaded this app to be more aware of what I eat and how that applies to my fitness goals. My overall goal isn’t just to lose weight, but to gain muscle and get more fit in general. However, this app is very much tailored to weight loss. My main concern is that I just received a notification to, quote, “track every bite you take today” and frankly, I find that insulting, inappropriate and unnecessary. As someone who has suffered from a very long term and damaging eating disorder, the last thing I need is for an application to trigger me back into an unhealthy mindset. This app heavily encourages you to “take control” and I feel that it’s almost trying to guilt me into driving my health down a dangerous path, as well as anyone else who might be susceptible to phrases like that. I know this is very common in diet culture and it absolutely does not need to be. Developers, I ask that you revise your notifications to be more neutral. I’ve already disabled them, but I’m also considering the well being of others. If MyPlate continues to make me feel guilty and unsafe, I’ll have to uninstall..Sun_JorVersion: 5.25.2

User since 2008UPDATE: MAJOR DATA LOSS. I just spent hours re-entering two months worth of workout information. I am absolutely done with this app and cannot recommend it to anyone. Recently the app has been extremely buggy in the most annoying ways possible. Every few days it kicks me out I have to re-login again. That’s not that big a deal, but every time I login all my information is gone and it takes a while for it to sink with the server to get the information back, and without fail every time I do all my activity calories burned for the past month is doubled and I have to go day by day and delete the duplicate entry. This happened again today and it’s been the worst time yet, because it has also randomly decided to stop including some of the calories I’ve eaten. I have 10 years worth of data from using this site, but I am currently looking for another calorie counting solution because this one is become extremely unreliable. I have emailed support twice and they told me they are aware of the bug and they are working on it, but there does not seem to be any progress..Sharp11GirlVersion: 5.14.3

Hate this appI give them total access to my personal info through my watch but then they’ll only share half of the figures I provide them back to me which means I either have to do algebra every time I want to determine what my calorie deficit is or pay them money to tell me the info I’m giving them thru my watch? So I go back and forth between different apps to get the values and do my math homework. Meanwhile after a few weeks having it set on “lose 2 lbs per week” just to see what it does - i see it’s wrong. It tells me how many calories I have left to eat but that amount of calories leaves me with an average daily deficit of only 500 calories - that’s one pound per week. Fitbit was so much better I never thought getting the Apple Watch would make this all so much more complicated and convoluted because I now have to rely on (and pay?????) crappy 3rd party apps like this one. On the hunt for an app that doesn’t hide my total calories or my calorie deficit behind a pay wall..Yeeeaya!!Version: 5.43.0

The barcode scanner is faultyEvery time I go to scan an item from my fridge that has a barcode it just tells me that the barcode cannot be read and then I have to search up the food… I thought it might be because of the specific food or brand . but it happens WITH EVERY BAR CODE.Teetee082Version: 5.39.0

Hiding Daily Macros Behind SubscriptionJust like MyFitness Pal, this app hides an incredibly basic, fundamental feature - macronutrient tracking, behind the subscription wall but doesn’t tell you until you create an account. They don’t tell you this until after you sign up. If I’d had known, I never would have downloaded it. They then package the macro feature with a ton of other stuff I’d never use. Nonsense..AveningVersion: 5.37.0

It is really not usefulCannot track vitamins and minerals, only macro nutrients like protein fat carbs… not useful for me at all. I am disappointed really..MinjarribVersion: 5.43.0

Measurements are an absolute messMeasurements are nonsensical. Nutrition data are too often false or contradictory. I can’t find a way to edit it without having to create a new food item altogether. PLEASE GET RID OF NON METRIC MEASUREMENTS: THEY ARE USELESS FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD OUTSIDE OF USA..MadeinthefreeworldVersion: 5.41.0

The depressing ads are driving me awayI have used this app for years, sometimes with a paid subscription, however recently I just can’t take the ads and am going to look for something else that has a more positive vibe and less privacy concerns..Qwerty876Version: 5.41.0

Developer doesn’t seem to test for glaring bugsLatest update as of this review date introduced new bug where if I try to track vitamin supplements by searching for them and tapping a search hit causes app to crash immediately. Also now when I tap a saved “meal” it asks EVERY TIME if I want to track it as individual items or one grouped item, adding extra unnecessary interactions to the process, completely unnecessary UX degradation.EdisonW_1979Version: 5.40.0

CHARGED ME WITHOUT KNOWINGI guess when I used this app in the past it didn’t cost anything. So, when I went to re download it I did not see the price, just the little cloud to re download. I was not aware or the cost and if I did I definitely wouldn’t have purchased it. I truly don’t understand how I was charged without being made aware!.Gabby42229Version: 5.39.0
