What is your calorie tracking app?

Get a food scale and measure everything for a few days, storing the information in an app like Cronometer.

Super cool!People interested in this should also give SnapCalorie a try. Can help with the tracking side of the equation.

This is different than the style of ai calorue app that extrapolates caloric content from pictures of your food. That kind is gimmicky BS
