My Fitness Pal - Does It Work?

My Fitness Pal is a an app that's been around for awhile. According to it's website, over 40 million people have lost weight with this app! Sounds great right? So does it live up to the hype? Today we are going to go over a quick review of this app.

What is My Fitness Pal?

My Fitness Pal is an app that is available for Iphone (sorry, Android and Windows phone fans) that works as a calorie counter. Basically you just put in your height, weight, daily activity, and your weight loss goals. The app then calculates how many calories you should eat a day, and tells you how much time it will take for you to hit your goals.

It's even better than that though. Before you eat a food scan the bar code with your Iphone and My Fitness Pal will put all of the nutritional information into a nutrition journal that it creates for you. This makes counting calories a breeze, plus it keeps track of your macro nutrients.

Still not good enough? You can put in your exercises as well, and it will calculate the amount of calories that you've burned and recalculate the amount of calories that you can eat. This way you know you're getting the exact amount of calories that you need, in order to start losing weight.

But does it work?

Yes, My Fitness Pal works extremely well. It's good old calorie counting, the same thing that you've seen for years, the same thing that fitness experts have always been using. All you have to do is follow what it tells you, it takes all of the tough guesswork out of the equation for you.

That's why I love My Fitness Pal, whenever I start a new workout program, I use it for all of my nutrition. The best part is logging in your new weight and sharing it with all of your friends to see, it's a great way to stay motivated.

Anything else?

Another great thing about My Fitness Pal is the community. They have a forum full of bright users who have achieved their fitness goals, and newer people who are just getting started. If you have any questions or need some motivation, they can help you out.

Okay great, but how much does it cost?

Want to know the best part? It's FREE! That's right, Free, no more paying thousands of dollars for an expensive nutritional program that may work. It's just as great as many nutritional books that I've bought for 20$ or more, plus it's easier to use since it does all of the work for you. Trust me, if you have an Iphone, you'll want this program.

Anything else I could use?

I also recommend using helpful supplements, for instance if you are going to do crossfit I would recommend some good protein for crossfit. Likewise I would recommend using tried and true companies such as progenex to supply for any protein needs.
