If the specific brand is not listed, I can either pick from the foods that are not brand specific, or I am able to create a customized entry based off of the calories, carbohydrates, fat, and protein. This has helped me log even when I’m on the go and don’t have a lot of time, which is great for any nurse that feels that there is not enough time in the day.

The food log has been great because there are a wide variety of foods from many recognized brands, and this has allowed me to log quite efficiently and accurately. I also had access to articles, workouts, and recipes on the MyFitnessPal blog located on the home page of the app. Main features of the app include a food diary, weight log, step log, and the data from each can be translated into a graph for a visual representation of your progress towards your goals. Once I had created an account, the set-up process prompted me to set goals and the app helped keep track of my progress.

MyFitnessPal is a free app with various features to aid users trying to live healthier lifestyles.
