It’s time for the annual “look how much weight I gained over the holidays 😞”, and New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Does anyone use a food and exercise tracker app on their Android device? How is your experience with it?

    I really like the Weight Watchers app. I think there’s a free version, but I paid a couple bucks for the premium version.

    Avoid MyFitnessPal. It was once great but has succumbed to horrible business practices.

    Edit: I also like SHYE (See How You Eat) as it’s encouraging to look back over the past week and see a rainbow of healthy foods.

      I was using MyFitnessPal, but now enshittified, which is why I’m asking.

      MyFitnessPal had a problem with anorexic using the app to compare their disordered eating in competition. From there it went downhill fast.

        IIRC, they paywalled a bunch of previously-free features

          Additionally, there’s been many reports of MFP charging users for the paid version despite never signing up for it.
