Calorie Counter PRO MyNetDiary Reviews

I've used this food diary on and off for years. It is easy to use and gets easier as time goes on. The bar scanner is super convenient and I have only discovered two or three food items the scanner did not recognize. You pair CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary with an inexpensive digital food scale and you will be able to count calories like a boss! Follow a good eating plan and measure everything and you will get results. I would advise that you set yourself up as a sedentary user no matter what level of activity you do. I am up and moving all the time and was racing bicycles a few years ago. The activity setting will give you a basic metabolic level which is the calorie count you need just to maintain your present weight. The sedentary category will give you the lowest "upper" calorie restriction. That's where you want to start and then limit calories below that. It will work! Last April I was at 184. Now it's September and I am at 165! CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary has been a tremendous teacher and watchdog for me. It reminds me to be careful about what I shove in my mouth and shows me the cost of the mindless grazing I used to do. We live in amazing times and CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary, while not perfect, has enriched my life and helped me healthy and happy. Get this. Don't cheat! Weigh everything and be patient. Move as much as you can. Don't forget that simple walking is a great thing. Good luck!

I’ve used a number of the diet trackers available on iOS over the years, and there’s always been something or other I’ve hated about them. I’ve used this one for a month now, and after the first few days, I’ve become very comfortable using it. The database is more reliable than MyFitnessPal’s, and the interface more attractive. The PRO version (one time payment) allows you to view net carbs, and is easily modified to accommodate most diet types.

What I don’t like: As far as the UI goes, only two things bug me. One is the shortcut names that CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary eventually brings up for foods you eat frequently—these names aren’t editable, and often aren’t logical or obvious. I’d prefer to be able to choose my own. The other issue is that nutrients tracked can’t be rearranged. On any given device, only so many columns are shown, and I would like to shift the column order so the things more important to my tracking are always in view.

The other reason for taking away one star from an otherwise excellent app: The price tag for Premium is about twice what I feel is reasonable. I’m not against developers getting paid for their work (my entire working career was in tech, as was my spouse’s), and I had no issue paying the flat rate to get the PRO app. I’d like some of the features, but if I paid the Premium price for every app I’d like to subscribe to, I’d quickly be broke. Perhaps an additional paid level with fewer benefits might attract more users?

Been using this for a while, if I write everything down and follow my diet plan I can drop weight consistently, and keep it off without crash dieting and rebound binging. I lost exactly as much weight as this said I would during one month.

I love the recipe function! I can put in all the ingredients and the serving size and it will tell me the nutrition and calories. Homemade bread, bean soups, pancakes, lasagna. This is a lifesaver for made from scratch items. Stores the recipe too! I can go back and tweak it or just use it as a recipe card to make it again.

This is my go to app for loosing baby weight. I log 500 cal/ day (as exercise) for breast feeding and don't have to worry if I'm over or under eating. Baby grows well while I loose consistently. I love how this keeps track of my dietary fiber and that I can just scan a barcode and it finds the food. Really easy to find my favorite foods once I've logged it once. I upgraded to max and now have my Fitbit linked to my account. Makes you realize how few calories you burn on a lazy day. Keeps me motivated to exercise more and I can eat a bit extra if I was more active that day. Love that I get a more accurate picture of my net calories.

I like the changes to the pro version but my overall assessment remains the same. I should be able to customize sodium, carbs, cholesterol, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sugar, etc. per meal or daily totals amount that I want to consume
I agree with Helpful......But. I have been using CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary on n off for several months. Overall I like CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary but continue to use my old app for tracking personal nutrients, i.e. sodium, sugar, etc. consumed and remainder. Because the pro version of CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary doesn’t allow u to personalize daily nutrient limits.
I like that it has an Apple Watch app and it sends data to Apple Health app.
It is easy to add food items. Unfortunately I haven’t figured out how to add a food item that I did not consumed but will consume at a later date. My old app which I continue to use is very easy to do. This issue has made loading food items I consume rarely very tedious. It is one of the reasons I haven’t switched over to CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary n continue to enter foods into two apps which is time consuming. I live on a fixed income and $8.99 per month just to track nutrients isn’t cost effective. I personally think it should have been included in the pro version upgrade. Especially since Free and cheaper apps include this feature. There are a lot of features I didn’t want and will never use but got with the pro upgrade.

I have been using CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary since 2013, for two diets, and it helped me lose 34 lbs. It is extremely useful. It has a surprisingly large library of supermarket products that can be scanned. There is a good amount of restaurant data too, and plenty of contributed data to give a ballpark for food that is not in the database. The search for food could use improvement because the order of words will matter - search for chicken souvlaki by plaka is not going to return the same result as plaka chicken souvlaki (it ain't google). I miss having a couple of features like unit conversion (kg-lb) and totals of daily nutrients (amount of daily carbs, for example). Also be aware that when switching between the free and the paid app the data does not get transferred, so it will have to be entered again. It would also be great to have a few extra reports like correlation between calories consumed and weight loss. That said, I recommend CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary as a great way to lose or maintain weight and spot problem foods that are stalling weight loss. Also on those discouraging days it is great to look at the graphs and see how far I have come, and project future weight to a target date.

I really enjoy using MyNetDiary. It allows one to easily track foods they are eating and measures what was eaten in coordination with the goal the user sets. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary is full of features which provide detailed nutrition data, including carb intake and daily details of nutrients by food, meal and totals of them for each day. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary also displays data from other health apps for things such as the numbers of steps taken, weight and other data. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary allows users to enter other data and has an exceptional scanner that provides easy entry of foods to be eaten in addition to manually enter them. You can move or copy foods from one day to another, mark favorites and provides suggestions of possible foods as the user enters the foods they are eating. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary monitors a users’ sodium intake and provides other informative charts, the ability to compile the data in a report for the user and others and much more. There is access to a library of articles on weight planning, calories and nutrients. This is an excellent, versatile and very user friendly way to keep track of ones intake of food and drink.

I’ve been using this wonderful app since 2011! It was great to begin with if only a little clunky in places. Well, they have steadily improved it with each update! Everything runs smooth and there’s greater and greater functionality every time. Not only do the actual tracking functions work very well and intuitively, the wealth of health and fitness information provided is really impressive and useful. It feels very well thought out and based on nothing more than sound science and proven methods and tactics to either lose, gain or maintain a healthy body composition. Which reminds me of another great thing about CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary: it is so flexible in terms of what purposes it serves to each individual. You can use it strictly to track your nutrition, your weight, fitness, special dietary needs, your body composition and circumference measurements, or any combination of these. Or, you can use the incredibly detailed information pages to learn, if you are just starting your nutrition and/or fitness journey. There’s definitely something for everyone here.

A while ago, I started using MyFitnessPal as my first calorie counter app and don’t get me wrong it’s a great app, but it fueled my eating disorder I was recently diagnosed with. That app gave me negative negative reminders if I went over my “carb limit” or my “fat limit” and I couldn’t type in the fact I was 13 so I had to put 18 years old so it gave me false information anyway. I got so obsessed with that app that It was unhealthy it would make me feel so guilty about eating carbs, fat, etc. My moms friend introduced me to CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary and I thought it was going to be exactly the same as my fitness pal but it’s so much better and really promotes so much more healthier habits. First of all, it gives you more calories to work with, it lets you customize what you want to track, and it tells you the actual nutrients and a grade for the food so you can feel good about what you eat. Love this so much because it doesn’t trigger my eating disorder and even though recovering from ED you really shouldn’t count your calories but I’m only counting them just to make sure I eat well and enough :))) ❤️

I had 2 goals: to lose weight and to make sure as a vegan that I was getting the nutrients I need in the process. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary tracks calories, macronutrients, and you can set it to track other things such as fiber, sugar, vitamins, etc. It is easy to use, and it has just about every food brand and restaurant in its database already so there’s very little you have to input. You can scan the barcode of packaged food or just search. It is completely customizable, keeps track of your goals, progress, readjusts your recommended calories as needed. It syncs with my Apple Watch and other fitness trackers to keep track of steps and exercise, and my watch reminds me to log my meals. I recommend paying for the pro version, as the upgrades are very helpful but try the free one first to get a feel for it. It also suggests articles to read as you learn about nutrition, that explain the numbers it gives you. I had no idea a “diet” app could be this good! 5 enthusiastic stars!

I have so many good things I could say about CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary but I'd end up writing a novel on it. I've been a long time MFP user but no more. Love the user interface of CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary. Layout is easy to follow and finding things was a cinch. It syncs with Apple HealthKit. I just love that it has the Apple Watch app as well and you can log on the fly as needed. This is a huge plus here. The exercise tracking portion was a little confusing but I figured that out. It was just user error. Maybe consider combining the gps app into this one so its all in one location. Just my opinion. So far no issues and everything syncs just fine. I even sync'd my Withings scale to it and that's another plus. I like keeping data all in one centralized app and CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary pretty much does that. I ended up deleting 3 or 4 other apps since this takes their place. Big kudos for the diabetic addition. The recent update is fantastic and the layouts are very user friendly. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary is worth it. Keep up the great work devs!!

Easy to use. I highly recommend CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary. It can be used for simply following carbs or the latest fad diet, or for tracking specific nutrients. I check my numbers 24/7, and adjust for what I'm lacking (fiber, protein, calcium, etc.) or back off of what I have too much of (calories, salt, fat). It's a real eye opener when I get such accurate data. I can monitor the days when I have enough in my diet and supplement only when I need it. Its brilliant that the nutrition info is laid out in the exact format as all our food packaging. Two improvements: 1. It should follow the 1 to 100 NuVal (Nutritional Value) system of rating foods (rather than their confusing -5 to +5).
2. It should take multiple users. I would love to track my children's food to get accurate info about the nutrients they are getting.
Update: when I use CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary I loose weight. When I don't I gain. I joined weight watchers for an experiment, but used CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary instead because I hated theirs so much.

CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary is pretty close to perfect. I look forward to tweaks in logging exercise and the “My Meals” part of Manage My Foods could be a little more intuitive (or maybe I’m just a doofus), but my wife and I have both been using CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary religiously for about a month, and can’t remember how we lived without it. I especially love the way it tracks ALL nutrients, so I know when, for instance, I’m low on potassium, or am getting too much protein. Logging foods, including vitamins!, by barcode is absolutely awesome.

We had our doubts about this being worth the subscription rate, but at the current price it’s a good value.

UPDATE! Per CDC recommendations re COVID-19, we’ve stocked up and are staying in. MyNetDiary has become very useful for planning meals and recipes based on our stock of non-perishables. We’re much better able to estimate what we’ll need, and how long what we have will last, while keeping us well-nourished and healthy.

My wife an I started using CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary during Lent to help lose some weight. I've lost 16lbs my wife the same. I actually lost 21 but got an infected gall bladder and had to have it removed. So with emergency surgery and recovery of 6-8 weeks I gained back to only 10lbs. lost. But once I recovered, I started losing again and both my wife and I are on track to lose the weight we wanted and keep it off. In my case I'm going to drop 50lbs by the end of this year and 50 more next year. My wife is trying to thin down by 35lbs this year and the same the next. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary is helping us do this! Little by little, calories in, calories out together we work, play, spoil the grandkids, go to church and everything else while we watch how much we eat. We even bought a food scale to help in the process.

We recommend it to all the people who say, "you've lost weight" "How?"

Overall, this is definitely a 5-star app. The usability and polish of CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary is great. They have it well laid out and I really like how your main “home screen” in CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary is highly customizable to whatever things you prefer to track. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary also allows you store recipes in CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary for easier tracking when you eat similar things regularly. One thing that could make CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary over the top for paid pro clients could be to allow you to click on which “recipes” or foods you’d like to add for the week and then have it tally it all and create you a grocery list. This would then be an all-encompassing app that really gets buy-in and frequent use from its users, while also creating additional benefits of paying for the upgraded version. (Would also set you even further apart from apps like MyFitness Pal). Definitely recommend.

I’ve had diabetes for over 10 years; CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary makes it very easy to see the carb count in a meal, and how much of a “carb allowance” you have left in a day (in addition to fat and other things). The tips and tricks are also very helpful, as are the motivational articles. Being able to link CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary with my fitness tracker is also very helpful. If you want to, it’ll even help you track your blood sugar.

The one feature I’d love to see? Being able to import and edit recipes from websites. I’ve found many low-carb recipes online that I’d love to have in my arsenal - but I have to enter them manually. Right now I do that because my health is important to me ... but I could see a person being turned off CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary because they can’t do that. This is why I rated it four stars.

Overall the money spent on the premium version has been worth it. It’s helped me make better food choices, and see exactly what I did incorrectly and what choices I could make in the future to avoid mistakes.

I’ve returned to CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary after many years of not tracking calories. This updates to the look and functionality of CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary are great, but the design of one aspect of the user interface are really frustrating... the arrows that take you back to the daily calorie overview (dashboard) and to the previous day are vertically stacked and right next to each other. Once you switch to a previous day, CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary stays on that day, and I often find that I have entered today’s items on a previous day. If you are entering items for a preset meal block (breakfast, lunch, dinner) every entry for that block receives the same time stamp - even if entered days later. So, it is very difficult to diagnose and correct a mistake. There does not seem to be a way to lock entries for previous days, or even a simple warning that you are doing so. I would love to give CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary 5 stars, but with such a frustrating and easily fixed problem unfortunately it looses a star from me.

It just keeps getting better! CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary has been a huge asset I would be lost without it !! I have an ongoing diet issue, and have lost a lot of weight. I am sure that my success was in a huge way because of CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary. I have depended on it to keep me on track, and it really does !

I still need to concentrate on maintenance, so will continue the constant use of CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary to stay on track.

I live an extremely busy life, with an intense professional career. It is so easy to use, the food database is enormous, and is particularly intuitive and easy to use on the fly, so I can rely on it to show me exactly where I stand every day as far as what I have eaten, what else I need to eat, and when I can't eat any more. I could not have kept track without this product.

The author keep making updates to make it even better and to give it new features.

I have tried a variety of weight management tools. This one is the hands' down winner. The food database is enormous and it is easy to add custom items. To have all the bells and whistles adds some cost, but for those who want a cutting edge tool, more than worth it. I use it constantly - it gives me constant support for what I can or can't eat. Without the constant support/ reinforcement, there are many days I would have exceeded the limits I have set, because it is so easy to miscalculate.

CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary has been the best helper for me with my weight loss. I’ve done weight watchers and Atkins and south beach; none of them have worked for long. But CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary teaches me how to eat, when you enter a food/meal it will tell you how much of your daily needs for each nutrient have been met so you know if you have had too many carbs and not enough protein. I also love that you can customize what you see on the home screen and that it has a widget to enter things on the fly. It calculates BMI and notes on your weight loss chart when you’ve reached certain milestones in your weight loss. I also love that when you gain weight back it doesn’t say or mark anything as negative. I lost 50 lbs using CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary, then I was hospitalized and on a lot of steroids and ended up gaining back 20; it gave me tips and ideas to get back on track the entire time. It’s just an all around magnificent weight loss app!

I have tested every calorie tracking app recommended under Apple Health for tracking calories and steps. Several calorie tracking apps only use the iPhone motion sensor for tracking steps and doesn’t read steps from Apple Health. MyNetDiary does, which works since I have a non-standard step tracker that works great. So many apps don’t get the user experience. MyNetDiary does. I have to say, the barcode scanner works great. I love that I can customize the dashboard. I like that I can set limits for the nutrients that I want to track. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary has a lot of features and I would never go back to any of the other apps that I’ve tested. CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary is my new companion. I’m not dieting, I’m maintaining a lifestyle change. Just like you should always track your financial budget, you should always track your caloric intake. Too easy to wander out of control if you aren’t paying attention.

I’ve lost over 20 pounds, there were a lot of factors, but I don’t think I could have done it without CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary. I always thought that the calorie intake/weight loss mathematics must be too complicated of a system to work as simply as it did. Turns out that was me wanting to stay in denial about needing less calories than I wanted. I eat whatever I want, I just count it. I definitely make wiser choices in general, and have had a needed attitude adjustment about portion size. I feel and look so much better! I chose to pick the calorie needs if I was my ideal weight and was sedentary, about 1700/day. That was sustainable long enough to see awesome results and provided the practice of long term habits I will keep. Now when I ‘relax‘ and don’t count, I still come pretty close to less than 2000 calories most days. I can’t imagine not having CalorieCounterPROMyNetDiary!!
