<p>i'm tracking my food intake right now because i just switched to PHD and am trying to gauge my new macro breakdown till i get more used to this way of eating.</p> <p>i'm not a fan of fitday, because i think it takes to long to load the searches for food items, and am now playing around with dailyburn, which isn't bad, except that i get annoying emails telling me i'm "overconsuming" or "missing" certain nutrients. also, their breakdown always gets annoyed at me for all the fat i eat. it's so annoying to look at! any other trackers out there that are more 'paleo/primal-friendly'?</p>

<p>My Fitness Pal. You can set your own macro goals. It has a bar code scanner and a multi add feature for meals with multiple ingredients. MFP also has a pretty good fitness tracker with it. I think it is a lot more user friendly. </p>

<p>I suggest you use the PH search box. Just type tracking and a number of threads with good options comes up.</p>

<p>I switched from fitday to cronometer two days ago. No complaints with cronometer so far. It tracks more things than fitday, the only thing it tracks that fitday doesn't that I actually care about are PUFAs though. The iphone app design is much cleaner too.</p> <p>Edit: Also you can change the required daily amount for things so you could set everything to more paleo friendly values.</p>

<p>We just launched an app where you can get nutrition info from real food. Check it out at <a href="http://www.foodsnap.mobi" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodsnap.mobi</a></p>

<p>I've been using My Fitness Pal, which is also nice because it has a phone app the syncs with the online version, and the food database is considerably huge.</p> <p>What I don't like about it is that it is calorie based. But you can look at the values that primal/paleo folks generally want to know about - carbs, fat, protien and some of that other stuff that's on a standard nutritional info label.</p> <p>I just tried to enter my whole day of meals on Cronometer.</p> <p>I love that it tracks all your aminos, it looks at a ton of different kinds of "lipids" instead of just "fat", you set up goals and stuff, but what's really annoying is how small the food database is.</p> <p>what is especially annoying about this is that when you go paleo, you end up reaching for all kinds of non-standard foods. For example, I found this amazing treat for my mini indulgences - coconut cacao mousse. Ingredients: coconut milk, raw cacao, dates, carob &amp; "spices". But the stuff on Cronometer is mostly just standard.</p> <p>You can enter new foods on Cronometer, but you have to research all the food values. Very time consuming. With My Fitness Pal all I did was SCAN IT! It was actually IN the database! I have found many of my favorite organic foods and off brands in their database. I wish they would just team up with someone like Cronometer so we could benefit from their combined knowledge.</p> <p>Maybe a combo of Cronometer and this Foodsnap from that last post will help us grow the Cronometer database.</p>

<p>I'm a huge fan of Cron-o-meter, they have pre-made macros but you can also set your own macro goals and even micro-nutrient goals can be edited. I made the switch from Fitday a few weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. The iphone app could use a little improving. I find it irritating that I have to sign in every time I use it, but other than that it's great. The databases are good too and I like the recipe builder feature. </p>

<p>Oooh! I just found DietMaster for android. This one is for serious geeks tho. It lacks in smooth user interface &amp; cuteness but it's super thorough if all you want to do is track your NUTRIENTS! <a href="http://diet-master-app.android.informer.com" rel="nofollow">http://diet-master-app.android.informer.com</a></p> <p>It doesn't care about your calorie intake, tho it does calculate it. It doesn't care what your goals are. </p> <p>It will tell you how much of each nuetrient the USDA thinks you should consume which is annoying sometimes and useful at others.</p> <p>It will tell you what foods will give you which nuetrients.</p> <p>Here is a partial list of nutrients it tracks: a-linolenic acid, vit k, c, d, all the b's, e, a, water, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, cholesterol, saturated fats, sugars of different types, carbs, sodium, potassium, manganese, folate, calcium, amino acids/protiens, DHA, etc. etc.</p> <p>You can check your daily, weekly &amp; monthly intake of each nutrient.</p> <p>The think I dislike about this one is that it doesn't have supplements in it's database.</p> <p>I like MyFitnessPal's database and the fact that you can sync with an online account, but I dislike how few nutrients it tracks.</p>
