Lose It! – Weight Loss Program and Calorie Counter

Lose It! is one of the best apps out there to count calories.
Millions have already fallen in love with it, including myself. The user
interface is simple, yet still stunning. There is already a database of
food and activity, but you can still add yours as a custom entry if you
cannot find what you are looking for. You can even set up recipes for
more complex foods. This app also includes a barcode scanner so that you
can log packaged foods without the hassle of typing out information
from the box. You can use Lose It! with or without an internet
connection. If you set up a free account on LoseIt.com you gain access
to even more features!
