MyFitnessPal

MyFitnessPal requires you to sign up with an email. You start by inputting your details such as weight, height and target weight. One of the main features of this app is that it has a database containing nutrition information on a vast number of foods which makes calorie counting much easier. You also log all your exercise and the app will calculate how many calories you have consumed and burned each day. This will quickly tell you if you need to eat less or exercise more.

Fitness Pro

Fitness Pro is more geared to setting workout schedules and providing you with exercises to follow as part of a fitness workout. If you are unsure about how to exercise this app is certainly for you. It would also work very well if you combined Fitness Pro with one of the food / calorie tracking apps to better manage your diet and exercise.

This app is actually quite similar to MyFitnessPro. You start by entering your details and then from there log all food eaten and exercise done. It provides daily and weekly reports to help you to monitor your progress. If you sign up you can then create a profile to share with fitness friends. It is has a clean interface and is very easy to use.

Calorie Counter for iPhone

This is a basic app to measure your daily calorie deficit (hopefully a deficit and not a surplus!). You input your meals and exercises and also your current weight. The app will track how many calories you need each day and how this affects your weight loss. By signing up you can also join their community which helps to provide you with moral support and motivation. You can connect your Facebook profile to the app for easier access and sharing.

There are many other apps for the iPhone, however, these 4 meet the needs of most people. The key is to keep using your app and to always remember to input the data as soon as you can to avoid forgetting.
