SYNOPSIS
This app is a food and fitness diary for users trying to lose, maintain or gain weight. Nutrition tracking includes total calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber and protein. The app is a companion tool for members of The Daily Plate at www.livestrong.com.
BOTTOM LINE
This app stands out because of its large food database and is valuable to people who want to track their food and fitness. I would recommend this app because of this benefit alone.
