Fitness Apps that help you?

RunGo. I use it a lot. Not to track my runs, which it does, but to give me turn by turn directions.

Maybe you should ask your wife. She’s really into fitness. Fitness this.. nevermind

I actually really like the Fitbit app for tracking movement and weight. i have an old arse Fitbit One step tracker and a Fitbit scale with data in app since 2014.

I have been meaning to get an Apple Watch at some point but I always buy more lifting stuff instead :)

I use a fitbit as I wear a FitBit Sense, just not a fan of some of the features like logging food and feel that it isn't always accurate.

MacroFactor for diet

For lifting if you have android, ultimate531

I just you pen and paper 90% of the time

SmartWOD for intervals or just timing elements of workout.

When I do my sled work, I add weight every 2min and this really helps.

I also like to use it for normal lifts to keep my rest/work consistent.

Anyone use or have knowledge of Carbon app? This is Layne Norton’s diet tracking app. Looks to be $10/month and less if you do 6 or 12 months. Sounds like there is active coaching involved. I was thinking about signing up.

Any of those let you set your own macros and track it the way you want similar to my fitness pal?

I've found mapmyrun to not be registering anything lately, set it and Nike+ at the same time. After an hour Mapmyrun had me at 0.01 miles while Nike+ had me at 3.42

not any of those. they are diet coaches as in they give you a generic macros based off age, weight, activity level bf% etc

then they ask you to log everything adn be compliant and input your weight 2-7x times per week and over time it adjust your macros

macrofactor will adjust even if you are not compliant based off the log and weight so even if you are not compliant the system is learning your metabolism.

RP is the strictest by far

carbon doesnt do anything if you are non compliant, essentially its just like layne and just yells at you to get compliant

avatar has prolly the most features but imo its not supported nearly as much now that MF and carbon have come out. it allows quite a bit of adjustment in macros based off inputs

if you are just looking for inputting and manually adjusting macros, these are not for you. find a free app to do that.
