Any of you use the my fitness pal app with your Fitbit?

I don't have a Fitbit cause I'm not an overweight housewife.


Hope that helps you out

Used MyFitnessPal for years.

It's always a treat to watch people trying to lose or gain weight first track calories and go "wow I never knew I ate that much or not enough"

I don't have a Fitbit but I've been using myfitnesspal. I like it for all the other nutritional trackers like sodium and sugars that are harder to track than calories. After about a month I can already feel benefits from eating cleaner and it's very directly benefited from being able to track it.

I use it on my iphone. I just use is to track macros.

I don't have a Fitbit because I don't really have a need to track steps. If you manage your macros and calories, why would you need to track steps. Cardio is only necessary if you operate at a caloric surplus. Why would you do that if you're trying to lose weight?

I think fitbit is just a gimmick for people who want to wear it because it's trendy, OR for overweight people to help them feel better about themselves. If you're legit fat you need to do more than track steps. You need to change your diet. If you lift and are trying to cut, just operate at a caloric deficit, say 300-500 less calories than maintenance per day for 2-3 months.

I think people will look back 10 years from now and laugh at how people used to walk around tracking "steps."

I love people who have a skewed view of what healthy is (I'm not pretending to be healthy, I eat like crap). But people are so worried about body image, when the fact that most people can't run a 5k is simply laughable. We are so sedentary, peoplr on average can't jog for 30 minutes. We resort to counting steps (basically just not sitting) as physical activity.

Trump will fix that

This too! In the last 2 months I've gotten enough "points" from my Fitbit for a $75 target gift card!

Make sure you sync your Fitbit
