Choose Lose It! if…
Beginners who want a gentle on-ramp to calorie tracking. Lose It! is the app we hand to someone who has never tracked before. The onboarding is gentle, the design is friendly, and the price is fair. It will not satisfy data hawks, but as a confidence-building first tracker it does its job well.
Full Lose It! review →Choose MyFitnessPal if…
People who want to find almost any packaged food instantly. MyFitnessPal still wins on raw database size and barcode coverage, and it is the app most of your friends already use. But crowd-sourced data makes accuracy unreliable unless you vet entries yourself, and the value equation has slipped as more features moved behind a steep paywall.
