Fitness app alternatives to MFP

[PapaFit]

I've had the Charge 2 and now the Versa with no issues from either. However, MyFitnessPal has me so frustrated I'm about ready to throw everything out a window. MFP just decides to stop syncing and I have to go through several processes of deleting and re-installing the app, deleting and re-installing the Versa, etc. and MFP still won't sync. What other fitness apps do you use to sync activity results and food intake?

@PapaFit Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Let me help you with your MFP syncing issues and thank you for troubleshooting this issue. I suggest you try MFP official instructions to unlink and relink both accounts. From Fitbit's side please go to the website and revoke MFP access then do this from MFP side following the previous link and then relink them. After this see if they sync. To be honest MFP is a great app with great food logging options but you could check some alternatives here.

Let me know how it goes.

I recently switched to Cronometer ( https://cronometer.com/ ) mostly because I found MFPs database to be often inaccurate and it provided only very basic nutrients information.

Cronometer is much better, at least for me. Cronometer doesn't have as many packaged foods in its database as MFP, but uses a host of official databases, like USDA, NCCDB, etc.. These databases are much more accurate than what you see in MFP and also provide a lot more nutrient information (like Omega-3, Omega6, all essential vitamins, including B12 and B6 and a much more detailed fats profile).

Cronometer has people manually check custom user entries before it includes them in its database, so its entries are much more accurate. I found that I don't enter brand names for a lot of produce, since companies are required to provide only limited label info, but instead I enter the generic product (e.g., oatmeal, steel-cut) and then I get the NCCDB info, which lists a pretty complete profile of nutrients (standard is 76).

If you eat a lot of whole foods, Cronometer is way, way better than MFP.

I'll take a look at it. Thanks very much.

I followed the instructions, but with no success. I'm going to try Cronometer. Thank you for your help.
