If you’re unsure of how to make that choice, please consult your health-care professional, so he or she can help navigate your individual case.Īs a MyFitnessPal user, you understand that calories and macronutrients (Think: carbohydrates, fat and protein) are critical for success. Others take supplements out of medical necessity such as correcting a nutrient deficiency.
Some of us voluntarily seek out supplements to enhance our current health, prevent future issues or improve physical appearance. (However, like most experts, I recommend you improve your eating habits before considering supplements.) Depending on your lifestyle, you may or may not be able to obtain all these nutrients from food. In addition to carbohydrates, protein and fat, our amazing body requires dozens of vitamins and minerals to function properly. The Food and Drug Administration defines a dietary supplement as something taken to add nutritional value on top of the foods you eat on a regular basis.
The answer depends on what type and how many supplements you’re taking as well as how much of a stickler you are. I did like the way the app memorized my earlier food choices and portions so that listing foods became easier with use.Do you take dietary supplements? If you use MyFitnessPal to track nutrition, you may wonder whether you should even bother to log any dietary supplements you take. I did find I could go on the Internet and find more detailed listings for calories burned by various exercises, especially those that might be a little out of the ordinary. Of course, then I ate more than I thought and gained back some of what I lost.
I got discouraged and quit using the app. After a few months my weight plateaued, no matter what I did. If I wanted to lose 1 pound a week I had to tell it I wanted to lose 2 or more pounds per week, even though I believe I was being accurate with the listing of my food consumption. I used Lose It! on my iPhone for several months.
