the best diet app for iPhone and Android ~ Step By Step

If you need to lose a few pounds, watching what you eat sounds like common-sense advice.

But it's easy to lose track when you're totting up calorie counts in your head and telling yourself that one more biscuit won't make much difference.

Luckily, there's no need for complicated calorie counting books, or expensive, time-consuming meetings - you just need to find the App that's right for you. Pick the one that best fits your needs and goals, and keep yourself on the straight and narrow. We're feeling leaner already…

MyFitnessPal

Free

MyFitnessPal is by far our favourite diet app - we can hardly believe it's free. When you add your personal stats (height, age, sex, weight, target weight and so on) the app will work out how many calories you can consume each day to hit your target in the timeframe you specify.

You record what you eat each day and input your activity. The app then tots ups what you've consumed and expended to count your net calories. It also plots your weight loss in a handy graph and lets you add friends too, making the whole thing more fun.
