Lose It review

Lose It is built for people whose goal is weight loss first and macro detail second. After a short profile it calculates a daily calorie budget and a weight loss schedule, and the free tier covers calorie and exercise tracking, the weight loss plan and support groups. Its App Store listing cites a global food database of 56+ million items and recipes, the largest count published by any app in this list, although that figure includes recipes. Fast logging is a strength: you can say a meal out loud, take a photo or scan a barcode, but all three sit in Premium, alongside macro and micronutrient tracking, fasting and meal targets. The vendor says more than 57 million people have used it since 2008. We could not confirm a clear USD Premium price with its billing period from the vendor's own pages, so check the price inside the app before subscribing.
