Discover your fitness Pal - Calorie counter and Diet Tracker

The logic behind Calorie-counting is simple.  Measure what you put into the body, measure what energy you burn and ensure figures adds up in line in your favour. This popular app takes the hassle out of that process. Users can scan food using a barcode to add calories to a daily sum. If your food doesn’t have a barcode, it might already be in the database. You can add regular meals with a tap of a button (handy if your breakfast is always the same) and input your exercise routine. Sticking with the app for a few weeks can be life-changing.

Price:  free

Platform: Apple iOS, Google Android, windows phone, Blackberry.
