Very nice UI and easy to use – Ate Food Journal + Photo Diary Review

I usually don’t review these kind of things, but I’ve been using this the past few days and the app should get more credit than it has now. I love this app and used a few apps like fitnessblender or lose it. This is the best app for you if you are a chronic snacker or you eat standing. They make it so that the most convenient way for you to log your food is take a picture of it so you have to pause and look at what you’re eating. The app also has a built-in timer that counts how long it’s been since you’ve last eaten, which encourages you to first reflect on if you’re hungry before you take a picture and munch on something you might not even be hungry for. In general, I found this the most user-friendly and there is no headache of having to log in food on MyFitnessPal or counting macros. You snap a quick picture and get on with your day. If you missed the picture then you can just write down what you ate. After (if you have time), you can reflect on your experience eating it. I also LOVE the app icon because it’s very attractive and it doesn’t scream “I’M ON A DIET.” Tl;dr: This is for you if you’re: - learning how to intuitively eat - a chronic snacker - trying to eat better (e.g. I have to think twice about grabbing that chocolate from the pantry because then I have to take a picture and admit to myself that I ate it) - willing to snap quick pictures - trying to intermittent fast - like looking back at historic statistics of your habits (they have how long on average you wait to eat, average fasting time, average meals) May not be for you if: - you want to be educated in nutritional profiles of food (e.g. granola is laden with sugar) - you eat like very few (1-3) and VERY large meals and need more help portion controlling - you have a specific goal of cutting or adding a lot of calories in a short amount of time - you go out to eat with clients a lot or maybe you never have your phone with you Hope this helps! Will update when I discover more. :)
