I use cronometer because I try to meet my micronutrients and want to know where I fail. I do love this site though. Most of the people here are awesome and all of the sites have their share of creeps.  

MorticiaAddams; I’m not leaving this app, however the thought did cross my mind recently with all the trolls and body shaming comments by them on other accounts, it’s very sad.  

i use my fitness pal 

If I see someone being mean I block them. I use FS, is tracks my net carbs & macros for me 😊 

Don't leave Rob ...I think we have all considered leaving but for me the pros outweigh the cons. Yes there are trolls and sometimes people that say not so nice things but there are also lots of genuine like minded people on here as well. You ultimately need to do what's best for you but you would be missed.  

@ LambiPi; I do the same but it’s disappointing and disheartening that people are so cruel and mean to others; but it’s the world we live in. @Diana 1234, I’m not planning to leave, its just sad to see the cruelty of some people who are trolling.  

I'm only on FS and I have seriously selective engagement levels on this site, and really, at all times, with all matters of life. 💙  

Also, Rob, the fact that cruelty bothers you, is such a good reason for you to stay and contribute in your always-beautiful fashion. We appreciate you all the more for the kindness only you can bring. 💙 

dont give no mind to the trolls and stay here, by leaving you are giving the trolls what they want..I just ignore them they DONT MATTER 

Thanks you all for your comments and support and suggestions; I’m not leaving this site. Both Unity and Joe said it best; I can only continue to be kind to all; and even though the trolls and body shames are on here; it continues to shown this community is strong and if we as a community stand together we will be stronger than those who use hurtful words on other accounts to make themselves feel better about themselves, all it shows is immaturity and disgrace on them.  

I've used MyFitness Pal in the past but Fat Secret seems to work better for me in tracking my weight and calories. 

I don’t read the comments. Din’t feed the trolls. 

I tried myfitness pall but FatSecret was better for me so came back 

The anonymous trolls peruse journals with food photos. (I’m not a fan of food pics, and don’t understand why dieters want to show everyone proof of their unhealthy diet choices and huge portion sizes, but whatever 🤷‍♀️). If you just write your thoughts, the trolls scroll on by. 

I've used MyFitnessPal since 2009 and love it. This is supplemental. 

I like the food pictures. I’m new to Keto carb diet and get ideas. I know I need to measure and make change to fit me. 

Fitbit to track exercise  

I use FS to track my calorie intake and record my weight. I use Fitbit to track my calorie output. It captures my weight and body fat from my bathroom scale and also tracks my sleep, the distance I walked, steps, and active minutes... 

I have Fitbit premium through my insurance, and I use their app to track meals. It's more accurate to track calories in and calories out. I use FS sometimes to stay familiar with the meals app. 

At the top of this feed page, there is a very small print “show activity from: 🔻” this might narrow your feed page somewhat.
