Which app do you use to track your calories /fit/.
Are they actually that helpful?
Lose it bar none. Myfitnesspal is an inaccurate joke in comparison.

Yeah agree, I installed lose it because I gained weight following mfp been using lose it for a week and half' lost 2 pounds already but I'm going to start trying that sparkpeople too. I'm a bit hesitant because it says I should be consuming more calories than what lose it recommended (985)

I don't know man, bulking is just getting fat, just buy the food you like most so you can over eat every time thus easily going above your maintenance calorie intake.
But if you can set lose it to gain certain amount of weight per week

Just set up an account, they don't go above maintenance
Looks like a nice app but it wasn't made for a skelly like me
Both way over estimate calorie burn.

I feel like this too. I'm currently 125 lbs and trying to get to 115 but no luck with this apps. And I've been autistically scanning, reading and weighting everything.
I use myfitnesspal
You can set your own calorie and macro goals, which is ideal. So if you know your own maintenance then it is perfect.
Shows you a breakdown of how much of which macro you have consumed, how much remaining to reach your daily target, and also shows you percentages in a pie chart.
I would imagine most other apps of this kind do the exact same, though. The main thing about mfp is being able to set your own goals instead of being very muscular at 8% but the app thinks your maintenance is 2100 calories and won't let you change it.. lol. I've experienced that with a few other apps.

Thanks I didn't know you could change the calorie limit to your preferences I'll give it another go

None, just get a journal or pen and paper and count your macros.
I use a scale and a calculator to make sure i hit my macros for each day.

For some reason I think the FOSS community doesn't have fitness apps at the top of their to-do list
Why is this necessary? Just calculate a diet plan and stick to it.

Is not necessary but it makes things easier if you're not very nutrion knowledgeable
