Choosing the best app for you can be difficult. There are so many out there that offer similar services and each has unique features that set it apart from the crowd. The best way to pick the right one for you is to compare their features, which is why we wrote this blog! Let's take a closer look at the top five nutrition apps.

MyPlate Calorie Counter

This app is one of the most highly rated nutrition apps on the market. Created by Livestrong, it helps people with specific goals and people who just want to do a little better with their diet. Aside from tracking your food and nutrient intake and exercise, the app also features a robust health community.

MyPlate gives users access to recipes, meal plans, workouts and community chats to help empower you through your health journey. The app is free to download and use, plus it offers a premium version for just $3.75/month.

PlateJoy

If you're looking for an app that helps you achieve your health goals and saves you time, then PlateJoy might be for you. It uses a detailed questionnaire and its operations support system to determine your eating and lifestyle habits. From there, it creates detailed meal plans and a shopping list for you and your family.

The beauty of this app is that you can also customize what foods you eat. So if you're lactose intolerant or allergic to certain foods, you can tell the app to omit those from recipes and shopping lists.

PlateJoy is a paid app, with a few different subscription options:

• $12.99/month

• $69 for six months

• $99 for one year

MyFitnessPal

MyFitnessPal is a great solution if you want to track what you eat. It allows you to input your meals, plus it features a barcode scanner, recipe importer, restaurant logger, calorie counter and more! There's nothing you can't track in this app.

Similar to MyPlate, MyFitnessPal is a free app with a premium subscription option. The premium version is $9.99 per month or $49.99 per year. It gives you access to work routines, detailed food analyses and advanced customization options.

Lifesum: Healthy Eating

This app is praised as one of the best nutrition apps for weight loss. It makes reaching your weight goals easy with simple calorie counters, a recipe index and a food log. As you enter information, it helps you see your progress and notice areas that are consistently giving you trouble.

When you get started on the app, you input your age, height and weight as well as your weight loss goals. From that information, it will create a customized plan to help you reach your goal in your desired time frame (if it's a healthy time period). There's also a weekly health test that keeps you on track.

This is yet another free app with a premium option ($4.17 per month). The premium version gives users access to advanced calorie counting, BMI tracking and custom diet plans.

Ate Food Journal

The last app is for people who just want to be a little more mindful about their eating habits. It doesn't count calories or break down your habits into quantitative measures. Instead, it helps you see your eating habits and better understand how certain foods make you feel. This makes it great for people who are trying to weed out food intolerances or just want to eat a little healthier.

To add a little fun to your food tracking, Ate lets you import pictures of your food and complete unique challenges during the day. It's a paid app, costing $9.99 per month or $49.99 per year.
