I use MyFitnessPal and SuperTracker in Nutrition and Wellness classes so that students can track their daily food . It is available on the web, iOS and Android. Students must create an account so that the app can follow your entries. Students that have a mobile device are able to enter foods as they consume them, whereas students using paper to write the items down have a more difficult time. Using the application helps students chart and monitor their calorie, nutrient, water, and exercise on daily terms. We can then do analysis of their eating habits and create goals for improvement. The applications take the place of charting manually with paper and pencil. It creates a much easier way to track and record your food intake. It will store the information for you to use at a later time. You can make decisions about your calorie consumption and calorie burn during the day and make alterations as you go. Students can create reports for viewing.
Do you personally prefer MyFitnessPal or SuperTracker? Which do your students seem to have a better time using?
ReplyDeleteI prefer my fitness pal since I can use it on my iphone. That makes tracking foods eaten, water intake and exercise portable. Therefore I can monitor my caloric levels through out the day.
