Calorie Counter by Lose It! is a food and weight tracking app. It helps users record meals, calories, exercise, weight, and nutrition details in one place.
The main idea is simple. You enter your personal details and weight goal. The app then gives you a daily calorie target and lets you record what you eat.
It also supports food search, weight tracking, exercise logging, fasting, and nutrition tracking. Some advanced tools are available only with the Premium plan.
Size, Storage, and Competitors
The exact download size and installed storage can change depending on the Android phone and app version. The app also needs internet access for many online food and account features, so it is not a fully offline app.
MyFitnessPal is a close competitor with calorie, food, exercise, water, and nutrition tracking. Cronometer is another option and focuses more on detailed nutrient information. Lose It! keeps its main focus on calorie counting, food logging, weight goals, and progress tracking.
