Tracker apps possess’own’nurse been around in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a while now from apps that help you track your daily steps, apps that track how much water you ve drunk, apps to log your physical activity, your calories, your weight, your sleep you name it there s probably an app out there to track it in/with regard to’concerning’regarding you. Now I ll be honest, I ve got a bit of a love hate relationship with tracker apps I ve used plenty of them in the past, but as someone who can acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure a bit hooked on the numbers, it s not always the healthy option in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me. So when I was contacted with regards to’concerning’with respect to trying out the Oatsy nutrition tracking app, I was a little apprehensive. It would possess’own’nurse been easy to say no, but I ll tell you why I didn t, and there are 2 intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent reasons:

It s free (ummmm hello, e grossly one loves a freebie)
It s a nutrition app (sounds weird I know, but I really like that it s not centred around just weight loss, which so many other apps like this are)

So it s got me intrigued to say the least. Intrigued abundant’ample’plentiful to give it a go in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a week and see if it reveals a few home truths and to also see if it can sort out some of my grossly wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile lockdown habits.

What Is the Oatsy Nutrition Tracker App?

As I said, this is a nutrition tracker and so the focus is much more on tracking the type of food you re eating and helping you learn how much carbs, protein, fat etc. you should be eating in/with regard to’concerning’regarding your specific goal. The app allows you to log your daily food from a choice of over 950,000 food products, as well as keeping track of any exercise you do.

Each day is broken down into breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks and all you need to do is go into each one and input your food. After each day you will be given a fit score out of 100 by the Oatsy FitScore assistant. This fundamental ally tells you how well you ve done, both in terms of the food choices you ve made as well as any exercise you ve done that day, but will also advise if you need more exercise or if you re low in a peculiar food zone’district’region , in/with regard to’concerning’regarding example carbs.

There is also a recipe bank in/with regard to’concerning’regarding you to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure some meal inspo from and a whole section on food ranking to help you discover which foods are rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent in/with regard to’concerning’regarding peculiar goals, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding example weight loss, body establish ing, digestion, diabetes, high blood pressure and detox.

Where Can I Get It?

The Oatsy nutrition tracker app is available to download in/with regard to’concerning’regarding free from the Google Play store and the Apple store. If you download it through Apple you are also able to log your daily steps via Apple health.

How Do I Use It?

Despite having as many features as some of the apps you possess’own’nurse to pay in/with regard to’concerning’regarding , it is surprisingly easy to use and took me no more than 10 minutes to navigate through eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything and acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure to grapple s with it.

Once you ve downloaded the app to whatever device you re going to be using it on, simply enter some fundamental details gender, date of birth, weight, height and then decide whether you want to lose weight, gain weight, or maintain your current weight. I know I ve said this already, but I really like that the focus isn t just on weight loss, because actually there are heaps of individual out there who struggle to gain weight and could do with help, and there are equally lots of individual who are totally fine with the weight they are but perhaps don t feel they are eating the right kind of foods in/with regard to’concerning’regarding optimum health.

After you ve input your info you can then choose which diet plan you d like to follow. Again there is flexibility, because yes there are some diets on there that that may be mildly’faintly controversial (keto, 5:2 fasting, and 16/8 fasting I m looking at you), but there is also the balanced diet option and a custom diet plan option, so there really is something in/with regard to’concerning’regarding e grossly one. And if you re not really sure what each of these diets are and what they involve, you can click on them to find out more and read some useful tips to help you stay on plan.

It s really significant’essential’critical’vital’crucial’indispensable’imperative to note that there is also a page that asks you to say whether to possess’own’nurse conditions such as diabetes or high or low blood pressure etc., as eliminate’remove ly this has an impact and will be taken into account when revealing your daily stats.

What Will It Help Me With?

The Oatsy nutrition tracker app is predominantly a means of being able to keep track of your health in terms of nutrition and to some extent your fitness. What it can help you with depends somewhat on the goal you re aiming in/with regard to’concerning’regarding . If you stick to the amount of daily calories the app works out you need then yes you can lose weight, gain weight and also maintain weight. But it is more than that, in that it breaks your diet down into specifics, thus reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue ing you zone’district’region s you need to enhance’promote’polish up on, or zone’district’region s you re already doing OK in. I certainly possess’own’nurse no clue how many carbs or how much fat or protein I consume in a day, but this app works it out in/with regard to’concerning’regarding you. And yes arguably if you were that way inclined you could spend ages scrutinizing food packaging or looking up nutritional content of certain foods online and then recording all this kind of info yourself, but quite frankly who can be bothered!?!

My Honest Opinion Of The Oatsy Nutrition Tracking App

I ve used weight loss apps and fitness tracker apps in the past and to be honest I m not overly keen on keeping track of things these days simply because I feel it can become a little bit obsessive. However, I also appreciate that some individual need this to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure them back on track and having used it in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a week it did remind me just how many calories are in a couple of biscuits versus an apple, so it did motivate’fuel me to make better food choices. Obviously, I know that biscuits aren t a great snack choice, but what with e grossly thing else we ve got going on right now it s easy to be a little bit in denial with regards to’concerning’with respect to the food we eat. The tracker doesn t let you acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure away with it, and I don t know with regards to’concerning’with respect to you, but sometimes I need telling!

One function I would like, that it doesn t currently possess’own’nurse , is a notification setting that sends out a reminder at the end of the day to input your food. Personally, I need a little bit more accountability than it currently offers, and a reminder would be abundant’ample’plentiful to stop me from cheating, which lets be honest is often what can happen a few days into a new diet plan.

It is a great tool to possess’own’nurse if you re struggling a bit with your nutrition at the moment and I know I keep going on with regards to’concerning’with respect to it but I am honestly blown away that this app is free. The focus is intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully much on slow, sustainable weight transform’alter s to take you on a nutritional journey to better health and to make long term lifestyle transform’alter s.
