Food Apps?
I have this app that counts calories and tracks the nutrition ofthe stuff I eat... it also tracks exercise. I dont know if its good for me to have or not. It makes me feel fantastic when Im below my calorie count but on days that I binge or even eat more than I was planning, its awful. Plus, everytime I eat anything, all I can think about is how high the number already is. But its helping me find healthier alternatives so... is it good? Is it harmful? I dont really know. This morning I binged and I entered the foods I ate and the number is horrendous and my head is just buzzing with how much weight Ill gain from the sugar. Its only the middle of the day and I only have [edited by Anomalia to remove calorie specifics] left today, and Im way over on sugar because of the binge. Its so discouraging, but maybe thats kind of motivation I need to avoid binging in the future?

Hi!
I've tried a fair few food apps and I've found calore counting apps are an absolute no-go for me. All they do is create immense guilt and shame.
I can completely relate to how discouraging it can be too when you go over your recommended calorie intake, but at the same time you know personally that it wasn't a good idea and I feel like you don't need an app to remind you of that?
Anyway, the app that I can recommend is called YouAte. This one is a photo based app (or you can write text). Instead of calorie counting, you say whether or not it was on path or off path. You get to decide what's on and off path for you and that's what I like about it. You can add little details to your meal (optional) about why you ate (i.e. hungry, stressed, tired), where you ate (i.e. standing, work desk), etc. It will also tell you how much you're on path or off path so you can start to compare how much you're changing each week.
Hope you find one that works for you
i've found recovery record super helpful! (it sends you meal reminders, doesn't track calories and allows you to be more self aware of thought/feeling/behaviour patterns)
