Hi all, I'm doing well on the LCHF diet and have only been doing it this last week. I use my fitness pal and fitbit To log everything however, I'm finding fitbit will give an overall percentage of macros, but not separate grams. I know I'm not eating many, but I'd like to be able to keep track. Thank you.

You could have a look at the MySugr app that counts in grams, it's a free download with an option to buy an extension but not sure what extra it gives :)

Hi AngiH
Does your my fitness pal app not not give you the information you want.
Mine certainly records everything even if it is a little out now & again.

I use Nutracheck Calorie Counter, its £30.00 for a year, but i would be lost without it, you can chose what you want to track, for me its calories, carbs and sugar but there’s protein etc that you can also track, i know its a bit pricey but I can’t praise it enough

Oh, meant to add you can scan barcodes with it as well, and its got an excellent eating out and takeaway part to it.

I have this, but didn't know about the extension. Thanks, I'll look into this

Hi Trendy
Yes it does, but like you say it's a little out now and again...just wondered if there was another that was all. Thank you.

I find the best way to count carbs is to not eat any :D

Sorry, not very constructive, I know. But seriously, I personally found negotiating with carbohydrate to be unsustainable, depressing, and largely ineffective. Of course having said that, I fully respect that everyone is different, and that everyone has to walk their own path - just sharing my experience :)

That make me laugh Jim. I'm not eating many to be honest, Its just good to see it in grams rather than percentage. My general day is eggs/tomato for breakfast or lunch and then meat or chicken with veg for dinner....followed by sugar free jelly and cream
