Yorkshire Live editor Wayne Ankers has spoken of the success he found in tracking calories for over 500 days. He used the MyFitnessPal app after receiving a recommendation from coaches at his gym.
With New Year resolutions truly under way as we begin 2023, social media is flooded with fitness gurus telling people how to best lose weight. While some doubt the merits of calorie counting, Wayne points out the positives of doing so, as it develops good habits, helps you understand more about what you put on your plate, and allows you to balance out your week if a big meal is ahead.
Wayne has been using the MyFitnessPal app for over 18 months, and has found it to be productive. Despite initially struggling to settle into the habits of logging which foods you consume, he said over time it becomes far easier to use as you gather confidence.
