My very favorite feature is the barcode scanner which makes entering the calorie count of my favorite snacks fun and easy. I remember back in the day when you could buy a device that scans a barcode and it tells you what the item is. That was back in 2000. Now there is all sorts of information associated with barcodes and MyFitnessPal really takes advantage of that technology.
I treat this app as a game that I am playing on my iPhone where I try to see if really obscure things are available when you look up the calorie count of certain items and whether a restaurant is listed in the app. I think this really encourages my logging of entries and makes me feel like I have more freedom with the foods I can eat. It's also instant gratification for when I am wondering what to order at a restaurant.
Do you use a calorie counter? If so, which one?
