Nutracheck

[WhoInvitedHer]

About to start on Wegovey and would appreciate opinions on whether it is worth paying for the Nutracheck App. I’ve had an email to offer an annual membership for about £27

I use it and yes I find it enormously helpful to track my calories and protein. I am not on injections just trying to improve my diet.

I'm sure there are other ways to track that might be cheaper but the app is good, user friendly and the barcode scanner etc works really well.

I use it and really like it. It has lots of different options for setting up your macros or you can set your own.
I also like the barcode scanner. Very easy to add new foods.
I use the recipe builder a lot and it is very flexible for when you reuse them.
It's much better than MFP which I used to use as it's not full of inaccurate entries from other users.
The annual fee is very reasonable I think.

I use free “my fitness pal” as I don’t track calories often - only in first month or so to get a baseline as it got tedious, then occasionally for a week or two over the last 19 months to review so MFP is enough for me.

For tracking weight/losses, pens/injections/doses, side effects, BMI, TDEE etc I prefer an excel so I can put in and graph what matters to me all in one place.

I use RH Fitness. Its more expensive, £7.99 a month but is very very good. They do different plans, GLP1 and others, and they set your nutrients, steps etc and you log everything just like MFP. Theres lots of videos, coaching help etc etc and it has made a real difference to me.

Please don’t join RH. The guy is a vile misogynist.

I think it's great. The main thing I track is fibre (when I am tracking) and you can set it to look at that rather than/as well as calories.

Love Nutrachek, it has so many good features, meal sharing, sections for eating out, bar code scanner, you can split by fat, fibre, proetin etc etc. Its a fab app. My rwnewal is due this month actually. Used it fpr 12 months and lost 7 stone with that and MJ.

I find nutracheck great, and I am not an app person at all.

Are there any apps (other than zoe) where you take a photo of your food and it works out the ingredients, which you then just edit? I find it much easier! But Zoe subscription is coming to an end.

And you're paying to be abused!

I'm not a member but I follow RH on social media and he has some useful information. I probably would have joined but I'm nearly at maintenance now and I get on fine with the info I have.

Yes, he's got a particular style but I don't mind that. He tells it like it is. To be honest, a lot of people need this. I prefer it to being told some of the rubbish that passes for information on weight loss. He's all calories in / calories out and getting enough exercise to be able to eat a sustainable number of calories.

A couple of his posts on calorie levels, walking etc really saved my weight loss when I was stalled.

I don't agree that he's misogynist. I've followed him for ages and never seen it. He calls out the bullshit for sure but it's not aimed at women particularly. In fact, he often calls out people who are being abusive and targeting people online.

I use it, I’m not on WLI, but it helps me track calories and have lost just over three stone now with the app

Ok so I have never really explored the eating out section and have just had a look - that's absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

Yes I paid for the year recently, I found it much harder to keep track of what I was eating without it. I figure for the year it's only £2 something a month and I know I'd spend more than that on junk food if I wasn't tracking what I ate. As others said the protein tracking was really helpful, helped stop the 'bored' eating

You can use ChatGPT for this.

@OP I have used nutracheck for 18 months and love it, think it's well worth the fee. It's very easy to use, the food scanner is excellent and I like to track my protein and fibre intake daily.

Its good isn't it. It has quite a few places on it.

I just got the annual subscription after using it for my first couple of weeks taking wli. I think it’s a great app. I like that it’s linked to my phone so I get my steps added into my daily allowance. The scanner is great and their articles are really good. It has really helped my focus on what I need to have a much healthier diet. I need a LOT more fibre in my diet.

Definitely worth the annual subscription.

No, I’m paying for good advice, hard truths and tough love. I like it! No bullshit, no sugarcoating, just reality. I get his style isn’t for everyone but there is nothing abusive about it. For the first time in all my years of dieting, I’m not obsessed with ultra low calories so am eating more, paying attention to the value of what I’m eating and it’s working.

I dont think it’s abuse but the man is utterly vile. What do you like about a misogynistic cunt giving ‘hard truths’? Gross. Utterly gross. I don’t know how he had a single person sign up to his shite.

I can’t see how that is going to be very accurate or save time and effort.
How would it know whether I’ve got a bowl of full fat yoghurt with 2 tablespoons of sugar stirred in, or a bowl of plain fat free yoghurt?
If you have to edit it then you may as well use nutracheck (which is fab) or some other app where you enter everything directly.

It's pretty clever. You edit at first, so in that example you'd change the yoghurt to the brand you use. Then the following time it'd assume the same yoghurt and let you edit if not.
You'd take the photo before you stir in the sugar so that it picks that up too.

It's not perfect but I find that editing the ingredient list from a good first start is much quicker than adding it all separately

Hugely helpful. I have used Nutracheck for about 18 months now and I love it.
Well worth the £27.

Look, each to their own. I have to say, I have never ever seen any misogynistic behaviour, and I can only go by what I see. Yes, he's brutal, but I think when people are trying to change their lifestyle this is what some folk need. The site isn't shite, it's an extremely useful tool to help lifestyle changes. It's not a one size fits all, there are different programmes for different goals. He doesn't suffer fools, he calls people out on bullshit theories and he calls people out if they are trolling. If that's not your bag then totally fair enough, but for me personally I would rather be given the hard reality rather than a fluffy sugarcoated version.

I'm with you. His approach works which maybe upsets some of the other tiktok peddlers of false hope and misinformation.
I also have never heard or seen anything misogynistic from him. I've heard the claim repeated on here from time to time but nobody ever puts up any evidence.

I don't mind his style but it's the fact you're tied in for a year's contract on his app that puts me off.

I like that he calls people out.
