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

It's the best tracker app, IMO. Have used it for years now.

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

How does it know the amount?

With nutracheck you can scan the barcode, it gives you some common amounts, and the amount if you’ve had it before, you pick the amount and add it to a meal occasion. To add sugar could do a quick search and it comes up with common amounts again.
If you often have yoghurt with sugar for a particular meal, you can click on the meal and then can add multiple items from a list of things you’ve had before. Or create a meal of yoghurt and sugar. You can always edit amounts afterwards at any time.

I suppose it’s what you are used to, but I find nutracheck very easy, which means I use it consistently and can keep on top of tracking which is the whole point!

It estimates the quantity from the photo. Usually pretty accurate.

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 not signed up but I've seen his videos and he just seems to be very straight talking to me. I'm not easily offended so it doesn't bother me at all. I struggle to see how he is offensive at all really!?

I don’t particularly track calories but occasionally check things. Its very easy to use. (Nutracheck, not the one people are arguing about!)
