Want to lose fat and stay fit? 7 best weight loss Apps for Android smartphones

OHMYGOSSIP — If you want to lose fat and stay fit, your smartphone may come handy. It will help you keep track of your calorie intakes in order to plan appropriate weight-loss workouts. Android and Apple iOS are the most popular mobile operating systems, and they both provide amazing apps that will help you in staying fit and healthy. Here are a few fitness apps that you can install on your Android smartphone today.

1. BMI Calculator
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the ratio of your weight and the square of your height. The measure accurately tells whether you are underweight, normal weight, or overweight. It is appropriate if you have a BMI between 18.5 and 25. The BMI Calculator app helps you measure your BMI and find out the amount of fat in your body. The app also calculates your Waist to Height Ratio (WHtR). These data are important for accurately tracking your calorie intake.

2. Noom Weight Loss Coach
This is a very popular, free app available on the Google Play store. It is stocked with weight-loss and fitness features. It will create a weight-loss plan for you based on your requirements. The system accurately tracks your daily calorie intake and helps you schedule your workouts properly in order to maximize your weight loss.

3. My Fitness Pal
This efficient and easy-to-use app tracks your daily calorie intake accurately. The app has its own database of foods from which you can log the ones that you eat. This makes the daily calorie intake calculation as accurate as possible. The app works almost like Noom Weight Loss Coach and is available to be downloaded on all Android smartphones. By tracking your workouts, the app will tell you how much of your weight you have lost.

4. Endomondo Sports Tracker
This app has both a free version and a non-free “Pro” version. The app can be used to track sporting activities, such as walking, running, and cycling. It uses the GPS sensor of your smartphone to determine the distance traveled, time duration, and the amount of calories burned in a workout. The app is not only available on Android but also on other popular smartphone platforms.

5. Fitocracy
Fitocracy is an app that brings social collaboration to the weight loss game. The app helps you connect with more than a million people from around the world who use it to lose weight and stay fit. Fitocracy creates a competitive weight-loss game in which you compete with other people with similar weight loss goals. The Fitocracy system gives you points for your activities, and with these points, you will be able to level up in the game. In order to grant you these points, the app accurately tracks all your weight-loss activities; in essence, the more you work out, the more points you get.

6. Diet Assistant
Many people claim that one of the most difficult parts of droping weight is to eat healthy. After all, it’s so hard to eat wholesome food and control portions when processed foods are everywhere and their portion sizes are large. The Diet Assistant app will help you watch what you eat and drink daily and will create a meal plan that will help you reach your weight loss goal faster and easier. Even if you stick to some specific diet like high-protein or vegetarian, the app will help you find all the ingredients that suit your tastes. Use the Diet Assistant app to create shopping lists and your daily menu, and you will see that it’s much easier to eat healthy than you think.

7. Ideal Weight
If you are looking for a simple weight loss app, Ideal Weight is perfect for you. Start with running your finger over the yellow measuring tape, enter your weight and height, and the Ideal Weight app will calculate your body mass index in either metric units or imperial (pounds). I’m not trying to lose weight right now, but I use this app regularly to find out whether I’m underweight, overweight, or my weight is perfect. If you want to drop unwanted pounds but don’t know where to start, download the Ideal Weight app to calculate your ideal weight and set the right weight loss goals.

With such amazing apps, staying healthy has gone to a new level. Technology helps people out in amazing ways. The sensors on your smartphones, such as the GPS, gyroscope, etc., also help in tracking the activities that you do precisely. Some companies have also developed external gadgets, like Nike’s Fuelband and Jawbone Up, that you can wear while working out.
