As we head into 2017, it's always good to be thinking about health and fitness. While MyFitnessPal is no longer available here are some worthy alternatives worth considering.

FatSecret

FatSecret is a free app in the Windows Store designed to track both your diet and fitness activities. You can look up the nutritional information for the food you eat and track all your meals and snacks. An exercise diary is available to track your fitness activities and your weight.

The layout for FatSecret is very user-friendly with navigation tiles on the primary menu to send you to all the app's featured sections. All the data entered into the app can be charted where you can review your, fitness and diet progress, and a diet calendar is available to let you plan your meals in advance. FatSecret is an easy-to-use alternative to MyFitnessPal. The hard part is going to be passing up on that chocolate pie for desert (as it always is).

Nutrition Hub is a Windows 10 app designed to track your diet and weight loss. The subscription based app lacks the ability to track activities but provides a host of features to monitor your diet, set goals for weight loss and chart it all out for easy review. Nutrition Hub includes Fitbit integration where you can sync consumed foods to your Fitbit account automatically, support for scanning food product bar codes for quick and easy searching and can track carbohydrate intake for those partial to the Atkins diet plan.

This Windows 10 app has an extensive food database of restaurant foods, generic foods and packaged items. If you cannot find an item on your dinner plate, Nutrition Hub has the ability to add custom foods to the database. Meals can be created for easy reference (great for items you eat, with regularity) and individual items can be tagged as a favorite for easy reference as well. Nutrition Hub is free to download and try for seven days. Once the trial period expires, Nutrition Hub offer subscription periods ranging from $.99 for a thirty-day subscription to an annual subscription costing $4.99.
