Apps I Use Daily

Seven apps.
One consistent life.

These aren't apps I downloaded once and forgot about. These are the tools running in the background of my Fit Life every single day — tracking my lifts, my food, my body, and my health.

Training & Lifting

One app for every lift, every program, every PR.

Nutrition & Food

Two apps that cover what you eat — and what's in it.

Macro Tracking

Calorie Tracker by Fatsecret

iOS & Android · Free

The most comprehensive food database I've found — period. Scanning a barcode takes two seconds and pulls up complete macro data. The daily breakdown shows protein, carbs, fats, and total calories in real time. I've tried other apps which might look pretty, but don't deliver where it counts the most. This is better. Near effortless — and completely free.

If you're doing nutrition coaching with me, this is the app we'll use together.

Food Ingredient Scanner

Yuka

iOS & Android · Free with premium

Yuka is different from a calorie tracker — it scans food and cosmetic products and grades them based on ingredients, not just nutrition. It flags additives, preservatives, and questionable ingredients so you know exactly what's in what you're buying.

For anyone serious about clean eating and understanding what's actually going into their body, this app is eye-opening. It's changed how I shop.

Health Tracking

The data layer of the Fit Life — body composition, activity, and full health picture.

Health Hub

Apple Health

iOS only · Free · Built-in

The central hub for all health and fitness data on iPhone. It pulls in data from nearly every other health app you use — steps, workouts, sleep, heart rate, nutrition — and presents it in one dashboard. I use it as the master record for my health metrics over time. If you're on iPhone, this is already on your phone and you should absolutely be using it.

Activity & Workouts

Apple Fitness

iOS · Free + optional Fitness+ subscription

Apple Fitness tracks your activity rings — Move, Exercise, and Stand — and gives you a visual summary of how active you've been each day. The streak and ring-closing mechanic is surprisingly motivating. I use the activity tracking daily as a simple accountability tool.

Body Composition

InBody

iOS & Android · Free app (device required)

InBody goes beyond the scale. It measures body fat percentage, muscle mass, water distribution, and segmental analysis — giving you a true picture of your body composition rather than just weight. The app connects to InBody scanner devices (available at many gyms) and stores your historical results.

Weight is just a number — InBody tells the real story.
