MyFitnessPal vs. Noom

I really like using MyFitnessPal personally but also am aware of my triggers and how monitoring my weight could turn into unhealthy behavior. I do not recommend it if people are not at that point, but only if folks want to monitor their weight/food intake.

Noom is great for building habits. It is a platform that has a thoughtful design for encouraging use. I personally know many people who have had great success with it. However, I myself did not see great results. This may be because I am extremely busy in my role and dedicating the appropriate amount of time is a challenge.

• Possibility for harmful behaviors, such as eating disorders.
• Depending on age, notifications should be different.

I like Apple Health as a more holistic app but like using MyFitnessPal for more general weight management.

I have used My Fitness Pal, Lose It, and Apple’s Health Feature. Noom is the most sophisticated of these and also distinct in the type of educational material embedded into the program. The food tracker is perhaps equal to other programs, such as My Fitness Pal- but those other programs do not have anything like what Noom offers in habit building and support.
