So, I wanted a calorie tracker that allowed me to see my cumulative calories, so if I’m under a few days, the remaining calories collect for future days or so I can plan for a naughty weekend. Or if I have a major binge, I can see how strict I need to be to counteract the major feasting. I started with a spreadsheet and it really helped but the user experience was lacking and I am a website/app designer by trade, not much of a developer though, so it’s fairly basic but it works. AND you can add it to your homescreen and it will work like an app (offline accessibile too) 👍🏼
It’s called MT31 - MT stands for My Tracker and it’s also sounds like ‘empty’. And I am 31, which coincidentally when I turned ‘MT’ on its side, there’s kinda the number 31. It was just for me so I didn’t care too much about the name.
It’s completely free, no ads, no account creation, it’s not a business, I’ve just had some good feedback from friends and family. I host it for pennies and I will update it because I can’t leave things alone and love to tinker. So if you use it, there’ll be some updates, anything that I find more useful or if I get any feedback/good ideas (welcome from all btw). And this way you know it won’t just disappear on you because it didn’t turn a profit or get enough users etc.
Features:
☆ Cumulative Calorie Logic: Gives you a better representation of what you have left (or what you don’t).
☆ Accessible Offline: Add to your Home Screen whilst connected to the internet, you will not need the internet to continue using it thereafter.
☆ Calorie Calculator: It comes with a free calorie calculator to help you set a daily calorie target (uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation).
☆ Weekday Aware: The current day of the week is highlighted and days that have passed will show a greyed out ‘Calories left’ total, so you can better focus on your daily habits.
☆ Reset: With a tap of a button, you can now reset all your daily calorie inputs anytime you like.
☆ Local Data Storage: All data is saved to your browser/device, we do not store your data, its yours.
So, yeah, comments, critique, love & admiration and questions are all welcome.
Thanks for reading and hope it helps someone as much as it’s helped me ✌🏼
