My new favorite iPhone app is Lose It. You start by putting in your current weight and your target weight and how many pounds per week you’d like to lose. Then it shows you how many calories you can eat per day and has a nice interface for adding your calorie intake (food) and any calories you burn over the baseline (exercise). There is a weekly view that makes it easy to go over a bit on Saturday due to a dinner party but then make up for it with a Sunday run.

If I remember correctly, the app is even free.

My only complaint is with its food database. Every time I search for something I end up getting lots of fast/processed/packaged/frozen options. And the entries often seem to be too low. But it is fairly easy to simply increase the portions to account for that.

Trying out the new WordPress client for the iPhone.

I upgraded my iPhone to the 2.0 software and really like it. I’ve already spent probably $60 on various apps. My favorites so far, in order of use / how much I like it:

1. OmniFocus $19.99
2. GuitarToolkit $9.99
3. Remote FREE
4. Twittelator FREE
5. AOL Radio FREE

OmniFocus is a GTD app. GuitarToolkit is a very precise guitar tuner, metronome, and chord dictionary. Remote is a program from Apple that allows you to control any iTunes or Apple TV from your iPhone – can’t wait to setup the house with Airport Expresses and use this.
