Fitbit vs. MyFitnessPal

This is great for someone strictly dedicated to tracking their motions/activity ranges but are not worried about calls, texts or other distractions in that moment. They are a great tool, but in these specific scenarios.

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.

The cost of Fitbit is much more affordable and more reasonable for the population we serve. We do wish that some of the features would be improved and easily navigated as the Apple Health app. We selected Fitbit for multiple reasons. One is the affordability (although we do feel that the price is still a bit high). Another is for the personal knowledge of [our] staff and residents on their overall health and how to improve themselves. In addition, the food tracker and sleep tracker provide extra benefits for the individual. Overall this contributes to the wellness program we have implemented and overall our wellness discount to be applied for our staff and residents.

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