MyFitnessPal HD Update Brings Updates to Mirror the iPhone Version
MyFitnessPal HD for iPad has received an update today that brings the larger format version of the popular calorie tracking and weight management app on par with its smaller iPhone/iPod Touch version. MyFitnessPal is the app that both I and Tricia (as well as our respective spouses) use for weight management, diet tracking, exercise tracking and everything related to our health. It is the app that has helped me lose nearly 80 pounds over the past three years and keep it off.
The update has an extensive list of improvements and updates, most of which have been in the iPhone version but were not ported over to the HD version until now. Now you get all the latest features from the app as well as getting to use
their fantastic native iPad UI.

- Connect to your favorite apps and devices like FitBit, Withings, Endomondo, Runtastic and more through our App Gallery
- Type-ahead food filtering
- Repeat Last Meal
- Default to Multi-Add for diary entries

MyFitnessPal is one of the best apps when it comes to linking to other services or exercise devices. In my case, my daily steps and exercise from my FitBit are automatically synchronised with MyFitnessPal to both track it as well as give me calories back as I burn them. There is a long list of apps that will synchronise with the service, all of which can be found here.
The MyFitnessPal HD app is free but does require a MyFitnessPal account which is also free. Once you have the app installed on your iPad or iPad Mini, you can have it search Facebook for friends to follow and share diet successes.

New Year Resolution to Lose Weight? Check Out MyFitnessPal HD for iPad
2012. A new year and a fresh start. Many of us will resolve to do many things in the new year with the vast majority of us wanting to lose weight and have a better exercise regiment. Fortunately there are a lot of apps in the App Store to help you keep track of your calories and food intake as well as your exercise. One of my favorites is MyFitnessPal, a comprehensive app that ties into the MyFitnessPal.com website. MyFitnessPal is a free service that allows you to track your diet and exercise, set goals and share your results with friends and others on Facebook and Twitter. What is great about MyFitnessPal is that it is user driven. If you search for a food item and can’t find it, create it and it is shared with everyone who uses MyFitnessPal.
MyFitnessPal has had an iPhone app for some time now and last week they released MyFitnessPal HD for iPad. This isn’t a refresh of the iPhone version. It is written for the iPad exclusively (it is a separate app) and it utilizes the screen real estate of the iPad phenomenally well. And since everything you enter into MyFitnessPal HD syncs with the MyFitnessPla.com site, you can enter information on your iPad and you will see it on the website and on your iPhone as they all stay in sync. It is a great service that allows you to access your information from virtually anywhere and from any iOS device.
MyFitnessPal HD requires that you have a MyFitnessPal.com account which is free. The app itself is also free. If you want to have the app on both your iPhone and iPad, you will need to download the proper version for the device (I’ve linked them below).
Give MyFitnessPal a try and see if it can help you keep the weight off in 2012.
