What current sources establish about Lose It!

Lose It! organizes the experience around a calculated calorie budget and weight plan, then offers several ways to fill the diary, including search, barcode, voice, and Premium Snap It photo logging. Feast starts with understanding the meal and its nutrient context; its coaching is not a proprietary calorie-budget program. Users should decide whether the governing object should be a daily budget or a reviewable meal record.

The central tradeoff

Lose It! is organized around a calorie-budget and weight-management workflow, while Feast gives more prominence to the photographed meal, estimate review, nutrient context, and longitudinal coaching. Decide whether a budget is the center of the experience you want.
