Count.kcal: Balance Widget 1.5.3

Count.kcal serves as an effective companion app for individuals who actively monitor their calorie intake through platforms such as MyFitnessPal or Yazio. To achieve specific weight management objectives—be it weight loss or gain—maintaining either a caloric deficit or surplus over a sustained period is essential, adhering to the CICO principle (calories in, calories out). In essence, effective weight loss occurs when caloric expenditure exceeds intake.

By integrating with Apple Health, Count.kcal leverages both nutrition and calorie burn data from devices like the Apple Watch, while also allowing for manual input of custom energy expenditure information. This functionality facilitates accurate tracking of caloric balance in relation to weight management goals.

The app features intuitive graphs that present a clear view of the user's current calorie balance in "now-mode." Additionally, the "midnight-mode" offers an estimated end-of-day caloric balance by factoring in passive calorie burn until midnight. This feature can be particularly beneficial for planning post-dinner meals in order to remain within daily caloric targets.

Count.kcal consolidates data on calories consumed, calories burned, macronutrients, and body weight into a single dashboard, providing users with a comprehensive overview of their progress. The inclusion of customizable home-screen widgets allows users to monitor their calorie balance at a glance.

The app is also compatible with the Apple Watch, offering various watch face complications and smart stack widgets for quick access to calorie balance information.
