Looking for a free GLP-1 tracker app? MyNetDiary has you covered

A free tracker app like MyNetDiary makes monitoring food intake on a GLP-1 a cinch. Learn how to use MyNetDiary’s tracker to ensure you meet protein and calorie goals to support weight loss and preserve muscle mass while taking a GLP-1.

How to use MyNetDiary as a free GLP-1 tracker app

MyNetDiary's free app offers a plethora of ways to track food and lifestyle goals, helping you stay on target while on a GLP-1 medication. Food logs, exercise plan, medication management, and reminders allow you to monitor all aspects of your GLP-1 journey in one place.

Use MyNetDiary's free food tracker

Use MyNetDiary to track calories and important nutrients for weight loss, such as protein and fiber.

Guidelines recommend consuming 80 to 120 grams of protein daily to maintain muscle mass and support weight loss while taking a GLP-1 medication.

Adherence to a 500-calorie deficit supports weight loss, regardless of GLP-1 medication. Use your free MyNetDiary app's tracker to determine your daily calorie budget while using a GLP-1. Then, log food to help stay within your target calories.

Adjust your food intake, choices, and meal times to stay within your calorie and nutrient targets.

Use MyNetDiary to set alarms

GLP-1 medications affect hunger cues. Many individuals taking GLP-1 medications report a reduced appetite, often accompanied by little desire to eat. GLP-1 side effects, such as nausea, can further suppress appetite.

Use the alarm feature in MyNetDiary to set reminders for meals and snacks. Navigate to the “Me” tab, then “App Settings.” Select “Reminders & Notifications,” then tap “Reminders.” Adjust the reminder times for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

You can also set reminders to help with food logging. Under Reminders & Notifications, select “Logging Reminders” and toggle on.

You must allow notifications from MyNetDiary to ensure alarms and reminders work properly.

Keep track of your medication and dosage

Manage your GLP-1 medication and dosage in the free MyNetDiary app tracker. Under the “Me” tab, select “My Health,” then tap the plus sign. Scroll to "Medications" and choose either "Create Medication" or "Select Medication" to add your GLP-1 medication.

Use MyNetDiary to set a reminder to help with injecting your GLP-1 each week. Under “App Settings” in the “Me” tab, navigate to Reminders and Notifications. Select “Reminders” and create a custom reminder for your injection.

Use Premium Menus

MyNetDiary Premium members can utilize the Premium Menu feature to quickly and easily plan meals. Although MyNetDiary does not yet have a GLP-1-specific menu, the “High-Protein” option is suitable for GLP-1 users. A day of eating from the high-protein menu provides 90 or more grams of protein.

Note: Should you choose to automatically log from the Premium Menu, be sure to make any adjustments if you do not consume the entire portion of food. If not, your calorie and protein tracking will be inaccurate.

Create an exercise plan

Weight loss is most effective when a calorie deficit is combined with resistance or strength training. This holds even with a GLP-1 medication.

Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and two sessions of resistance training weekly to support weight loss. Use MyNetDiary's Exercise Plan to search for and add weekly exercise. Navigate to the “Me” tab, then select “My Weight Goal & Plan.” Tap “Exercise Plan,” then search for and add exercises.

Alternatively, connect your wearable device (e.g., Fitbit, Garmin, or Apple Watch) to MyNetDiary to track your exercise seamlessly.

Support is essential with weight loss and GLP-1 medications. Get nutrition or tracking questions answered by a professional with the “Ask an RD” feature in “Community.” Use “Community” to connect with other individuals on GLP-1 medications. MyNetDiary provides the support you need to stay on top of your goals in a healthy, sustainable manner.
