The iPhone features a couple of apps for weight loss. The best weight loss apps for iPhone include LYRFREE and MyFitnessPal. These are both free apps, one having a strong focus on exercise and calorie loss, while the other emphasizes calorie intake. The LYRFREE is essentially a way to log your running time, distance, and running routes. In addition to this, it keeps track of minimum and maximum heart rate, and estimated weight loss. It also has a built-in “ipod”. In other words, you can choose playlists from your iPhone’s iPod to download onto the LYRFREE, and then play it while running. MyFItnessPal  has a listing of just about any food you can think of including the serving size, calorie count and nutrition information. What you eat then gets logged into a journal and depending on your weight goals, it will tell you how much more you can eat (based on what you’ve already taken in). This app also takes exercise into consideration in subtracting calories from your total count.

Both are highly exercise dependent and leads the user through a series of physical activities that are specially designed for their weight loss needs. CardioTrainer is detail oriented, keeping track of all the exercises you do, scores you’ve obtained, and is essentially a work out coach. DroidFit is great because of its visuals and intense focus on specific muscle types.
