So, I wanted a calorie tracker that allowed me to see my cumulative calories, so if I’m under a few days, the remaining calories collect for future days or so I can plan for a naughty weekend. Or if I have a major binge, I can see how strict I need to be to counteract the major feasting. I started with a spreadsheet and it really helped but the user experience was lacking and I am a website/app designer by trade, not much of a developer though, so it’s fairly basic but it works. AND you can add it to your homescreen and it will work like an app (offline accessibile too) 👍🏼 It’s called MT31 - MT stands for My Tracker and it’s also sounds like ‘empty’. And I am 31, which coincidentally when I turned ‘MT’ on its side, there’s kinda the number 31. It was just for me so I didn’t care too much about the name. It’s completely free, no ads, no account creation, it’s not a business, I’ve just had some good feedback from friends and family. I host it for pennies and I will update it because I can’t leave things alone and love to tinker. So if you use it, there’ll be some updates, anything that I find more useful or if I get any feedback/good ideas (welcome from all btw). And this way you know it won’t just disappear on you because it didn’t turn a profit or get enough users etc. Features: ☆ Cumulative Calorie Logic: Gives you a better representation of what you have left (or what you don’t). ☆ Accessible Offline: Add to your Home Screen whilst connected to the internet, you will not need the internet to continue using it thereafter. ☆ Calorie Calculator: It comes with a free calorie calculator to help you set a daily calorie target (uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation). ☆ Weekday Aware: The current day of the week is highlighted and days that have passed will show a greyed out ‘Calories left’ total, so you can better focus on your daily habits. ☆ Reset: With a tap of a button, you can now reset all your daily calorie inputs anytime you like. ☆ Local Data Storage: All data is saved to your browser/device, we do not store your data, its yours. So, yeah, comments, critique, love & admiration and questions are all welcome. Thanks for reading and hope it helps someone as much as it’s helped me ✌🏼

@wowwowlubov Thank you! Yes that would be ideal and I think when you track calories, you start to understand your eating habits better and then eventually could be informed enough that you no longer need to track. Thanks for sharing!

Is it only a webapp, or is there an IOS/Android version? Because the "Get the App" on your website does nothing, and I can't find it on the app store.
Elliot James
@dan16 Correct, it is a web app. The "Get the App" banner instructs you to add it to your homescreen. You can do this from your browser. It will store your calorie data locally and work offline, it will work just like an app :) It may make it's way to the app stores in the future... Thanks for your feedback!

@ellliotjames also I suggest stretching the "Cumulative calorie tracker" banner to the with of the "Daily target" and the "Day Calories in Calories left" blocks 😅
Elliot James
@dan16 Good catch! Thanks, I'll fix it now :)

Nice! Congrats on your launch. It's surprising that the big calorie tracking apps (MFP, Lose It) have never solved the problem of cumulative calories...I've been calorie tracking for years now and have always thought of it on a weekly basis rather than daily.

@aditimroy Thank you! Yeah I thought the same when i started this but sssshh.. don't tell them ;)
