MyFitnessPal is basically a food diary; what makes it exceptional is their extensive food database (over 11 million foods) to help you count and keep track of your calorie intake. You can view nutritional information about each of the food items (sugar, protein, cholesterol, and more). You can also view your total nutrition for the day, for example, 45 grams of sugar and what you have consumed.
This app will help you keep track of your physical activity, too. With MyFitnessPal just enter your goal weight and the app will calculate what your daily calorie intake should be. Whenever you eat something, enter it manually or scan a barcode and the program deducts the calories from your total, showing you the calories you have left for the day. Of course, exercising allows you to have a larger total for your calorie intake. Enter your calories burned by exercise and MyFitnessPal will add them back into the total for the day. There is a free tier of service, plus a Premium membership. This review is for the free tier.

In the Classroom
As you start remote teaching, be sure to provide parents with as much support and information as possible. Use the Shorts feature of FlipGrid, reviewed here, to create short videos with instructions and information for completing lessons and activities. Share the URL to the video with parents on your class webpage or through email. Use FlipGrid to set up a topic to support parents and students and answer questions. Consider this topic to be your virtual office and make sure to respond to questions promptly.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
