MyFitnessPal versus Cronometer

Cronometer and MyFitnessPal are apps for tracking food consumption and exercise.  Both require you to honestly enter the foods you eat to be of any use.
At any rate, I've been using MyFitnessPal since around 2011.  As crazy as it seems, I've logged probably 70 to 80% of the meals I've had since I began using the app.  As a tool for general weight loss, MyFitnessPal has been an adequate and occasionally interesting tool since it brands itself as a sort of Facebook meets food diary app.  Unlike Facebook activities, eating habits aren't likely to be offered as readily for public consumption, and that's where MyFitnessPal probably goes wrong.  For example, of the half dozen or so people I've friended on MyFitnessPal, none regularly update their profiles... I'm sure there are plenty of people who participate more faithfully than the people I know... but still.
Cronometer isn't interested in the social aspect of weight loss.  Rather Cronometer is essentially a site that let's you track your nutrient and caloric intake to a fairly myopic level.  You can, if you like, monitor your intake of every single different amino acid.  That's pretty nice.

So let's go through this category by category:

Cronometer vs MyFitnessPal 

Social Component
Winner: MyFitnessPal

• You can track your friends' weight loss progress while posting your own.  
• Might be interesting to see more emphasis on self promoting good health, as opposed just weight loss.  

Appearance
Winner: MyFitnessPal

• It's really not close. 

Quality of Food Database 
Winner: Cronometer

• What Cronometer lacks in elegance and aesthetic is more than made up for in utility.  Granted the $2.99 app isn't terribly useful [at least, as compared to the free app from MyFitnessPal], but it is okay on the run.  Both websites, though, are free to use.
• What I'm concerned with when I'm logging the food I eat are things like poly and mono unsaturated fats [including omegas].  Even supposedly "verified" foods in the MyFitnessPal database often lack that basic level of information; in some cases the listed foods are egregiously incorrect.    As it is now, MyFitnessPal does not even provide fields for vitamins like B6 and B12, nor does it break down protein into its constituent amino acids. This may be a fairly flimsy complaint to make, given that most people really don't care to the degree that fitness fanatics do.
• I find that I have to add certain foods myself using Cronometer.  I'm referring to certain processed foods that haven't even made it into their database just yet. More general items, like a Jamaican meat patty cannot even be added through a general search using Cronometer.  This is not a problem with MyFitnessPal.
• The food database for MyFitnessPal is, it seems, user generated, which is both good and bad. It's good because it allows us to have a wikipedia type of food database... but it's bad because the amount of oversight is zero, and that error rate appears to be fairly significant.  This is something to consider if you have more than a passing interest in logging your meals in a diary. 

As you can see in the images below, Cronometer is pretty in depth.

Overall winner: Cronometer
MyFitnessPal would win hands down if it provided the sort of detail that Cronometer does.  Given that UnderArmour has purchased MyFitnessPal I'm expecting a great deal of improvement.  But for now Cronometer provides such a breadth of detail that I prefer it.
