Lose It! – Calorie Counter

Lose It! is similar to MyFitnessPal in that it allows you to track calories, exercise, and communicate with other users, but with a smaller food library.
The interface is easy to use and it's a solid app - especially for tracking your progress.

Fooducate is more for those who wish to track the nutritional value of the food they're taking in, but it's still a viable calorie counter.
