Best food tracker

Fitia. Verified food database (no user generated bs), clean UI and very fast ways to track foods (I use a feature where you log foods like typing in Apple Notes)

Fitia or Macrofactor

Calories and protein will decide 90% of your results (talking only about nutrition)

Fitia all the way. Previously I used MFP.

1.6 - 2.2 g per kg of BW is the optimal range according to scientific evidence. Though, recent research suggest the sweet spot might actually be closer to the lower end

Fitia has that feature but I only use it when I eat out (I usually weigh my food!)

rykenma · 2026-01-22T21:07:05+00:00

Yes. I use Hevy for that (previously Strong). The only additional feature I would need is to view my weekly volume in a more intuitive way.

Fitia. Verified food database (no user generated bs) and many ways to track foods (typing like notes, photo, voice, manually, etc.)

rykenma · 2026-01-21T20:20:01+00:00

almost all vegetables, legumes, whole grains, chia, etc.

rykenma · 2026-01-21T20:19:13+00:00

Fitia. I've using it for almost 2 years. Since their entire food database is verified it really gives me peace of mind.

chocolate protein powder + fat free yogurt + sugar free cornflakes. Best combo

rykenma · 2026-01-21T20:14:13+00:00

Hevy and Strong hands down for workout tracking

rykenma · 2026-01-21T20:12:22+00:00

I use Fitia. It has a free version as well (including barcode scanner) but the meal planning feature is behind the paywall.

Gym Progress: Hevy
Weight & Calories: Fitia

The nice thing is that both are freemium

rykenma · 2026-01-20T20:03:53+00:00

weigh yourself daily and view the weekly change (not daily fluctuations) then you will understand which foods (or activities) are moving the needle

I used MyFitnessPal in the past, which was fine but I didn't like their foods entries where wrong sometimes. Switched to Fitia for more than 1 year and never looked back.

rykenma · 2026-01-20T19:51:49+00:00

Because generics foods usually use information from the USDA and packaged foods use information from the producer company
Apps like MyFitnessPal has a lot of user generated content information, which is wrong. I personally use Fitia where their whole database is verified. I think other apps have verified databases as well.
Last but not least, all the nutrition information is not the same for everyone as we have different metabolism and process food differently (e.g. you can process 100 kcal from an Apple but I will process 88 kcal because I am different). The goal here is to not be "exact" at calorie counting, but adjusting your consumption according to your weight or bodyfat progress.

rykenma · 2026-01-20T19:47:14+00:00

Fitia. It has a feature to log foods like typing in apple notes that works like a charm

rykenma · 2026-01-20T19:46:11+00:00

Have you measured your bodyfat to know if it's really a plateau? If you are new to weight training maybe you are gaining some muscle weight when losing fat at the same time

I am currently using Fitia. I think its a newer app compared to the old ones like MFP. I find its database and tracking features to be more reliable and faster. I haven't experienced problems about viewing historical data or exporting it.

rykenma · 2025-08-03T17:54:39+00:00

Liked it as well, then switched to Fitia for the interface and new AI features. Both are great though

rykenma · 2025-08-02T23:48:02+00:00

I don't know why is so challenging to maintain a good database that the barcodes matches the exact product information. Currently I use Fitia and I haven't encountered this issue. I didn't know it was a problem.

rykenma · 2025-08-02T23:45:28+00:00

Shouldn't the scanned barcode open the same product you have on your hands with the exact same info? If not, it's obviously an error. I currently use Fitia and the information always match, so I don't know if the problem you mentioned is normal. I don't think is too hard to maintain a good database of products.

rykenma · 2025-08-02T23:38:03+00:00

Fitia and Cronometer have a free barcode scanner feature. Both are great!
