Hey all.

I’m starting to track calories again and really dislike My Fitness Pal. It’s been buggy for me, creating duplicates in random days, and they moved their barcode scanner behind the paid tier.

Is there any decent FOSS equivalent? It doesn’t need perfect feature parity, but just anything serviceable would be nice. Thanks!

    I recommend Waistline if you use Android. It’s on F-Droid.

    The barcode scanner uses a community run database (Open Food Facts) for nutrition facts so you might find that you need to manually input items or correct outdated info more often than compared to the more popular My Fitness Pal. Obviously that gets easier once you build up a collection of your usual foods in the app.

      Agreed! I highly recommend waistline after using it for three years. If definetly gets easier once you logged most of your frequent foods. Its a but scarce for unpackaged foods (eg… Fruits and vegetables) and alcohol, but overall more than a suitable replacement for my fitness pal.
